ITV Coronation Street fans left ‘screaming at the TV’ over Harvey Gaskell prison error

Coronation Street fans have spotted a huge error with Harvey Gaskell.

Tonight on the ITV soap, Harvey was fuming after finding out that he hadn’t been able to bring Adam Barlow down after he organised for one of his friends to knock him down in a car to teach him a lesson. However, when Damon made a call to Harvey in prison, he explained he needed money off him now his appeal wasn’t going to go through and warned trouble was ahead if he didn’t.

However, fans have noticed a huge error with Harvey’s constant calls from prison. One wrote: “Why has no one in that prison found that phone yet. can’t they hear him talking all the time. #Corrie,” whilst a second added: “So how does Harvey charge that phone he shouldn’t have in klink??? #Corrie.” A third wrote: “Why doesn’t Damon just report Harvey for having a phone and harassing him.”

A fourth fan added: “Why doesn’t adam rat on Harvey and tell prison he has a phone #Corrie,” with a fifth sharing: “You’d have thought prisons would be more onto inmates having phones. Or maybe it is that easy. #Corrie.” Sharing their thoughts on Twitter, a sixth shared: “That phone must be stuck to harveys hand #corrie.”

Will Mellor – who is reprising his role as villainous Harvey Gaskell – has admitted his role is very “challenging”.

Speaking about Harvey being back, Will shared: “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.”

He added: “He has a way about him that I enjoy playing because it’s a challenge for me. I don’t get to play many characters like that, he’s probably the most villainous character I’ve ever played. I knew what I wanted to do with him so when they asked me to come back it was a straight yes. Obviously I wanted to make sure the storyline was something interesting for the audience because the reaction has always been good for Harvey, they seem to like him even though he’s a baddie.

“People like to hate a baddie but at the same time he’s got a bit of charisma about him even though he’s horrendous, so yeah I was glad to come back. I think it’s interesting, he’s got a few scores to settle.”
