Coronation Street fans baffled by glaring Harvey Gaskell prison blunder as they bombard soap with questions
Viewers don't understand why a number of characters haven't grassed the villain up to prison guards over his antics.
CORONATION Street fans have been left baffled by a glaring Harvey Gaskell prison blunder as they bombarded the soap with questions.
The villain is played by Will Mellor in the ITV soap, and earlier this week, he waged war on Adam Barlow after the solicitor dropped his appeal case.
Harvey sent a henchman to try and run down Adam’s estranged wife Sarah, but Adam took the hit instead and ended up in hospital.
On Wednesday’s episode, Harvey spoke to brother Damon on the phone and demanded money now that his appeal wasn’t going to go through.
During the call on a secret mobile he had hidden in his cell, Harvey warned his sibling there would be trouble if he didn’t get him the cash.
However, Coronation Street viewers were baffled by how Harvey was able to get away with making so many calls on his mobile, having been seen using the device on numerous occasions.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote: “Why has no one in that prison found that phone yet. can’t they hear him talking all the time.”
Another added: “So how does Harvey charge that phone he shouldn’t have in klink???”
A third tweeted: “Why doesn’t Damon just report Harvey for having a phone and harassing him.”
A fellow fan shared a similar thought, writing: “Why doesn’t adam rat on Harvey and tell prison he has a phone #Corrie.”
Meanwhile a fifth shared: “You’d have thought prisons would be more onto inmates having phones. Or maybe it is that easy.”
Will, 47, recently opened up about Harvey’s return, saying: “Firstly, I’m glad to be back because I really enjoy playing this character.
“It’s something that straight away when they asked me to play this part, I knew what I wanted to do with it.
“I wanted to play him very real, a proper baddie, I thought if I’m ever going to be in Coronation Street I’m glad I’m playing a baddie because it’s a part I don’t get to play a lot.
“I enjoy playing him even though he’s a baddie.”
