ITV Coronation Street fans left with same question over Weatherfield's properties as Laura moves in with Gary and Maria

Coronation Street fans have found themselves asking the same question following the latest scenes on the soap.

The popular ITV show was back in its new hour-long slot on Wednesday night with viewers seeing Abi Webster causing further horror before landing back in the hospital and Daisy Midgley bumping into Daniel Osbourne's flame Nicky Wheatly for the first time as she returned to Weatherfield.

Elsewhere on the cobbles, Kelly Neelan was seen telling Maria Windass that she was handing in her notice at the barbers, Trim Up North, because she needed more time to look after her mum

During her arrival back on the cobbles last month, Laura Neelan dropped a bombshell on Kelly when she revealed that she was dying from cancer.

Since then, Kelly has been running herself ragged trying to secretly look after her mum while juggling shifts at the barbers and going to school.

But Gary and his wife Maria discovered the truth and offered to help Kelly with her mum. However, it wasn't enough and Kelly wanted to do right by her mum.

Not willing to let her give up on her future, Maria and Gary decided to let Laura move in with them in their flat, leaving Kelly delighted.

Corrie fans, however, were soon commenting on social media about the decision but not because Gary is hiding the huge secret that he killed Laura's estranged husband and Kelly's dad Rick, but that the property doesn't quite seem big another to house all those people.

There are now five people living in the flat with Maria and Gary initially sharing the home with Maria’s son Liam before they took in Kelly and now Laura.

"How many bedrooms in this flat? Huge properties on #corrie," @StuartYoung001 asked.

@lightbebe2020 said: "How many rooms does gary and maria have in their apartment anyways...#Corrie."

"Genuine question but how many bedrooms does Maria and Gary's flat have? #Corrie," @redbeanmilktea quizzed.

@SusieL commented: "#corrie So now we're supposed to believe that pokey flat that Gary and Maria live in has 4 bedrooms???"

"Gary & Maria's flat has officially become the Summer Bay House from Home and Away. #Corrie," @bredrew2 added alongside a picture of the large fictional property.

A similar question was also being asked about Daniel Osbourne's humble abode as not only does he live in his flat with his son Bertie, Paul Winter is also a lodger and Daisy is spending more time there as her romance with the teacher hots up.

Still, @helsrachel86 asked: "How do Daniel Bertie and Paul all live in that tiny flat I only see three doors??? #corrie."

And it is not the first time the Salford-based soap's fans have questioned the size of Weatherfield's properties.

Back in October 2020, they were left baffled by the size of Eileen Grimshaw's house when Sean Tully returned home with his son Dylan in tow.

Dylan, whose Sean's son with his friend Violet Wilson, returned to Weatherfield after 10 years off-screen. And his arrival came just after Eileen's son Todd made a reappearance.

But that meant that five people, including Eileen, Sean, and Mary Taylor, were all living in Eileen's terraced house.

Referencing the other baffling home, @Dayjur11 said: "Maria's flat is as palatial as Eileen's house. Kelly's mother can stay in the west wing. #Corrie."
