Coronation Street viewers were shocked to see Cassie Plummer rushed to hospital in a dramatic turn of events.

In the last episode of Coronation Street (which aired Monday, 21st August 2023) Cassie was attacked by drug dealer Dean and taken to A&E.

But viewers were left confused by an apparent plot hole, questioning why the hospital didn't have any security.

One fan wrote, '#Corrie hilarious! A fight kicks off in hospital waiting room. No security. Everyone minding their own business. Drug dealer rushes out.

'A little lady pops up behind the desk. “Cassie”. All back to normal. Is this programme now becoming totally unrealistic?'

'...and where the heck was security in all the handbags at dawn nonsense,' wrote another viewer online.

While another said, 'So what were the security people doing while that dust up was going on at the hospital? Picking their noses?'

Is Cassie about to face more drama? Coronation Street viewers certainly seem to think so, with one writing ahead of tonight's show, 'Right time to find out what trouble our ‘Cassie’ is causing in tonight’s #Corrie.'
