Coronation Street

I got a screenshot of it. The set looks a lot more convincing and lot less comfy than the old cab office, still has that homely feel though.

Confirmed on Digital Spy a very slight tweak to the opening titles from Monday.

The update to the opening sequence is only minor but reflects the changes to the famous street since the current titles were introduced in mid-2010.

Eagle-eyed fans have often pointed out that the current titles feature two outdated shots as they show the old-style Corner Shop and don't include Nick's Bistro.

The new titles remove these shots and replace them with two new ones - showing the Bistro as well as the updated exterior to the Rovers Return, which was brought in after last year's fire.

Viewers will see the new titles, which are otherwise unchanged, for the first time on Monday (March 10).

Glad they're taking the opportunity to update them, would seem strange for them to keep showing the old set (not to mention the outdated buildings).

Can't wait to see them!

I don't think the normal viewer will notice a difference

That article answers a year long question; was the new set supposed to air after the Rovers Fire? I wonder how it would have panned out had they kept the pub in complete ruins until the new set and re-opened with a special episode tomorrow?

I suppose with the way Britain is today and people not having much money it could have been realistic for no money to re-build the pub and then Steve and Liz bailed Stella out or something like that. They did touch on that with Owen bailing her out.

If think the new outside set was supposed to appear almost immediately after the Rovers fire...

That is what I was thinking and the Digital Spy article says the new part after the fire; a shame all didn't go to plan but we can forget that now and look forward to a new-look Coronation Street from tomorrow.

This is soap land though where a burnt down pub can be rebuilt in a matter of weeks rather than everyone sit at home everynight watching the soaps.

I was just looking at this picture, and I couldnt help noticing that the old Rosamund Street facade seems to have been replaced by a new street

I think that might just be the wall which has the picture of Rosamund Street plastered on it, could be wrong though - it did look ridiculous at the old set, so much so that recently they parked a large Newton & Ridley van so that you couldn't see down the street.

Was thinking what they would do about that. It does look like a fake row of houses.
