CORONATION Street fans were left baffled after watching Wednesday night’s episode of the soap.
Viewers who tuned in last night (15 August) watched on in shock as the soap made a major blunder over soap legend Ken Barlow’s (William Roache) dinner.
The long-time Weatherfield resident has been struggling with his heath since suffering a major fall earlier this year.
He now needs regular care, but a full-time professional carer was too pricey for the Barlow family, so instead they recruited Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) to care for him as she had previous experience looking after an ex-boyfriend.
Cassie could be seen hard at work at the Barlow house last night caring for Ken, who was resting in bed.
During a tense, romantically charged meeting on the stairs with Ken’s son-in-law Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), Cassie explained that she was on her way up to take Ken his dinner – a chicken casserole which she had made from scratch.

Steve may have been pleased to see Cassie taking Ken such a thoughtful dinner, but Corrie fans were not.
They were left fuming as the writers seemingly “forgot” that Ken is a vegetarian, so wouldn’t appreciate a chicken casserole for dinner.
Shocked that they would forget such a vital piece of information about the legendary soap characters, ITV fans flocked to a Corrie Facebook fan page where they voiced their annoyance.
One fan queried: “Why was Cassie taking Ken Chicken casserole? He’s vegetarian or vegan.”
