One of the Corrie extras is getting A LOT of attention online

A true cultural icon.

We know, we know, hardly a day goes by without eagle-eyed Coronation Street viewers noticing something or other that's wrong with their favourite soap. Whether it's a complete lack of respect for journalism or Roy Cropper's stuntman making a very obvious appearance, you'd have a hard time watching that show and not coming away having witnessed some sort of raging continuity error. This time though, eagle-eyed Corrie viewers have noticed something so incredible and so hilariously funny that it's only gone and racked up an impressive 9,000 retweets on Twitter. ... So you know it's gonna be good.

But first, a bit of context. The other night, Shayne Ward's character was standing by while somebody else gave a statement to the press. It seems like everybody on the cobbles has been doing that as of late, but this time was different... because this time, one of the show's extras made her shining onscreen debut. And it was glorious. https://twitter.com/Tom_Hughes10/status/950474976699838465 In case you can't bring yourself to click play on the above clip, one of the press photographers can be seen clicking away on her camera. Except she's not even hitting the button or looking into the lens and looks like she'd honestly rather be just about anywhere else, to be honest. Iconic. People on Twitter were only delighted by the spot too with user Tom Hughes, who originally shared the clip, saying that the extra should win an Oscar for her stunning role. (We're also assuming Tom already knows that the Oscars are the film awards and not the telly ones, but sure look.) The rest of Twitter responded accordingly.
