Coronation Street viewers were left scratching their heads last night after the soap made an unexpected music change that hasn’t exactly struck the right note.
During Wednesday night’s episode (January 21), Corrie rounded things off with a song playing over a montage of scenes – a move that longtime fans aren’t used to seeing on the cobbles. And judging by the reaction online, many weren’t impressed.

Coronation Street experiment with music at end of episode
The closing moments of the episode saw the Driscoll family sitting down together for a surprisingly calm dinner. Yes, calm – a rare sight given recent events.
With Ben’s health worsening, Maggie Driscoll and Eva Price made the shock decision to put their bitter feud on hold and call a truce for his sake. As the family raised a glass to the moment, music began to play over the scene – Hey Now by London Grammar.
The song continued as the episode cut to a devastated Kevin, before moving on to Carla at home comforting a drunk Lisa. As Lisa drifted off to sleep, Carla admitted she still loved her, revealing that Lisa’s public show of affection at the Chariot Square Hotel had reminded her of what first drew her to her. The episode then faded out.
