It took place in a church and was shown before the watershed.
So, looks like Corrie is at it again. The savages that write the programme aren’t just content with leaving a murderer on the loose around the cobbles, it now appears that they want to bombard us with scenes that feel like they’ve come straight out of an Irvine Welsh novel.
Last night, former vicar Billy Mayhew strayed further from his father’s path when he took heroin in a church on the show, following a storyline that has seen him get hooked on painkillers.
Billy said: “I can’t take more of this. Why do you think I called you. Please don’t play with me.”
“Calm down vicar,” said his brother Lee, before producing a bag containing the Class A drug. Or, as he put it: “Smack, horse, heroin.”
The two of them were then seen on the floor resting against the pews taking in the effects of the drug. “This must be what heaven feels like,” Lee said.
But viewers were less impressed:
Disgusted by that closing scene in Coronation Street. Is this the cobbles or Trainspotting, Manchester or Edinburgh? #Corrie #CoronationStreet
