One person said: “What?????? I can’t cope without a good cup of tea,” while another joked: “Are you even English?”
A third tweeted: “May God forgive you. You are in a show that is as British as seaside rock, fish and chips, and the proper English cuppa. Come on Miss Fallon, get the kettle on, find a box of Yorkshire Tea and you will never look back!!”
Another said: “You haven’t lived Lucy! Get yourself one at Roy’s cafe,” referring to Corrie character Roy Cropper’s cafe Roy’s Rolls.
