Eagle-eyed Coronation Street fans call out blunder as doctors leave morphine out next to drug addict Abi Franklin in hospital after she injures herself
Coronation Street fans were left confused during Friday night’s episode after doctors left morphine out next to drug addict Abi Franklin while she was in hospital.
Eagle-eyed viewers of the ITV soap called out the unrealistic plot hole when the mechanic – played by Sally Carman – was rushed to see medics after a serious accident at her garage.
During her shift, her boss and boyfriend Kevin, was called out to help a customer who had broken down and, while he was gone, an engine fell on top of Abi.

Fans were astonished when Abi was left at the hospital dealing with the pain at one point left alone, lying just meters away from the morphine.
The episode showed her crying as she read a goodbye card from her children when a doctor asked if she needed someone to talk to.
Mother-of-three Abi has been dealing with the emotional stress of having missed saying goodbye to her twins Charlie and Lexi before they went to Australia with their adoptive parents because she was at work.

She told the doctor: ‘I don’t need a counsellor, I just need something to take the pain away.’
When the medical staff rushed off to see another patient, they left the drugs cabinet unsupervised and the recovering addict helped herself to a handful of pills.
However her ex-boyfriend Peter Barlow walked into the room, just at the moment she tried to stash them in her pocket.

Fans of the show on Twitter were quick to call out the blunder and raise the point that a doctor would never leave an open drugs cabinet in a patient’s room.
One wrote: ‘Never in a million years do they leave meds around like that.’
Another tweeted: ‘BS!! They do not leave the drugs trolley open like that, never.’

A third said: ‘Oh my god Abi is BREAKING ME.’
Peter then saved Abi from taking the pills and assured her he wouldn’t tell anyone about what had happened.
Abi broke up with Peter when she realised he didn’t want her to join him sailing around the world on his boat.
But over the past year, since the pair have moved on with other people, fans seem to think that there could be potential for the two to rekindle their romance.
