Coronation Street

I thought the scenes looked as though they were filmed in a studio. Furthermore, can you imagine the H&S nightmare of trying to film on an actual building site? Perhaps that would be too disruptive.

the inside of the pub on the outdoor set isn't a building site

I would've thought the entire outdoor set is classed as a building site at the moment.

With the greatest respect, I'm not really sure what stevek2 is going on about.

The "new look" Rovers Return has been officially revealed on ITV.com

Bit of a joke really, the new pub opens on May 26th... It's the 16th now, and in 10 days time it's going to go from a shell of a building to fully refitted...??? Stella has not even got the money yet to pay for it?

neither am I

I mean the outdoor set on quay street not the new one they are building

the corry terrace is one big long building, the rovers part of this could be used as the empty shell of the pub before it's renovated as it's just empty inside

as for the new look rovers funny how bettys photo survived

It is indeed, but remember it has partial sets built within it (staircase/hallway) for when scenes are filmed from outside with the characters at an open front door.

Furthermore, the interior of the Quay Street Rovers 'exterior set' probably wouldn't look right, as the windows are too narrow and placed too close together.

Glad they got rid of the silly "Landlady" title on Betty's picture

I read a synopsis saying that she was going to ask Leanne - who just got some money from Carla and Rob buying her share of the bookies.

Already happened and Leanne said only if she dumps Karl. Yet, her mother has come into some money from her dead ex and this story is still ongoing.

Ok so tonight Stella has got the money together, but eh... Just over a week to get a shell fully fitted out with a bar and living accommodation... They need to live in the real world!
