The COVID-19 outbreak has sparked inspiration for Coronation Street bosses. Soap bosses have started rewriting explosive storylines to reflect difficult circumstances people have faced in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Corrie star Colson Smith, who shot to fame playing Craig Tinker on the cobbles, shared what was going on behind the scenes in his chat on Lorraine on Friday.
The soap star said he was itching to get back to working on the new scripts being penned by the TV bosses. As a police officer in the soap, Colson would be playing a major role as a key worker in the pandemic-themed storylines set to take TV by storm.
