ITV Coronation Street fans slam major plothole as 'missing' Gary Windass is found

Coronation Street fans have been left scratching their heads as Gary Windass (played by Mikey North) finally got in touch with wife Maria (Samia Longchambon) when he emerged from the coma he has been in since being assaulted by Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty) on the ITV soap. Lou has been pretending to be his wife as he languished in hospital and checked himself in under a false identity, telling medics he was his neighbour, Chesney Brown (Sam Aston).

Gary called Maria at the salon, and she immediately rushed to his bedside. However, viewers noticed a glaring plot hole. "Hang on. How did Maria find Gary? She would have gone in asking for Gary's room at reception, but he's in the hospital under Chesney? #coronationstreet," one pointed out. "How did Maria find which room Gary was in? Did he tell her? Cos the hospital knows him as Chesney," another pondered. A third pointed out: "That's going to be A LOT of paperwork to deal with once they find out his name isn't Chesney because they'll have been writing all his obs down under Chesney."A fourth joked: "I've come to see a patient, Gary Windass. I'm sorry, madam, but we've no one of that name, we've a Chesney? That'll do #Corrie."
