This week, the ITV soap has faced further disruption as a result of coverage of the Euros sporting tournament.
It has meant that as in previous weeks, it has been moved out of its regular timeslots in order to air where possible on the ITV schedule.
The latest episode found itself airing in the 9pm post-watershed timeslot in an unusual move.
It saw the writes of the show opt to be more daring when it came to the language used by some of the residents.
In particular, Amy Barlow opted to use a coarse word when sounding off about Tracy.
During a conversation with Leanne, she said: “Do you remember me telling you that my mum was meant to be coming over for this stupid unveiling of her boyfriend’s head?
“Turns out she can’t even be bothered coming which wouldn’t be bad but her and Mary were supposed to be having a meeting with the accountants to sort out the shop.
“Now she has left it to me to sort it!
“And it’s not because she thinks I am capable or be good at it, it is because she can’t be ar**d!”
Leanne butted in to calm Amy down as she got increasingly irate.

The moment left some viewers open-mouthed who were surprised to hear the language leave the waitresses mouth.
In shock, one fan shared a laughing emoji as they penned: “The language on #Corrie.”
Another was left gobsmacked the show had been pushed back to broadcast the word as they wrote: “The fact they moved Coronation Street to 9pm because Amy said the words “can’t be a**ed” in tonight’s episode.”
A third penned: “So *that* was why #CoronationStreet started at nine o’clock. Amy Barlow, wash your mouth out.”
As a fourth asked in shock: “Did Amy Barlow just swear on #Corrie?”
Following on from their conversation, Leanne began to introduce Amy to the teachings of The Institute as a way for her to decompress and de-stress.
However, this caused notable concern for Toyah who was left panicked at the thought of Amy being taken in by Rowan and his cronies.
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let’s break down who’s left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite, portrayed by Peter Ash, was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
