Corrie fans spot ‘new Todd continuity blunder’ amid missing facial scar

Coronation Street fans were left with raised eyebrows this evening after spotting Todd Grimshaw’s ‘permanent’ facial scar was no more as actor Gareth Pierce made his debut on the ITV soap tonight.

Soap bosses chose to recast Todd after Bruno Langley was sacked in 2017, with Gareth making his first appearance on the cobbles this week.

Yet eagle-eyed fans noticed that, as well as not looking a lot like the original, he was also missing the scar on his cheek.

The bad boy acquired the scar back in 2014 after being beaten up so badly by muggers that he was left disfigured.

At the time, it was confirmed that it would be a permanent scar… and die hard fans were quick to spot that it was no longer.

One tweeted: “When they changed Todd did they forget to add his facial scar??? #Corrie.”

While another commented: “Todd’s scar’s cleared up. That’ll be a relief. #Corrie.”

A third wrote: “I Thought Todd had a permanent scar on his cheek from getting assaulted years ago…. Can’t see a scar on the new Todd? #corrie.”

“#Corrie Remember real Todd had a scar on his cheek. #ThatsNotTodd,” another commented.

One joked: “Nice to see Todd’s ‘scar for life’ on his face has healed… #Corrie.”

Another fan pointed out: “Didn’t Todd have a permanent scar on his face? #Corrie.”
