Distracted Corrie fans complain Abi Franklin detail 'is not normal'

The character has firmly found a place in the hearts of Coronation Street viewers, but many have noticed a distracting detail about Abi Franklin.

Fans have noticed something about Abi, played by Sally Carman, and they're asking questions.

It's been a harrowing time for the grieving mum as she returned to the cobbles after being missing for weeks.

And then she went after her son Seb's killer Corey Brent with a gun.

The vengeful showdown led to Abi and Corey falling into a Victorian drain in highly-charged blockbuster scenes in the middle of a storm.

But despite this, soap watchers have clocked that the mechanic always has lovely manicured red nails.

They took to Twitter to have their say on the detail.

"I bet Abi's nails will still be manicured perfectly after all this." said one.

"How does Abi the mechanic always have perfectly manicured nails? Hasn't even chipped one going in and out of that biscuit tin to check on her gun," wondered another.

"Not being funny but the last thing on Abi’s mind would be to get her nails done!" another fan exclaimed.

And a fourth fan asked: "Which nail salon does Abi get her nails done? They’ve lasted after weeks on the run and working as a grease monkey?"

Another said that it isn't 'normal or real life.'

"Abi's nails are immaculate, no matter what her situation is," they said.

"That is not normal or real life. Mending a car, her nails are perfect and red.

"Run away to get a gun, again, she comes back without a chip! She must have packets of fake stick-ons in her pocket!

And another tweeted: "Makes me laugh, Abi is supposed to be a mechanic, yet she’s got bright red manicured nails...."

Abi can be forgiven for enjoying some pampering after going through intense trauma on Corrie.

Seb died after being brutally attacked by Corey back in May and the smirking teen walked free from court after framing his friend Kelly Neelan.

Abi has since set out to prove his guilt resulting in a dramatic confrontation between the pair in Debbie Webster's Horrornation Street Halloween house of horrors.

The floor then collapsed sending them into a drain below the street with Abi's gun.

Eventually heroic cafe owner Roy Cropper came to the rescue and dragged them to safety.

But Corey now insists he wants Abi to face a charge of attempted murder.
