Eagle-eyed Corrie fans have spotted something unusual on the Street recently – a sudden epidemic of Weatherfield residents wandering round clutching Costa cups.
Viewers have noticed the new addition to the show in a few episodes. In last night’s show, Daniel Osbourne was seen holding a cup as he chatted to Peter Barlow about Ken’s Christmas tree.
And Kate Connor was spotted with a Costa as she flirted with Rana Nazir.
But fans are confused about just where the coffee-loving Weatherfield folk are getting their drinks!

“I’ve never seen a Costa on the street,” one viewer pointed out. While another said: “So how did Daniel get a Costa? Didn’t know there was a Costa coffee shop in Weatherfield.”
And some fans were worried about what this meant for the food and drink hub of Coronation Street – Roy’s Rolls. Will this mysterious Costa cost Roy his trade?!

“Roy won’t be happy,” one disgruntled viewer pointed out, while another – rightly – said: “Roy would be fuming if he saw that #Costa cup.”
Is Corrie gearing up for a battle of the coffee shops in the new year? Because we totally know whose side we’d be on!
Of course, product placement in ITV shows is nothing new, and it seems this Costa/Corrie partnership is working.
One fan commented: “I want a coffee now.”
