Coronation Street puzzlers

(This post was originally posted by Graeme N on the Coronation Street Blog in January 2013.)


From time to time certain things about Coronation Street puzzle me. Normally these are passing notions and I soon move on to loftier problems. 

However, I thought that finally it might be a good idea to get these issues off my chest and see if any of you, lovely Coronation Street Blog contributors, commenters and passers-by, may be able to come to my aid. So here goes, in no particular order:

1. Where do the residents of Coronation Street park their cars? Given that a Mini would stretch the length of three houses, it doesn't make sense.

2. Why is Sean Tully still in the cast?

3. What happened to that massive living room and extra kitchen that suddenly appeared upstairs at the Rovers while Liz was landlady? Suddenly it seemed the Rovers had turned into a back street Tardis.

4. How did Michelle Connor go from singer, to barmaid to Underworld lynchpin with apparently no previous experience or training? 

5. Why is Sean Tully still in the cast?

6. Why did Audrey's house suddenly completely change with no explanation although she appears to live at the same address?

7. What happened to the staircase in what is now Sally Webster's house? When Derek and Mavis lived there it was in a completely different place. 

8. Why is Sean Tully still in the cast?

9. Why can some conversations be clearly overheard, anywhere in the Street, for example the Rovers or Roy's Rolls, while others are conveniently missed?

10. Why is Dr Carter the only doctor at the Medical Centre in the same way that Martin Platt was the only nurse at Weatherfield General, until that trollop he had an affair with appeared?

11. What is the point of the posh flats on Victoria Street? Yes I know Rob lives there now, but this surely makes my question all the more pressing.

12. Where on earth does Mary Taylor keep that monstrously large motorhome? 


13. How did Rita end up with such a massive bank balance from selling midget gems and doing the odd bit of warbling at t'Gatsby? 

14. And finally, why is Sean Tully still in the cast?

Answers on a postcard please. Oh and please do add your own puzzlers!
