Production[]

Recording during lockdown[]

Kevin debbie fridge

Michael Le Vell and Sue Devaney bubbled up to record scenes where Kevin and Debbie Webster were left for dead in the Viaduct Bistro's fridge

Iain MacLeod stayed on for a third year as producer, with Verity MacLeod as assistant producer.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Coronation Street employed a cohort system where each filming block took place entirely in Studios 1 and 2, Studios 3 and 4, Studios 5 and 6, or on the outdoor set at the MediaCity studios, with each having its own director and crew [1]. This was designed to limit the spread of the virus as much as possible, with the actors being the only ones moving between the cohorts. Other measures implemented in 2020 when filmed resumed including the use of face coverings, a one-way system at the studios with two-metre social distancing rules on site, frequent sanitisation of sets and props, restricted usage of guest actors and background artists, cast members doing their own hair and make-up, and office staff working from home, continued for the rest of the year.

On 4th January, amid rising case numbers Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a third national lockdown in England, which came into effect the following day [2]. Restrictions were relaxed in stages as positive cases fell, with the final set of regulations on indoor gatherings and hospitality expiring on 18th July. Coronation Street's existing COVID-19 safety protocols allowed it to continue filmnig in accordance with the BFC's guidelines for film and TV drama productions [3] [4]. As with the previous lockdown, some members of the cast were absent throughout, especially those aged 70+ and those classed as "at risk" due to underlying health conditions. Filming was paused for two weeks from Monday 25th January for scripts to be rewritten to incorporate the latest restrictions, although the lockdown itself was wouldn't take place within the world of Coronation Street, with characters going about their business as normal [5].

The practice of having cast and crew "bubble up" - self-isolating before filming, and testing regularly throughout shooting - became more widely used to allow characters to interact without social distancing. Michael Le Vell and Sue Devaney did so for scenes in which Kevin and Debbie Webster were locked inside the Viaduct Bistro's walk-in fridge by Ray Crosby [6], as did Nathan Graham and Dylan Brady when James Bailey came out publicly and kissed his boyfriend Danny Tomlinson. Their usage peaked with "Super Soap Week" in October, when over 70 cast and crew bubbles were employed [7].

Other measures used to circumvent COVID-19 limitations include using a combination of body doubles and splicing together footage for Tyrone Dobbs and Alina Pop's first kiss [8], Harry Visinoni's girlfriend Ellie Isaacs acting as a hand double for Seb Franklin's girlfriend Nina Lucas [9], Charlotte Jordan's boyfriend acting as knee double for Daisy Midgeley's boyfriend Ryan Connor [10], and Aggie Bailey and Izzy Armstrong appearing in video calls while actors Lorna Laidlaw and Cherylee Houston shielded at home. Due to her Ehler-Danlos syndrome, Houston was in the most vulnerable category, ruling out a return to the studio until 2022 when case numbers had dropped significantly [11]. For a storyline exploring Izzy's anxiety while self-isolating, scenes were recorded inside Houston's real-life home, with her partner Toby Hadoke portraying Izzy's neighbour Fergus Dunford. Filming equipment was sent by the Coronation Street team for the actors to shoot the scenes themselves, without the need for a camera crew [12].

Emerging from the pandemic[]

Episode 10354 on 20th June was the last episode in which characters were regularly seen wearing face masks. This followed the announcement on 21st February that the rules on face coverings in England would be scrapped on 21st June, which was far enough in advance for Coronation Street to reflect the change in real time. Ultimately, the date would be pushed back by four weeks due to rising case numbers, so the programme did not match reality in this regard [13]. Mask-wearing would still be seen occasionally, particularly in hospital and police station scenes, or those shot on location. The cohort system remained in place until Episode 10571, transmitted on 23rd February the following year.

Queen visit 2021

Queen Elizabeth II made her second visit to Coronation Street in 2021

As restrictions were eased, actors returned to filming, with most back at work by the end of the year. William Roache was off for six months after testing positive for the virus, but made a full recovery [14]. Maureen Lipman took time out until she received her first vaccination, with Evelyn Plummer returning to screens in May [15]. Sue Nicholls was absent during the same period following the death of her husband, actor Mark Eden, on 1st January [16]. Lisa George's diabetes meant that Beth Sutherland was absent until July [17], while in the same month, shielding actor Liam Bairstow appeared as Alex Warner for the first time in a year.

