There's was non-story in a recent Daily Star that quotes "a cast member" and "a Corrie source" saying that cast are fearing new producer Stuart Blackburn coming in next year in case he wants to sack a load of them.
I hope he does.
The Star quotes one cast member saying: “There’s three groups of stars on Corrie – the untouchables like Barbara Knox, Bill Roache and Eileen Derbyshire, the long-term contractors and sexy ones like Kym Marsh and Michelle Keegan. And then there’s the rest of us. Most people are either on six-month contracts or one-year contracts, so we all know any of us could be on our way out the door within weeks of him arriving. Whenever a new producer starts you get called into their office to meet them and discuss your character – if you get called in for a second time it’s not good news!”
The source added: “There’s a lot of worried people here and agents are all trying to get their stars longer contracts before he starts."
I suspect this story is a load of piffle to be honest but let's go with its theme. If you were Stuart Blackburn, coming in as new producer to Coronation Street and wanting to make a mark on the show - who would you sack? Top of my hit list would be St Ella.
