Me - and all but 3 main characters were killed.
Last time I cooked for a Corrie character it was Bill Roache, his wife and daughter Verity - perhaps it's good I moved into admin as a proper job! She died (not on account of my food)

What I want to know is, if Paul was at the Duckworth's 50th, who was cooking at Leanne's restaurant?

Yes, I noticed this as well. It's times like those when it actually looks like a television set on screen rather than a proper street - which shouldn't really be the case.

I agree, they are getting very laps with scenes of the viaduct suddenly ending, they do that when they film outside Michelle's flat and you can see the end of it and the museum building pasing it which makes it impossible for a real viaduct to be there. Why not just own up and say it's a wall with three arches in it.

Has It ever looked like a proper street?. With a shop. post office, factory and modern semi-detached houses down one side it's the most ludicrous unrealistic looking "backstreet" I've ever seen.

you should look at the eastender set, it's just one big cul-de-sac
quite why they could not just show the studio building behind the terrace rather than those silly sheets they used to block it with, before they stuck a fake viaduct in and an even faker row of house rears next to the fake viaduct.
is it me or does the street look very small and very tatty when viewed for the museum

I was in the museum yesterday. I think the set looks great from the museum windows. It does look a bit small but its supposed to be a backstreet in Manchester so its bound to be a bit tatty. Noticed the sign up that you mentioned before Steve, saying not to take photos for copyright reasons or something. Didnt stop a lot of people from doing so though!
While in the museum I saw Deirdre, Roy, Sinbad/Jerry, Kirk and Fizz all walking across the set towards the kebab shop/cafe end of the street.
Whilst in Manchester I had autographs from 14 Corrie stars -Wendi Peters (Cilla), Jack P Shephard (David), Antony Cotton (Sean), Alison King (Carla) , Sally Whittaker (Sally)
, Helen Flanagan (Rosie) , Craig Charles (Lloyd), Ben Thompson (Ryan), Beverly Callard (Liz) , Samia Smith (Maria), Jennie McAlpine (Fizz), Rob James Collier (Liam) , David Neilson (Roy) and Tina O Brien (Sarah). I also got photos with Sally, Carla, David and Liam. Was particularly happy to get Sally Whittaker as ive been a fan of hers and her character for a long time. Beverly Callard, Wendi Peters, Samia Smith and Tina O Brien were also really lovely too.

Don't know what sort of town you live in or have visited, but here in Birmingham - and in other larger towns and cities - there are many areas with a wide mix of uses in the street - Weatherfield is a very typical Victorian jumbled neighbourhood. In that sense, I think the Street is quite realistic (although maybe the corner shop/Kabin would've merged a long time ago...).
In my street, at the top there's a flower shop, cafe, betting shop and a warehouse. Then there's a fairly modern sheltered housing scheme with a community hall. The late Victorian houses then start - with a small corner shop in the middle. On one side of the street there's a row of modern houses where a warehouse used to stand. Round one corner there's a Gospel Church, the other corner a firelplace showroom and a nursery...
There's nothing unrealistic about the mix of uses and building types on Coronation Street. Did you do any urban geography at school?
The most unrealsitc soap set ever had to be the Brookside petrol station - at the end of a cul-de-sac. So much passing trade - amazing it survived...
