Fans and characters of Coronation Street confused over 'donkey woman'

Coronation Street residents and viewers were confused as a woman from a donkey sanctuary made her debut.

As the Coronation Street residents went about their day in what was a relatively quiet change of pace for the cobbles, Barbara from "the donkey sanctuary" quickly made her presence known. The latest addition to the show appears to have come out of thin air as neither the residents nor viewers know who she is.

Barbara first appears on screen stopping Gary to ask him to adopt a donkey which leaves him visibly confused. Several pleas later from the donkey representative and a few jokes from Gary, the pair go their separate ways but not before he's left gobsmacked at the suddenly bewildering encounter.
