A huge fire will rock the Coronation Street set next year – in stunt-filled scenes packed with ‘explosions’ and spectacle. And, as Corrie bosses plan an explosive start to the new year, they have issued nearby residents with a warning. And, with fan favourites in danger, locals will be able to hear the dramatic stunts from miles away.
This comes as new boss Kate Brooks hopes to make her mark on the soap with a bang.
But, with a number of lives hanging in the balance, who will survive and what will be left of them?

‘Explosions’ shatter the street as Coronation Street films epic stunt
A source told The Sun: “New boss Kate Brooks is pulling out all the stops to make her mark on the cobbles – literally in this case. It’s a huge story with dramatic consequences but is focussed on the street and the community.
“There’s going to be a massive spectacle but at the heart it’s a story about the characters and how they cope with what happens – proper old school Corrie storytelling.”
Meanwhile, another source told the Metro: “The early part of the year is going to kick off the new era of Corrie with a bang pretty literally and one of the show’s core families are right at the heart of the fire storyline.
“With a new boss at the helm, the show isn’t pulling any punches and it’s fair to say some fan-favourite lives are on the line.”
But who could be killed in the fire? A happy (or at least not tragic) exit for Gail has been promised. But could the soap renege and send her out in a blaze of glory?
