The Manchester Evening News made a Coronation Street cameo in Sunday night's hour-long episode as Laura Neelan read our article about the soap.

On Sunday night Laura was seen lying on the settee with some reading material, and eagle-eyed fans spotted she had open a story from the M.E.N about the long-running soap.
Fans clocked that the article, from April 2018, was about a heartfelt open letter written to the show’s producer Iain MacLeod as he took over from Kate Oates who had been at the helm for two years.
Viewer Karen Selfridge took to the M.E.N. Coronation Street Facebook page expressing her wishes for his tenure, calling on Iain to bring wit to the world’s longest running soap while giving lifelong fans an insight into 'residents' heads, not their bedrooms.'
Karen also called for 'more substance of character and less sensationalism for ratings.'
And she pleaded for 'fewer scenes of drug addicts shooting up in church', referring to vicar Billy Mayhew taking heroin slumped next to the pews in February 2018 which prompted complaints to Ofcom.
Four years on, in other scenes screened on Sunday, viewers complained as relapsed addict Abi Franklin was seen high on drugs with her drug dealer who snorted a substance at 13 Coronation Street.
The Talk of the Street podcast tweeted a screenshot of Laura with the article.