The under-16s, requiring chaperones on set, continued to be used sparingly in order to keep the number of people in the studio to a minimum. Charlotte and James Holt and Arthur, Lily and Lucy Taylor, playing quads Bryn, Carys and Llio Winter-Brown, sat out the year entirely, but the other children in the cast made at least one appearance each, with Bobby Bradshaw playing Jake Windass for the first time since 2019. Two younger characters returned with a new head; Joseph Woods took over the part of Aled Winter-Brown in June, while Paddy Bever debuted as Max Turner in September. The latter role was recast from Harry McDermott as producers decided to take the character in a more mature direction [18]. Eleanor Beckles, the youngest member of the cast, played Michael Bailey and Grace Vickers's newborn daughter Glory Bailey from August onwards. Glory went unseen for two months after her birth in March, and was played once by Kamiyah Brown before Beckles took over the role.

HRH Queen Elizabeth II visited the Coronation Street studios during a trip to Manchester on 8th July. Her Majesty last toured the set at Quay Street in 1982, and this visit was intended to tie in with the programme's 60th anniversary [19]. The Queen arrived at the studios and was met by Sir Peter Bazelgette, the chairman of ITV, and John Whiston, the managing director of Continuing Drama. On a 40-minute tour of the set and studios, the head of state was introduced to the four senior members of the cast - William Roache, Barbara Knox, Helen Worth and Sue Nicholls - outside the Rovers Return, before being escorted down the street and into the Rovers bar set in Studio 1, meeting more cast and crew along thw way [20]. Before moving on to her next destination at Manchester Cathedral, the Queen was presented with a “Corrie Cobble” from the Quay Street set, specially engraved by a local stonemason, and some Newton & Ridley beer mats. After the visit, Whiston commented that the event had been a morale booster for the cast and crew after navigating a difficult 18 months [21].

Hate crime and County Lines storylines[]

In September 2020, Iain MacLeod teased a hard-hitting issue-based storyline focusing on the show's teen characters [22]. The plot was based on the Sophie Lancaster murder case from 2007, where a 20-year-old woman was violently assaulted due to her goth attire and later died from her injuries. Writers and actors consulted with the Sophie Lancaster Foundation while crafting a storyline which echoed the real-world events [23]. In May, Coronation Street's resident goth Nina Lucas and her boyfriend Seb Franklin were set upon in an unprovoked attack, with Seb later dying in hospital. Seb being killed off was proposed to actor Harry Visinoni by Iain MacLeod the previous year in a meeting about his character's future. Visinoni didn't have any concrete plans to leave, but considered it a good way to bow out [24].

2021 teens

The main players of the teen storyline: Kelly Neelan, Corey Brent, Asha Alahan, Summer Spellman, Nina Lucas, Seb Franklin, and Amy Barlow

The groundwork for the storyline was laid in February when Asha Alahan, exploring her sexuality, began a relationship with Nina, bruising the ego of her ex-boyfriend Corey Brent. When Nina broke it off with Asha, Asha started going out with Corey again. Corey was the main instigator of the attack on Nina and Seb, with Kelly Neelan, Eli Higginson and Jay Dowling as accessories. All four were arrested and charged, with the trial airing in August. As the episodes were recorded during lockdown, the attack itself wasn't shown, with the episode cutting from Seb being pushed over to the culprits fleeing the scene. The missing segments were recorded months later and aired as flashbacks as Nina regained her memories of the incident.

The court scenes, shot at the old magistrates' court in Le Mans Crescent, Bolton, were the first piece of location filming since March 2020 which wasn't in close proximity to the studios [25]. Sally Carman, playing Abi Franklin, recorded her segments a month after the rest of the cast as she was ill with COVID-19 during the trial shoot [26]. In a plot twist, the trial ended in Corey being acquitted and Kelly being sentenced to life imprisonment. Initially antagonistic, Kelly was developed into a more sympathetic character, with Corey clearly established as the villain of the story.

