Coronation Street Spoilers – COVID-19 Suspends Production

As previously reported, the ITV soap suspended production due to the coronavirus pandemic. To extend the amount of time that new episodes air, the soap cut down on the number of times the show is broadcasted each week. Other soaps performed similar actions, both in the UK and the USA. There is no telling when production will resume, so those in charge need to get creative.

“During these difficult times, ITV bosses thought, ‘What better to lift the spirits than some of the most memorable moments in Corrie history?’ It also gives them the chance to celebrate their many stars, including Ken Barlow – the longest-running soap star in the world.”
