Coronation Street fans sink claws into character’s ‘ridiculous’ accent- swiping ‘that can’t be real!’
CORONATION Street fans have sunk their claws into a character’s ‘ridiculous’ accent- swiping ‘that can’t be real!’
During Wednesday’s episode of the ITV soap, Evelyn and Cassie Plummer enlisted Roy Cropper’s help in trying to expose a puppy farming scheme ran by Terry.
They got Roy to call a number and he soon found himself talking to a Scottish lady called June.
June explained the puppy advertised was £1,500 and added: “But I’m afraid it has to be cash as I’m sure you’ll quite understand, I’m nervous about giving out my bank details.”
The trio weren’t buying her story, so Cassie went to the address and pretended to be a delivery driver with a big box of dog food.
The woman who answered the door did indeed have a Scottish accent, but she was nowhere near as polite as she had been on the phone.
She said: “There shouldn’t be food coming here…puppy food should go to the dog house..6 Horton Way, five minutes doon there.”
However, some Coronation Street fans were not convinced by the accent, and took to X – formerly Twitter – to comment.
One wrote: “As a Scot that accent was f***ing dreadful!”
Another added: “That’s gotta be a fake Scottish accent surely?”
A third tweeted: “LOL f*** off! THAT is not a real Scottish accent from that old blonde women!”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “What a ridiculous Scottish accent that was.”
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
