CORONATION Street fans have been left ‘wanting to slap’ a character after calling out their infuriating habit.
The ITV soap has a large cast of characters, and fans aren’t backwards in coming forwards about which ones they like and which ones annoy them.
Unfortunately for Sarah Platt, she is currently on the annoying list after Coronation Street fans picked up on her infuriating pattern of behaviour.
Sarah – played by Tina O’Brien – split up with husband Adam Barlow a few months ago after cheating on him with bad boy Damon Hay.
But after Damon was sent to prison, Sarah has been seeking solace from ex-fiance Gary Windass, which has landed him in big trouble with his wife, Maria Connor.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – Corrie fans vented their frustrations over Sarah, with one writing: “I’m not a violent person but I want to slap Sarah.
“Why does she keep going for affairs, and Gary is not helping the situation. She jumps from one man to the next.”
Another added: “If Sarah needs a slap there are about 10,000,000 viewers prepared to do it.”
A third tweeted: “You can move in with Sarah now Gary. I’m sure she’ll welcome you with open legs.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared a gif of RuPaul issuing a fake slap on Drag Race and added: “Sarah refuses to respect any committed relationships.”
Last week, Gary watched Sarah with concern as she knocked back the wine in the Rovers.
When he spotted her heading home with another bottle, he went over.
Later, Maria returned home to find Sarah and Gary looking shifty.
She picked up some things and surreptitiously placed a camera on the side.
Oblivious, Gary saw Sarah out before they hugged and agreed to keep their distance from now on.
But Maria watched them on her phone and her face darkened, before she confronted her husband.
Gary tried to explain himself and hoped for a reconciliation, but Maria made it clear that was not on the cards, leaving Gary gutted.
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
