Coronation Street fans point out glaring error in staged break-in plan

This week's first trip to Coronation Street saw Ryan Connor determined to get his hands on £5,000 to join his friends in Ibiza.

The DJ has been yearning to return to the Spanish island ever since he landed back in Weatherfield in 2018. And if he can get the money he needs, he can have a stake in a new bar alongside his friends.

Desperate, he and Bistro manager Debbie Webster concoct a scheme to each come into some money, while performing the "perfect victimless crime".

During the episode, Debbie explained the plan would involve Ryan returning to the Bistro a few hours after closing, staging a break-in and leaving with the contents of the "safe full of cash".

Fans at home however found one huge problem with the idea. Taking to Twitter, Hazel Scott said: "At what point in the scriptwriting meeting did NOBODY say 'The Bistro would be mainly card payments. They’d be lucky to have £100 in the safe'?"

Shaun said: "How much in CASH does a Salford backstreet never busy bistro make on a Monday?". Chippytea_ said: "No-one will suspect an insurance job when Debbie is clearly on the brink of bankruptcy!"

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
