Corrie writer profile: Simon Crowther

Sources: IMDB, Shots.net, itv.com

Simon Crowther (or Simon Crowther Jones as he’s sometimes credited) is the husband of current Coronation Street producer, Kim Crowther, pictured here. I bet tea-times in their house are fun. The couple have two young children, Danielle and Jake.

Simon has an MA in Screenwriting, a BA in Film Studies and has worked as a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University.

Simon has written episodes of Hollyoaks as well as Coronation Street and in addition to scriptwriting, he’s also a director. With two of his colleagues from the Street writing team, Damon Rochefort and Chris Fewtrell, Simon Crowther was commissioned to write pilot scripts for two new proposed ITV dramas this year; Stretch and Home Team.

If you can help update this writer’s profile and provide a recent picture, do please let me know.

I must admit I can't tell when it's a "Simon". I can tell when Jonathan Harvey is the writer or Carmel Morgan. What is it about Simon Crowther you enjoy so much?

I remember him being my lecturer in my first year at Sheffield Hallam. Seemed like a good egg, pleased to see he's doing so well.
