Coronation Street fans have demanded Gemma Winter-Brown receive an apology as they made the same remarks to her being vindicated on the cobbles.
The barmaid and mum of quads has had a tough time of late after social services stopped her from being able to live with her family and see her children alone.
Gemma had been convinced that her stepson Joseph was really ill after his complaints but her own mental health was questioned when doctors couldn't seem to see anything wrong with the schoolboy.
When Josephe complained of feeling unwell again, she was sceptical, due to being accused of overreacting the last time. However, in scenes aired back in November, when Chesney was called out of work to pick him up from school, he berated Gemma for not realising he was ill.