Another storyline which ran through the early months of the year was the County Lines plot, in which Simon Barlow was coerced into trafficking drugs for kingpin Harvey Gaskell, played by Will Mellor. Jack James Ryan joined the cast as Jacob Hay, a fellow drug runner who terrorised Simon and Leanne Battersby. Jacob was brought back and reformed later in the year. Sharon Bentley, Rita Tanner's former foster daughter, returned in February, 22 years after she last appeared. Producers had been trying to get Tracie Bennett back for a while, but the return was delayed by the pandemic and the actress's busy schedule [27]. This was the first time that Sharon shared the screen with Rita's other foster daughter, Jenny Connor. The plot was eventually folded into the County Lines storyline, with Sharon being revealed as Harvey's aunt. The truth was exposed during Britain's Got Talent Week, which made a return after being cancelled by the pandemic in 2020. Sharon left the street in June, taking over Harvey's drug empire after helping to put her nephew in prison.

The Corey and Harvey storylines dovetailed in ITV's "Super Soap Week" in October, a week of highly-impact episodes where both Coronation Street and Emmerdale aired multiple stunts [28]. The week featured a sinkhole disaster, which was originally planned for the 60th anniversary but producers postponed it rather than produce a compromised version of the story under strict social distancing rules [29]. The sinkhole in 8 Coronation Street's garden, left over from the Ray Crosby storyline, expanded causing manholes to appear all over the street in stormy weather during the Viaduct Bistro's "Horror Nation Street" Halloween carnival in Brewery Lane.

The week began with Dev Alahan's car hitting an out-of-control prison van on a country road, with the shopkeeper having to choose which of his trapped children to save from the wreckage. The van had been hijacked by Harvey in an escape attempt which ended with the drug lord walking free. Abi, failed by the justice system, secured a handgun in order to take revenge on Corey, but would ultimately spare the lad's life while trapped in a sewer with him, throwing the gun away. Harvey picked up the weapon and used it to shoot Natasha Blakeman, mistaking her for Leanne, before Leanne rammed her vehicle into a skip with Harvey inside. Natasha died in hospital the following week, concluding Rachel Leskovac's return storyline [30]. Natasha's son Sam remained in the show, now living with his father Nick Tilsley. Meanwhile, Johnny Connor, venturing into a sewer to rescue his estranged wife Jenny as the water levels rose, drowned in the attempt. Richard Hawley had asked to be written out of the show after playing Johnny for six years, citing the difficulties of commuting to Manchester from Brighton, and feeling that the character had run its course [31]. The underground scenes were shot at Space Studios in Vaughan Street, Manchester, using sets suspended in swimming pools. Five tanker loads of water were used for filming across the six episodes [32].

In the aftermath of the climactic week, newly recovered evidence from Seb's murder helped put Corey in prison, and Kelly was released on bail. The episodes following depicted Kelly's struggles to re-assimilate into street life, with the residents still blaming her for Seb's death. Stu Carpenter, the homeless man who found Corey's rucksack, helped Kelly survive on the streets until she was forgiven by Nina and taken in by Gary Windass and Maria Connor. Stu also became a regular fixture, becoming the next man in Yasmeen Metcalfe's life after her ordeal with Geoff.

Other cast changes[]

The main anniversary storyline of Ray Crosby buying up the street continued in the New Year. Ray got as far as evicting the tenants from the houses on the south side of the street before he was revealed to have bribed the chairperson of the planning committee, scuppering his new hotel development. Ray was arrested for trying to kill Debbie and Kevin by locking them in the bistro's fridge, and exited the programme. Faye Windass, who clobbered Adam Barlow after mistaking him for Ray, was sentenced to three years in prison for GBH, but was released after seven months when Ray confessed to trying to rape her. Ellie Leach hadn't asked for time off, and was surprised to be written out of the show while Faye was in prison [33].

