Coronation Street fans left ‘yelling at the screen’ by ‘insulting and far-fetched’ Craig Tinker blunder – fuming ‘who writes this garbage?!’
As someone who has been following Corrie for more years than I care to admit, I must say that the latest storyline involving Craig Tinker and his neighborly arrests is starting to stretch credibility even further than Audrey’s wigs or Ken Barlow’s marriage record.
As an over-the-top, die-hard Coronation Street fan, I’ve found myself scratching my head and yelling at the screen during Craig Tinker’s (Colson Smith) recent storyline due to a baffling plot inconsistency that’s left me utterly bewildered.
It’s common knowledge among fans that the ongoing controversy in Weatherfield revolves around Abi Webster (played by Sally Carman). This character found herself embroiled in a distressing saga involving deceptive videos falsely portraying her.
It’s strongly believed by her and Kevin Webster (played by Michael Le Vell) that Stefan Brent (portrayed by Paul Opacic) is the perpetrator of the unsettling videos. In fact, Kevin secretly breaks into Stefan’s office and succeeds in acquiring a disposable phone as evidence.
On Monday, in a popular soap opera, Stefan stole Kevin’s phone (the only evidence) back by fooling both of them into believing he wanted to make up.
Moreover, the unexpected developments persisted, leading to a point where the police arrived at Kevin’s garage to take him into custody for allegedly committing burglary.
Instead, what triggered discussion among viewers was not the surprise arrest itself, but rather who appeared on screen to deliver the news about it.
Once more, Officer Craig Tinker found himself making an arrest involving someone familiar to him – this time it was his neighbor and good friend, Kevin.
In a patrol car pulled up, revealing a recognizable figure who informed Kevin that under suspicion of burglary, due to breaking into Stefan’s office to get back a stolen phone, he was being taken into custody.
Surprised, Kevin was escorted into a patrol car and driven to the police station for further investigation.
Viewers found it somewhat hard to swallow the fact that Craig’s patch was actually his personal street, playfully suggesting that he might just be the unique police officer of Manchester.
Audience members, in response to the controversial plot development, turned to platform X to voice their displeasure and share humorous comments about the frequent arrests that character Craig has experienced.
‘Craig doing what he does best – nicking one of the neighbours #Corrie.’
‘Is there anyone on #Corrie that Craig hasn’t arrested?’
‘What do Weatherfield Police do when Craig is off duty? #Corrie.’
‘Isn’t it a conflict of interest for fake police man Craig to arrest his neighbour? #Corrie.’
Is Craig the sole law enforcement officer in Manchester? My grandmother always quipped that if he needed to leave, he should have brought a ticket! #Corrie.
As a devoted neighbor, I likely maintain a wall chart listing all my neighbors, marking off those I’ve had the unfortunate circumstance of arresting. #Corrie
As a long-time resident of this small town, I can’t help but shake my head at the latest incident involving Craig and his neighbour. With my years of living here, I’ve seen many a dust-up between neighbours, but this one takes the cake. It seems like Craig has a bit of a habit of getting himself into sticky situations, and this time it’s because his mother works right next to Kev. The fact that they both live in such close proximity adds fuel to the fire, and I can only imagine the gossip that’s been flying around town since the arrest went down. It’s a shame, really, because Craig and Kev were once good friends. But with a conflict of interest like this, it seems like their friendship may be permanently damaged. I can only hope that cooler heads prevail, and that Craig learns to keep his personal life separate from his professional one. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble he’ll find himself in next.
Regarding Stefan Corey’s scrapped documentary, it seems his ultimate goal, given the use of deep fakes leading to Kevin’s arrest, is unclear. What does Stefan hope to achieve with these actions? #CoreyMystery
“Corrie, it’s puzzling how Craig manages to keep friends on that street. I can’t help but wonder, how many of his neighbors have been arrested by now?”
‘How is Craig not a conflict of interest. Get a different cop ffs #Corrie.’
In a Coronation Street fans‘ Facebook discussion, someone raised the question: “Aren’t there potential conflicts of interest if Craig conducts interviews with his neighbors?”
As a seasoned detective with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but find it peculiar that Officer Johnson appears to be involved in every street crime we encounter. It just doesn’t sit right with me. His constant presence at the scene of the crime seems almost too coincidental to ignore. I’ve seen many things in this line of work, but this pattern is hard to explain away as mere happenstance. Something about his involvement feels off, and I can’t help but question whether he may be on the wrong side of the law himself.
People also added their thoughts, such as: “I can relate, it really bothers me too!” or “I find myself getting angry and shouting at the TV.” They expressed that the plotlines seem implausible, stating things like, “They’re just ridiculous!” or “Who came up with these nonsensical scripts?” Some viewers even criticized the portrayal of law enforcement, commenting that it was disrespectful, saying “It’s an insult to the police.”
Someone jokingly pointed out: “In the real world, he wouldn’t have any role in investigations within Weatherfield, neither could he apprehend or interrogate anyone he recognizes because it would pose a conflict of interest.”
‘BUT it’s a soap, we aren’t going to see him doing his job if he didn’t do it.’
Fans of Coronation Street and Emmerdale can anticipate excitement, as ITV executives have unveiled a major reshuffle of their broadcasting schedule to coincide with the Olympics.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that statement like this: Given the sports extravaganza hogging the spotlight on BBC and ITV throughout the day, ITV is ramping up their delivery of our beloved soap operas to ensure they don’t miss a beat in keeping us entertained.
Starting from now, the fresh episodes will become available on the ITVX streaming service every day at 7 am, corresponding with their scheduled air dates. Additionally, you can catch them during their regular evening broadcasts.
On Monday morning, the verified accounts for Emmerdale and Coronation Street posted an exhilarating announcement, bringing joy to their followers.
They wrote identical messages that said: “We’re offering you a small surprise during the summer, while the Olympics are happening.”
Every day, catch Corrie and Emmerdale episodes on ITVX at 7 am! Just be mindful to maintain a spoiler-free environment for those who watch later in the evening.
By cleverly scheduling, the broadcaster ensures viewers can enjoy both Olympic coverage and their favorite soaps without any conflicts.
For quite some time now, the BBC has been airing new EastEnders episodes as early as 6am, well before they are aired on television.
