Good news for soaps fans, Coronation Street will resume filming next week, bosses have confirmed - but without kissing scenes or older cast members.
Filming will start again at the show’s studios in Trafford, Greater Manchester, on 9 June, with cast and crew having their temperatures checked on a daily basis.
Coronation Street actor Andrew Whyment, who plays Kirk Sutherland, said “there definitely will be no kissing scenes”.
Cast “who are over the age of 70 or have an underlying health condition won’t be on set in the initial period of filming”, ITV has said.
Those who fall into a clinically vulnerable category will “follow an individual risk assessment process, which will enable them to return to work if it is safe for them to do so”.
Older cast members include William Roache (Ken Barlow), Barbara Knox (Rita Tanner) and Maureen Lipman (Evelyn Plummer).
The number of episodes to air will continue to be fewer than before the pandemic, at three a week initially.

LONDON (Reuters) - Fashion retailer Primark plans to reopen all 153 of its stores in England on June 15 as coronavirus restrictions are eased, encouraged by European stores that have already resumed trading. The faster than expected reopening sent shares in Primark’s owner, Associated British Foods, up as much as 8% in early Monday trading. All Primark stores were closed over 12-days from March 11 as the virus spread, costing it 650 million pounds a month in sales. With governments now easing restrictions, Primark is trading from 112 stores across Europe and the United States, or 34% of total selling space. By June 15, it plans to have 281 stores open, or 79% of selling space, including all stores in England. It hopes to have all of its 378 shops open by late June, including those in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. “Trading in our re-opened stores (including in Germany and Spain) has been both reassuring and encouraging, with customer queues outside most stores,” AB Foods said. But it cautioned cumulative sales since reopening, on a like-for-like basis, were down on the same period last year. |
