Eagle-eyed Corrie fan stunned by props 'blunder' on the soap

A Corrie fan took to social media after spotting what they thought was a props blunder.

The eagle-eyed viewer visited our Manchester Evening News Coronation Street fan Facebook page after noticing that two characters seemed to share the same prop.

David Platt, played by Jack P Shepherd, and next door neighbour Yasmeen Metcalfe, played by Shelley King, recently seemed to share the same laptop decorated with the same colourful sticker.

"Three episodes apart! Do David and Yazmeen really share a laptop??" they asked.

"Probably! The most likely move props around to suit storylines! Roy will probably have that laptop in Roy's Rolls next week!" replied another fan.

"Maybe they just like the same sticker," wondered another fan.

"It’s a communal laptop for the street," suggested another fan.

And another fan speculated: "It's due to budget cuts."

It's been a dramatic time for both David at number 8 and Yasmeen at number 6 of late.

David has been left devastated by his wife Shona forgetting who he is after suffering catastrophic injures after being shot on Christmas Day.

The cafe worker has since refused to see her husband and wants a divorce.

The father-of-two has since had a fling with newcomer Alina Pop, who recently returned to the street to work for his brother Nick Tilsley at the Underworld factory.

Meanwhile Yasmeen has been abused by her husband Geoff, who has been manipulating and bullying her behind closed doors.

David's mum Gail found Yasmeen outside crying by the chicken coop after vile Geoff killed and cooked her favourite hen Charlotte Bronte.
