Subject: Coronation Street storylines to portray the Coronavirus pandemic
Written By: Philip Eno on 05/06/20 at 3:15 am
Coronation Street characters will be seen dealing with life during the coronavirus pandemic in storylines when filming resumes, its producer has said. But the crisis won't "dominate every single story", Iain MacLeod promised. The ITV soap has suspended filming and is making plans to return when real-life restrictions start to be lifted. MacLeod said he decided the virus "has to exist in our world", but that the issue would be "handled with a light touch". He didn't say whether any characters would catch the virus, but its impact will be seen through things like hand-washing protocols and food outlets switching to takeaways. MacLeod said he and his team had "talked a lot" about whether to bring coronavirus to the cobbles, or whether Weatherfield "would exist in a parallel universe where everything proceeded in a pre-pandemic fashion".
