This isn't a mistake - the actress, Cherylee Houston, has Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, which means she has to use a wheelchair as it limits her mobility. I don't think anything to the contrary has ever been suggested about the character, Izzy, in Corrie.
Disabled characters have briefly figured in Coronation Street in the past.
Ryan Connor's friend Phil was played by wheelchair user Richard Sargent, and Emily's niece Freda is played by deaf actress Ali Briggs.
But Cherylee, who has signed up for an initial six-month stint, is the first actress with a disability to become a regular face.
She has previously appeared in Holby City, The Bill, Little Britain, A Thing Called Love and Emmerdale.
