Coronation Street viewers DIVIDED over SHOCK Amy storyline
Coronation Street fans are conflicted over this plot twist
Coronation Street viewers were left in shock last year after Amy Barlow took matters into her own hands.
The latest episode of Coronation Street (which aired Friday 15th November 2023) saw Amy visit a bar with the intention of weeding out and exposing predatory men.
After coming into contact with a man who was attempting to spike a woman's drink, Amy swaps the drinks so he's drinking the spiked drink.
But the storyline has divided fans. Some weren't happy with the storyline, while others praised the 'fantastic' performance.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'This Amy storyline is stupid. He tried to drug her, they took him for a car ride and then took him to hospital, why would they get done.'

And a third wrote, '2 Questions: 1. Why didn’t Amy call the bouncers and ask them to call the police to report this guy for spiking drinks, what was the Driving him to an industrial area about & 2. Why does Steve keep talking in that silly voice like an idiot.'
