Coronation Street fans were left outranged after noticing a heartbreaking “error” in last night’s episode.
Pregnant Sinead Tinker was left sobbing in the hospital hallway after she was told she has grade three cervical cancer.
And while viewers’ hearts were breaking for her, they were also furious over the “heartless” response of the nurses in the hospital.
Or the lack of response, really.
As Sinead cried in the hallway, a number of nurses were seen walking past her and totally ignoring her. It wasn’t until her father-in-law, Ken Barlow, appeared that anyone had noticed her.
Fans took to Twitter to slam the “unrealistic” behaviour of the soap’s nurses.
You'd have thought that one of those passing nurses would ask a distraught Sinead what's wrong! #Corrie

I’m not sure at least 3 nurses ( or most people ) would walk past someone who was so distressed. #Corrie

That wasn’t very nice for Sinead rushing through the hospital corridor in tears and nurses just walking straight past her not even noticing her in tears. Surely one would have stopped to comfort her. #Corrie #Sinead

This Sinead storyline is grim. The nurses would not be walking past her while she's in tears. #corrie

Would a nurse walk past a hysterically sobbing young woman alone in a hospital corridor? #Corrie

Sinead had been left with a devastating decision after being advised by doctors that, to have the best chance at beating the cancer, she should begin a course of radiotherapy straight away.
And because of the aggressive nature of the cancer, the doctors advised Sinead to consider a termination.
She broke down in tears before running out of the room, with the doctor shouting after her.
The episode ended with Sinead telling Ken about her heartbreaking diagnosis, begging him not to tell his son and her new husband, Daniel Osbourne, the news.
