The Manchester based soap included a tribute to the victims of Monday's horrific bombing at the end of Wednesday's episode
Corrie paid tribute to the victims of the Manchester terror attack in its episode on Wednesday night.

A message along the bottom read: “We Stand Together.”
Corrie viewers said on social media that they were touched by the 'lovely tribute'.
One of the victims of the attack, Martyn Hett, 29, was a Coronation Street super-fan and had a tattoo of character Deirdre Barlow inked on to his leg.

Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster, wrote on social media that she was 'heartbroken and devastated'.
Eva Price actress Catherine Tyldesley tweeted: “My beautiful home town, full of beautiful, innocent people. This morning my heart is broken … #RIP and love to victims and families.”
Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully, said he could not 'comprehend' the news.
