Explosive drama on the cobbles
Coronation Street is in for a fiery shock next year as a huge house fire and explosion are set to shake things up. The soap will be filming the dramatic stunt this week, with details being kept tightly under wraps.
Heart-pounding storyline
According to a source, the new boss Kate Brooks is pulling out all the stops to make her mark on the cobbles with this major event. The storyline is said to have dramatic consequences, focusing on the street and the community, while delving into how the characters cope with the aftermath.
Warning to local residents
Soap bosses have gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of local residents near the Manchester set where the explosions will take place. Neighbours in Salford Quays received warnings about loud explosions and fire effects being used during the filming, with precautions in place to manage smoke and flames that may be visible to the public.
