At the end of 2020, the show will be celebrating its 60th anniversary. However the ‘Hollywood stunt’ which was going to be part of the soap’s milestone, had to be scrapped.

Corrie boss Iain MacLeod revealed it was because they didn’t have time to build and install what they originally planned.

But despite having to adhere to social distancing rules, Iain explained that they are still able to do stunts and they’re currently working on their first post-pandemic car stunt.
