Coronation Street fans were left scratching their heads as they noticed a puzzling age mistake on the show. In a recent episode, Tina O’Brien’s character Sarah was preparing for her son Harry’s birthday. However, viewers were quick to point out that the eight-year-old character seemed much younger than his age.
A Cake and Confusion
During the episode, Sarah’s partner Damon decided to surprise Harry with an early birthday cake since he couldn’t attend the party the next day. But what caught fans’ attention was the number eight candle on the cake. According to Harry’s birthdate in the show and the fact that he has been played by twins Freddie and Isaac Rhodes since 2017, he should have been turning eight. However, his behavior and the way other characters interact with him suggest a much younger age.
The Mystery Unraveled
Coronation Street fans took to Reddit to discuss this age discrepancy. Some speculated that the writers may have forgotten how old Harry is, while others pondered if the character’s age was being retconned to make him younger. The confusion prompted fans to question whether Harry would remain forever young or if he would eventually catch up in age.
The Writers’ Oversight
Despite the viewers’ observations, it seems that the discrepancy in Harry’s age is an oversight on the part of the show’s writers. One Reddit user suggested that the writers may suddenly age him up in a couple of years to reconcile the timeline. In the meantime, fans can’t help but compare Harry’s appearance and behavior to other characters on the show, like Miley, who looks older than her age.
The Unchanged Future
Harry, the son of Sarah and Callum Logan, was born in March 2016, making him eight years old in the show. Despite the confusion over his age, fans continue to enjoy his character, eagerly anticipating how the writers will address this blunder in the future.
