Corrie's David Platt leaves viewers baffled over his request to Bernie

Coronation Street fans were left baffled during an unexpected visit to Weatherfield.

In a change to the schedule, viewers of the ITV soap were treated to an unusual Tuesday night episode.

But it's not so much of an extra episode, more a re-jig as Corrie is removed from Friday's schedule for England's latest World Cup qualifier.

In the episode, viewers watched as Aadi Alahan was left disappointed by his dad again.

The teen floated ideas of plans to move to London for an apprenticeship but Dev quickly offered him the general manager job across his multiple shops in order for him to stay.

Feeling pleased, Aadi felt his dad was finally being genuine with his faith in his son after leaving him to look after himself in their car crash last month.

But he was soon brought back down to earth with a bang when Bernie revealed that Dev can’t afford to bankroll his move to London because he spends all his money on keeping Asha's video off the internet.

Left to look after the shop, Aadi hits the bottle and later keys his dad's brand new car.

Elsewhere, Aadi's girlfriend Summer was seen getting closer to teacher Daniel Osbourne.

After Summer overheard Daniel telling David his babysitter has let him down, Summer suggests she gives Max his coaching in Daniel’s flat so she can look after Bertie at the same time.

Gazing at her adoringly, Max thanks Summer for his lesson but when Daniel suggests to Summer she stays and shares his takeaway, she's soon left believing Daniel is interested in her.

But despite all that, it was actually David who captured viewers' attention.

The dad-of-two headed to the kebab shop where Bernie was stood outside getting stuck into a crossword.

Viewers were then left in stitches when Bernie welcomed David by referring to him as "Captain Sinkhole" following the latest on-screen disaster.

But it was David's next question that baffled Corrie fans.

"Do you do Curly fries, kids love them," David asked to which Bernie replied: "They're for you aren't they?"

And David confessed to him being the one who wants them really.

But when Bernie told him they weren't on the menu, David hit back: "What kind of establishment is this."

The exchange, however, had fans commenting on social media.

"What chippy sells curly fries #Corrie," one baffled soap watcher tweeted.

Another said: "I can do you some straight fries and you can take them home put rollers in them". Bernie to David who wanted curly fries #Corrie @itvcorrie," alongside a string of crying laughing emojis.

"David's obsession with Curly fries #Corrie," a third laughed.

A fourth added: "Curly fries are rank #Corrie."
