Coronation Street has reportedly been the subject of 662 complaints from viewers about recent violent scenes.
The much-loved street has been rocked by evil villain Pat Phelan’s killing spree, which has claimed the lives of Andy Carver and Luke Britton, as well as Vinny Ashford, who Phelan forced Andy to kill.

And because the show airs before the 9pm watershed, the tough scenes have been regarded as too much for some viewers, with reports more than 600 have complained to UK communications regulator, Ofcom.
According to MailOnline, the regulator is assessing a total of 662 complaints made about Phelan and his storylines over the last few months.
But ITV issued a statement back in October, telling Radio Times that Phelan’s dastardly deeds wouldn’t have come as a surprise to loyal viewers.
