ITV Coronation Street fans stunned as they make rare spot at Gemma and Chesney's

Coronation Street fans were left stunned on Monday night as they made what has become a rare spot.

For weeks viewers of the ITV soap have been questioning the Brown-Winter's as they became the centre of a poverty storyline.

Gemma and Chesney have been struggling to make ends meet with five children and themselves to feed, clothe and keep a roof over their heads.

Last week, the couple were distraught to learn that Joseph was being bullied at school because they can’t afford to buy him a new school jumper, as his has holes in, and new trainers.

The 10-year-old, played by William Flannagan, then went missing after kebab shop worker Chesney stormed off to the school to complain about his son's treatment, despite him promising his son he'd stay quiet.

There was a £30,000 reward put up for his safe return home, all the while cousin Hope was helping him hide in their loft.

Eventually, he returned back to No.5 with Bernie Winter's friend Clint Stubbins who pocketed the money which he ended up sharing with Bernie after she discovered he had only bumped into Joseph and Hope when they were back on the cobbles.

Despite Bernie's lies looking set to unravel as she just begins an 'official' relationship with Dev Alahan, Corrie fans were distracted by the scenes back in No.5.

@CavoloChe tweeted: "Two quads on the sofa! That's twice as many as last week. #Corrie."

"Look! 2 of the lesser spotted quads today!! #Quadwatch #Corrie," @missemmajv echoed.

@aparsons61 said: "Another quad! What’s going on? #corrie."

"Omgggg we’ve seen two of the quads #corrie," @KaeGunz added.

Gemma and Chesney welcomed their four children - Bryn, Cleo, Carys and Aled - towards the end of 2019 while on a trip to Llandudno.

But viewers haven't been seeing much of the children, who are now two-years-old.

When speaking about what's to come for the residents of Weatherfield in 2022, Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod explained why the quads haven't been on-screen.

"I love that family a lot," he told the Manchester Evening News.

"I wish, for many reasons, that there hadn't been a pandemic-related containment of our filming but what that has meant, among other things, is that we haven’t been able to see much of the quads and the children as much as we would have liked.

"And the fact is, we probably still can't see as much of the children as we'd like. But, it felt like we were now able to examine that house a bit more."
