History YMMV / CoronationStreet

** Sean Tully is hated by fans for the large amount of screentime he receives, despite being a fairly one-note comedy character at best, an offensive CampGay stereotype at worst, and rarely having much to do with the ongoing storylines. This led to some fans suggesting he is still there because he is friends with the producer. Ironically, attempts to give Sean a stronger part in a storyline occasionally backfire, most notably during the bullying storyline in 2022-2023, when he refused to accept his son Dylan or his friends could be bullying Liam, at one point referring to the accusations as baseless despite Liam being pushed to the brink of suicide.

** Sean Tully. Very hated by fans, some suggesting he is still there because he is friends with the producer.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: ''Coronation St.: The Mystery of the Missing Hotpot Recipe'' is a HiddenObjectGame for the PC that resolves around [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin finding the missing hotpot recipe]]. Despite being released in 2011, the presentation is rather lacking with just still images, stale dialogue, sound effects that are few and far between, and an absent soundtrack. Gameplay consists of finding the right objects, but the scale of those objects is all over the place with some of the objects being much smaller than you'd expect. The hint button doesn't so much as tell you where to look as it just gives you the solution. Consequences are also minimal because repeatedly clicking the wrong object just swirls your cursor around the screen for a brief periode of time.

* WTHCastingAgency:
** Some people have argued this with Simon Barlow's actor Alex Bain. Although Bain's race has never been publicly disclosed, some viewers believe that Simon has noticeably dark skin for a child born to a Caucasian couple. People are generally willing to look past this one though, because Alex has been a great actor even since being introduced as a child.
** Similarly, Eileen's father was played by Edward De Souza, of partial Indian ancestry. Although he has played characters who are clearly supposed to be white (he was a regular hero in Film/HammerHorror films), he has often played "exotic" characters, Mrs. Warboys' Portuguese lover in ''Series/OneFootInTheGrave'', Bond's sheik ex-classmate in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', and is noticeably olive-skinned, compared to blonde Eileen. Ironic considering the fuss about his grandson's father being black.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show is very popular in Canada, so much that cast members do regular meet and greets with fans over there and having their various hour-long specials air on Creator/{{CBC}}. Also, the country's airings of the episodes only trail the UK's by a few weeks versus back in the 2000s, when it was nine months behind.
** It's also big in New Zealand.

** Where to begin with Bethany Platt, when she was a child she nearly died when she accidentally ate a vast amount of drugs and was hospitalised. When she returned to the street as a teenager, she was then bullied mercilessly by the other teens to a point of developing body confidence issues and she was manipulated by a criminal who was suddenly found dead under her house. Her mum was institutionalised after having a nervous breakdown, her aunt was murdered, her uncle, David, tried to commit murder-suicide to avenge her and was then sent to jail when her second uncle, Nick, framed him for money laundering. After being kissed by an emotionally vulnerable Daniel Osbourne during the death of his wife, she was then blamed for Sinead's death and portrayed as the instigator of the kiss due to her feelings for him. The worst of it all was when she was groomed by ephebophiles and systematically raped by older men, where she then developed severe PTSD from the incident.
