An unearthed clip from an old episode of the ITV soap saw Carla talking to her bestie Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) in the café while enjoying a cuppa.
In the scene, Carla got out her mobile phone to text her brother Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward).
However, the way she text on her phone had fans in stitches.
The actress slammed her thumbs on the screen so rapidly that it did not resemble texting or forming any sort of message.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one eagle-eyed fan joked: “the message she sent: sjsjsjsjssjsjkk”.
Another added: “Ha that’s how my wee ones at work (under 5yrs) think texting looks like!”
A third penned: “This texting Ali pls”.
Meanwhile, during a more recent episode of Coronation Street, it seemed that actress Sally Carmen-Duttine appeared to forget she was in character as Abi Webster.
The awkward blunder saw the character refer to their co-star by their real name.
The embarrassing error appeared to slip through the net with bosses not catching the pesky mishap before it went to broadcast.
Awkward moment Coronation Street character calls co-star by their real name in onscreen blunder – did you spot it?
In the scene, Abi propped up the bar at the Rovers and collected some drinks whilst at Christina Boyd’s Bingo night.
But, Abi accidentally called Jenny Bradley by the wrong name.
Having paid for her drinks, Abi could be heard saying: “Cheers Sal.”
Rather than calling her Jenny, she appeared to confuse reality and fiction and called Jenny actress Sally Ann Matthews by her real name.
Soaps are renowned for their sweet and scandalous romances – but it’s not just in scripted storylines where love is blossoming. A number of our favourite small-screen actors have fallen for co-stars and soapland rivals when the cameras have stopped rolling.
The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment appeared to slip by soap chiefs who kept the blunder in.
One fan who spotted the moment even suggested that actress Sally Ann smirked when she realised she’d been addressed by her own name.
The viewer wrote on X: “That’s too funny! And it looks like Sally (Jenny) genuinely smiled like she caught it.”
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
