ITV Coronation Street viewers left distracted by Sean Tully's 'awful' habit

Coronation Street fans were left distracted earlier this week as Sean Tully headed on a romantic date with newcomer Laurence. The barman and Underworld machinist met the handsome dentist as he helped out Todd Grimshaw at a funeral in scenes aired on the ITV soap.

Laurence was one of the mourners at Mr Pugh's funeral which was saved by George Shuttleworth's sister Glenda after her brother took too many strong painkillers after breaking a tooth on one of Sean's dinners. Both Todd and Sean appeared interested in the newbie but neither made a move.

Later, Sean was left moping around after missing out on his chance to ask Laurence out for a drink. But Glenda jumped into action and suggested Sean pretend to be a patient at Laurence's dental surgery. But Lawrence made the first move as in Wednesday night's trip to the cobbles (August 10), fans saw him appear at the Undertakers.

George soon set him and Sean up on a date at the Bistro but troubled by his recent disaster with Frank, Sean refused to go, claiming he needed to put Dylan first.

Wonder if that was scripted." @CaroleAnn1982 replied: "Vile
