Coronation Street

Considering what happened to the Corner Shop after it's refurbishment after the fire, I think they should leave it how it is

good point, the corner shop has a mystery extention to the rear which suddenly appeared but isn't on the outdoor set when we see the Webster's yard?

do set designers have no sence of structual logic in that the internal layout has to fit the external layout, the'll be parking a bus in daryl's shed next and hoping nobody notices.

So the spoilers for tonight inform us Ashley has been staying with Audrey apparantly.


Did we know that? It certainly never got mentioned when David got thrown out and moved in with Audrey too!

Quite possibly the most unrealistic shop set on TV ever. The helfs are wrong, and the products are dumped all over the place. The most realistic and successful shop was Alf Roberts's one in the mid-80s which formed the basis of the shop until the fire.

What happened to all of Dev's other shops, they never get mentioned.

Yep. Audrey asked Ashley to move in with her as he was sleeping on the Websters sofa.




I agree. I liked the set for Alf's shop after the 1985 refurbishment - that was a realistic shop set.

so Ashley stays at Audry's quite happily when it's where is father died

Erm, so ? People still continue to live in houses where there spouses / partners / parents died.

If he can cope with living in the same house where his wife was murdered...

Not to mention the same house Casey set fire to with Claire and Baby Freddie asleep there!

Surely somebody has been murdered (or at least died) in every single house on the Street.

probably true if you look at the whole history from 1902

here's who I can remember dieing in the actual houses / premises on the street

maxine at the peacocks (4), and of course baby shannon from cot death
(and possibly bella because she hasn't been fed since maxine died)

alf roberts died in the Platts (

wiki's Polish friend died in the factory

tommy Harris died in Kevin's car garage

Ernest Bishop died in the old factory during a raid

somebody died in the fire in baldwins casuals in 1975

Val Barlow died in the massonettes

Ena's niece died in the vestry of the glad tidings mission hall (where the kabin is now)

the corner shop had a new owner in 1993 who died in the shop

may hardman died in number 13 in 1960

somebody was murded in number 9 when Len lived there.

Albert Tatlock died in number 1, I think.

Martha Longhurst died in the rovers in 1964 as did ray langton 31 years later

that is all I can think of for now. (it's enough isn't it)

just seen a preview of the new owners of the bookies and the set is on the outside lot

Ah yes, the bookies. What's the "betting" the new boss won't simply be Jim Fenner by another name?
