The segment left Corrie fans fuming with many claiming they were going to “boycott” the soap until Corey was put behind bars.
One raged: “F*****g boycott Coronation Street. Doesn’t deserve views.”
Another penned: “I’m in bits I can’t believe Seb died like I swear to god if Corey gets away with it imma boycott #corrie.” (sic)
A third added: “This is by far the most heartwrenching episode of Corrie I’ve seen in a while.
“I really like Seb. Corey… I swear if you pull a Geoff Metcalfe with Corey, I will join a boycott. He deserves to be punished.”
“BOYCOTT #Corrie UNTIL COREY IS REMOVED,” a fourth tweeted.
A fifth commented: “Corey not being found guilty is a serious insult to Sarah Lancaster and her family The Hate Crime storyline has been fantastic, but this feels disrespectful as hell #CoronationStreet #Corrie @itvcorrie.”
Another viewer branded the soap an “absolute disgrace”.”
Coronation Street airs on Monday at 7.30pm on ITV.
