Coronation Street<\/a> added a nostalgic throwback in last night’s episode that you may have missed. The Halloween episode saw Sally Metcalfe get a huge fright with an intruder<\/a> breaking in.<\/p>\n

However, before her scary ordeal<\/a>, there was a neat Easter egg with Joanie and Lucy’s costumes referencing way back to 2005.<\/p>\n

Before they headed out for The Rovers’ Halloween party, the pair were seen dressed as goths wearing tops emblazoned with “pure evil” and “drama queen”.<\/p>\n

These were actually the same T-shirts worn by Sally’s daughter Rosie and her then-boyfriend Craig 21 years ago amid their goth phase, which Sally referenced in the new scene.<\/p>\n

“I remember that T-shirt \u2013 Rosie’s boyfriend bought her that,” she remarked.<\/p>\n

Joanie actor Savanna Pennington posted about the costumes on her Instagram<\/a> page, sharing pictures with co-star Anya Dewin (Lucy) and writing: “Tonight\u2019s ep.”<\/p>\n

As mentioned, things took a terrifying turn for Sally later on in the episode when she stayed at home with an unwell Shanice. After seeing a ghostly figure standing outside, she heard a knock at the door before the intruder broke through the window.<\/p>\n

After more scary happenings, including silenced phone calls, the street was plunged into darkness and the intruder appeared again behind her. After smashing a vase over their head, it was revealed that the mystery figure was actually Lucy playing a prank.<\/p>\n

“It was a joke. It’s Halloween! I’m not living with her. She could’ve killed me!” a bloodied Lucy later declared after Tim rushed home. “You’re just like her. You’re just like my mum!”<\/p>\n

The panic came amid fears from Joanie that her dad could’ve escaped from prison after a riot there, as Tim tried to reassure her that they would’ve been contacted if that was the case.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
