It’ll be interesting if there is any extra product placement as well as the shop front - you had characters walking around with empty Costa coffee cups, and then everyone suddenly had an EE router on the sideboard in the back of shot. Now presumably everyone will have holiday brochures on the coffee table?

Someone who has been on the Corrie tour in the last few days said the Rovers and Trim Up North both up for sale.

They successfully stop the developers moving in then, but I assume the old staff can't afford to buy the pub? Which means we can expect a new landlord.

ASHLEY! Got some sad news ... I SAY, SAD NEWS!

Sort of related footnote:
He also had a brief role in Doctor Who, in the classic era, during "The Visitation", a serial featuring The 5th Doctor, when the Sonic Screwdriver was destroyed.

Not forgetting his role as the original King in the Blackadder pilot.
He also replaced Rudolph Walker as the invigilator in the re-shot version of the Mr Bean exam skit, filmed as a supporting feature for 20th Century Fox cinema releases.

He was in an episode of the first series of The Bill as well- as a foreign video shop owner, bizarre seeing him with that accent.

That bizarre split screen phone call between Adam and Harvey in tonight's episode, I don't think Corrie's ever done anything like that before.

They got round to the
'In Memory of John Savident' tribute caption before the end credits tonight.
He was a great character actor, and certainly made the role of Fred Elliot all his own.