Alina tyrone portrait

Alina Pop leaves the street after an affair with Tyrone Dobbs

By the end of the storyline, Ray had signed his properties and businesses over to Debbie, including the Viaduct Bistro and Chariot Square Hotel. The buildings in Coronation Street were sold back to their owners, except for Audrey's salon which remained empty, and the flat above which was sold to Tyrone Dobbs. Tyrone was in the midst of a storyline where he left Fiz for the much younger Alina Pop. He announced his decision to his longtime partner in an eight-minute two-hander scene. Tyrone was eventually dumped by Alina, who returned to Romania carrying his child, though he was unaware of the latter fact. Ruxandra Porojnicu had quit the show after playing Alina for two years [34]. Tyrone's attempts to reconcile with Fiz were stymied by Fiz's new relationship with divorcee Phill Whittaker, with actor Jamie Kenna joining the programme in July.

The Bailey family's ranks grew with the addition of Ronnie, Ed's flash brother played by Vinta Morgan. A storyline where Ronnie confessed that Michael may be his son after a fling with Aggie was curtailed due to Lorna Laidlaw self-isolating at home [35]. Meanwhile, Grace Vickers left the cobbles after two years in December after an attempt to fleece Ed and Aggie using their granddaughter Glory as a bargaining chip [36].

Short-term additions included Joe Frost as structural engineer Leo Thompkins, a new love interest for Jenny, and Sam Retford as Curtis Delamere, a medical student and boyfriend of Emma Brooker's who suffered from Factitious disorder. Qasim Akhtar returned after a three-year absence as Zeedan Nazir, running from his wife Marrium, while Ian Bartholomew reprised the role of the late Geoff Metcalfe in a vision of Yasmeen's.

The Weatherfield Council Advice Centre in Victoria Street was bought over by George Shuttleworth and became Shuttleworth's Independent Funeral Services, with Todd Grimshaw gaining employment as a junior undertaker. One of the first funerals conducted was for Ted Page, father of Gail Rodwell who received an off-screen death eleven years after Michael Byrne's last appearance as the character. Norris Cole was also killed off, eight months after actor Malcolm Hebden publicly announced his retirement. Hebden, who was last on set before lockdown in 2020, said that following his heart attack in 2017 he was no longer up to the rigeurs of filming [37]. Producers had initially said that they would keep Norris alive at Stillwaters, before changing course and having Norris suffer a fatal stroke [38]. Rula Lenska, as Claudia Colby, made a brief return for the funeral [39], as did Ali Briggs as Norris's fiancée Freda Burgess, who also appeared in a storyline advising Gemma Winter and Chesney Brown over their son Aled's deafness. The latter plot contained a scene conducted entirely in British Sign Language [40].

The next sixty years[]

For the first time, episodes of Coronation Street premiered online. During the Euro 2020 football tournament (delayed a year by the pandemic), ITV experimented by releasing each week's episodes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale on their ITV Hub streaming service on Monday mornings, allowing viewers to choose when to watch. This was done in anticipation of the soaps being moved from their regular slots to make way for football. For the duration of the tournament, Coronation Street continued to air as normal on ITV, and the programme's social media accounts did not post spoilers until after transmission [41]. The pattern was repeated in December with the Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day episodes [42].

The EE Phone Shop replaced Costa Coffee in Victoria Street due to a new product placement deal. The shop front was changed over the course of several months, as a real shop would be [43].

In November, the programme participated in a loose crossover with other UK soaps. Conceived by Emmerdale executive producer Jane Hudson, the crossover saw each of the featured soaps reference their competitors, all on an environmental theme, to publicise the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference ("COP 26") which was taking place in Glasgow that week. In Coronation Street's contribution to the proceedings, a viral video of Maria Connor ranting at Tracy McDonald for not caring about the environment, from Episode 10471, appeared in the following evening's edition of EastEnders, while an article about Maria's campaign was shown during an episode of Channel 4's Hollyoaks. The programme also referenced the changing environmental practices at Holby City and showed a viral video of Emmerdale characters promoting growing their own community vegetables.

The final episode of the year, 10524, was the last one to receive an individual repeat on ITV2. The channel would show omnibuses only thereafter.
