Coronation Street fans were left baffled by yesterday’s (Monday 20th January) episode when Bethany Platt seemingly failed to notice the fire raging at Chesney Brown and Gemma Winter’s house.
Scenes where Bethany headed to the garage to speak to Abi Franklin about Ray Crosby show a fire blazing inside No. 5, but Bethany is none the wiser – despite being just feet away from the inferno.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their confusion, with one writing, 'Didn’t Bethany see the fire from across the street she was looking directly at it #coronationstreet', sic
'Someone tell me how Bethany and the car lady didn’t see the flames at Chesney’s house when they were standing right opposite it?!??' said another.
One more tweeted, 'For God's sake, don't you think Abbie or Bethany would have noticed that fire?'. sic
Chesney and Gemma’s home was attacked by an unidentified vandal who wrote 'paedo' on the window in red paint and posted a burning rag through their letterbox as Gemma slept upstairs with the quads.
