Dev Alahan's Birthday Party Plan Backfires
Viewers of popular soap opera 'Coronation Street' have taken to social media to express their frustration with what they believe is a major continuity error in the show. During Tuesday's episode, character Dev Alahan is seen pressuring his daughter Asha to allow him to throw her and her twin brother Aadi a 19th birthday party. However, fans quickly pointed out that the twins were actually born in 2006, making them 18 years old, not 19.
Twitter Blunder Sparks Outrage
The controversy began when the official 'Coronation Street' Twitter account shared a throwback photo of Dev and his late wife Sunita cradling the newborn twins, along with a caption stating that the twins were turning 19 that week. Fans were quick to respond, calling out the show's writers for the oversight and questioning how the characters could be 19 if they were born 18 years ago.
Fans Demand Answers
Viewers took to Twitter to express their frustration with the mistake, with one user calling the show's writers "incompetent" for not catching the error. Others wondered why the show would draw attention to the characters' ages with a tweet that contradicted established continuity.
Continuity Errors in the Realm of Soaps
Continuity errors are not uncommon in the world of soap operas, where long-running storylines and complex character relationships can make it challenging to keep track of all the details.
