London, August 18, 2025 – Fans of the popular British soap opera “Coronation Street” are upset after a recent episode showed a steamy sex scene. The scene featured actress Claire Sweeney, who plays Cassie Plummer, getting intimate with Steve McDonald, played by Simon Gregson.
Viewers called it “inappropriate” because it aired before 9 PM, a time when many families watch TV together.
In the episode, Cassie and Steve shared a surprising moment that left many fans shocked. One viewer said on social media, “Children are watching! This is too much for early evening TV.”
Others felt “scarred for life” by the unexpected twist in the storyline.
Coronation Street has been on air since 1960 and is known for its dramatic plots about everyday life in Weatherfield. Claire Sweeney joined the show in 2023 as Cassie, Tyrone Dobbs’ long-lost mother. Her character has been involved in many controversial stories, including drug issues and family secrets. The complaints came quickly after the episode aired. Fans did not know where to look during the randy scene.
Some people think the show went too far this time. “It’s a family show, not something for late night,” another fan complained.
So far, ITV, the channel that broadcasts “Coronation Street”, has not commented on the backlash. Claire Sweeney and Simon Gregson have also stayed quiet about the scene. But in the past, Simon Gregson has talked about how “strange” it is to film sex scenes on the show.
This is not the first time Coronation Street has faced complaints. The soap often deals with tough topics like relationships, crime, and health issues. Fans hope the show will listen to their concerns and keep things suitable for all ages.
Viewers can watch Coronation Street on ITV weekdays at 8 PM. The next episode might address the fallout from Cassie and Steve’s moment.
