Coronation Street fans have same complaint over Carla and Peter's new flat

Coronation Street fans all have the same complaint - as they noticed an issue with Carla and Peter's new flat.

The pair have got a new home after moving out of Ken Barlow's house and fans were treated to a look at their new property and how they'd decided to do the interior design in it. However, some viewers couldn't help but notice an 'obvious' issue with the layout.

Frustrated fans took to social media to criticise the "poorly placed" furniture, especially one item in particular that they said was causing an obvious blockage to some key items in their home.

"That TV is very poorly placed!" one person penned, whilst another added: "The chair is in the way of the TV ... only saying ..."

A third shared: "TV placement does not work," as a fourth wrote: "It annoys me that the TV isn't directly opposite the couch, in fact, there is a chair in front of it." A fifth added: "Who puts a chair in front of the TV sideways? lol, do like the settee though."

"How do they watch telly," one questioned, whilst one viewer suggested they ditch the offending item altogether.

They penned: "Oh yes, ditch the chair in front of the tv," whilst another posted on social media and added the flat's layout: "How would you watch the tv with the table and the big chair in front of it?"

It comes amid a huge storyline for Carla, as killer Stephen Reid tries to takeover at Underworld by drugging his boss Carla.

Asked what he thinks viewers of the soap will think about the plot, Todd Boyce said: "I am not sure. She is a very popular character.

"Up until now he has targeted people who are relatively new characters that people haven't really got to know but this is different. Chris Gascoyne [Peter Barlow] has been so lovely about it, he said, 'Oh mate you have no idea what you are in for when this starts.'"

Todd enjoys working with Ali King, who plays Carla Connor, but worries about what fans will think of his character.

Speaking about working with his co-star, he added: "Ali King and I have had some great scenes together, really fiery scenes and I have enjoyed that and I think people have enjoyed her getting one over on him so they will hate it when the tables are turned."
