Coronation Street blunder as Maria Connor fails to notice telltale sign Gary Windass has been playing away
Gary decided to ignore his wife's calls, not realising the magnitude of the situation at the other end of the phone
CORONATION Street fans have spotted a blunder as Maria Connor failed to notice a telltale sign that Gary Windass has been playing away.
In recent weeks, Gary has been spending time with former flame Sarah Platt, but at one point she made a drunken pass at her ex during a heart to heart at his flat.
Gary’s wife Maria has been none the wiser, and in last night’s episode of Coronation Street, Gary reached out to Sarah again after seeing her knock back the wine in the Rovers Return.
The pair ended up back at her apartment drinking wine as they talked about their respective issues.
Gary had no idea that Maria’s son Liam had been found unconscious at home after taking the Benzos he had found at Paul Foreman’s flat earlier in the evening.
The teen has been struggling with anxiety ever since his bullying ordeal at the hands of Mason Radcliffe, and when he arrived home to an empty flat, he suffered a panic attack and decided to take some of the medication.
He was found by Maria and Paul’s partner Billy Mayhew, and they rushed him to hospital.
Frantic with worry, Maria repeatedly called her husband but Gary chose to ignore her calls while he was with Sarah.
When he eventually answered and learned what had happened to Liam, he rushed out of the flat to head to the hospital.
Maria demanded to know where he had been and why he hadn’t answered his phone, and Gary lied, saying he had left his mobile in his van while doing something else.
But Coronation Street viewers were quick to spot a blunder on Maria’s part, after she failed to notice the telltale signs Gary had been drinking.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote: “It’s a mystery why Maria can’t smell the alcohol on Gary’s breath…”
Another added: “Surely Maria can smell drink on Gary’s breath…or maybe she can smell his bull***t instead.”
A third tweeted: “Gazza breathing wine fumes all over dopey Maria!!”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “Ooo Gary Maria won’t be happy when she smells wine on your breath #Corrie”.
