CORONATION Street has joined forces with the mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence to work on a storyline about racism.

Baroness Doreen Lawrence was consulted by the soap's writers about the plans, which will explore prejudice faced by the Bailey family.

The soap will tell the story of the generational divide about attitudes towards racism in the family and will show how Ed Bailey shrugs off a racist incident, which shocks his sons Michael and James.

The storyline will also explore how the prejudice makes Ed reevaluate his attitudes towards James being gay. Coronation Street producer Ian MacLeod said that it felt like a "really interesting story" to explore the "generational gap" in the family's attitude towards racism.
