As part of one of the most watched shows on TV, the cast of Coronation Street have amassed millions of fans who watch the soap day in day out.
But one Corrie star, 38, has hit out at one fan for taking their love for the cast too far - by doing something she called 'completely inappropriate'.
Taking to Twitter to vent her frustration, Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah Battersby in the ITV soap, revealed how she was asked for a selfie as she queued at her doctors' reception.
To make matters worse, the fan even called Georgia 'rude' for declining to take the picture.

Taking to the app on Tuesday morning, Georgia posted: 'Since when was it deemed acceptable to ask for selfies in the doctors reception?
'You have no idea what I'm here for and it's completely inappropriate, but apparently I'M the "rude" one for saying no...'
Clearly frustrated by the encounter, the actress finished her tweet with the eye-roll emoji.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Georgia and is awaiting comment.

Her Corrie co-star Jane Danson, who plays her onscreen sister Leanne Battersby, offered a message of support, writing: 'You are quite possibly the kindest soul Iknow.
'Maybe some people should stop and think how ''rude'' they are? I'll send Leanne round and that will show them rude.'
Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor, also replied to the tweet, saying 'Oh good god! xx'
Fans flooded Georgia's Twitter page with messages of support, with many telling her she was right to refuse the snap.
One tweeted: 'Some people have no idea. You did right, most people (decent people) wouldn’t have asked in the first place xx.'

'Your allowed a private life some people cross the line [sic],' another posted.
A third said: 'No way. How disrespectful and rude of them, how dare they call you rude for saying no! Some people just have no consideration of others. I hope you’re ok lovely.'
