I've tried not to use the internet in any form but your comment about "before Suzie Birchall" was a big clue! Is it Trisha Hopkins who used to share a flat over the Corner Shop with Gail?

It was Kathy Jones who played Tricia - she left Corrie in 1976! Gail's best mate and flatmate. It was because of Tricia that they first introduced Gail into the show. I wouldn't have recognised her if I hadnt been told it was her. I asked her if she keeps in touch with Helen and the others at Corrie and she said she doesn't as they are too busy with the filming schedules.

Congratulations to Barbara and Eileen. And Anne too.

What makes you think that Eileen will turn down her MBE?

I just found this article from 2007

Quote:
Doctor Who producer Phil Collinson is reportedly in the frame for a similar role on Coronation Street.

The Daily Star claims that he is in line to replace the ITV show’s current executive producer Steve Frost in the near future, with bosses currently “grooming” him to take over.

A source told the paper: “Phil Collinson is the big target and everyone is saying how he is virtually certain to get the job… [he] is a big fan of old style Corrie so some of the old big names could be back.”

Collinson has overseen the current production of Doctor Who since the series was revived in 2005. On the third series, which concludes next Saturday, Collinson has had a lighter workload with Susie Liggat stepping in for the ‘Human Nature/The Family of Blood’ two parter.

In the late 1980s, the BBC scheduled Doctor Who directly against Coronation Street for the last two seasons of Sylvester McCoy’s tenure as the Time Lord, with the soap winning comfortably.

I heard there is a big storyline planned for the 50th anniversary, although I haven't heard whether much has been revealed yet.

There are also rumours that Hilda Ogden is retuning for the anniversary - I don't know how true this is.

She hasn't. It's just the fact she's a very private person and I can't see her making a public appearance at the palace but she will.
