The Rovers Return in Coronation Street is currently boarded up, having originally closed to undergo some renovations to the pub.
However, now, it seems as though the pub will be transformed into flats as development plans are sparked.
Corrie fans have now noted that the pub isn’t big enough for this to happen though, confused about the ideas.
Coronation Street: The Rovers’ future is at risk
A couple of months ago, the Rovers closed after Jenny sold the pub. Waterford’s then boarded it up to start work on some renovations.
Jenny and the rest of the pub’s staff lost their jobs immediately, devastated by the news. They’d previously been told by Newton and Ridley that they would keep their jobs.
However, it now seems like these renovations will no longer take place as Ed and Ronnie prepare to help turn the landmark pub into a block of flats.
Debbie warned the brothers that everybody on the Street would go against them over the development. But, will the pub really turn into flats?
Coronation Street fans all say the same thing about pub
Coronation Street fans can’t believe that Ed and Ronnie are planning on turning the Rovers into flats.
They’ve noted that the space that the pub occupies isn’t very big and won’t fit many flats in at all.
One fan commented: “Unless one flat is going to be in the cellar they’ll only get two flats – the pub isn’t huge now, is it?”
Unless one flat is going to be in the cellar they’ll only get 2 flats, the pub isnt huge now is it! #Corrie

A second Coronation Street fan said: “Flats at the Rovers? Be about three at a push.”
A third viewer of the soap commented: “Might get two flats out of the Rovers at a push.”
Will the Rovers be turned into flats?
Viewers of Corrie can breathe a sigh of relief because the Rovers is going nowhere and will reopen on New Years Eve.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media recently, Coronation Street boss Iain Macleod revealed: “It reopens on New Years Eve. But, the interesting thing about it is the circumstances of it becoming open again are all tied up with Stephen’s legacy.
“The reopening of it will be based on this slightly shaky foundation of a criminal act.
As for those renovations, Iain added: “It’s going to reopen looking quite similar but the circumstances of its ownership are going to be much more fraught.”
