We know Corrie producer Kim Crowther has announced that she's leaving and Phil Collinson is going to replace her. Digital Spy has a series of in depth interviews with Ms. Crowther. The first is here and there's a link to a second part. Over here, she talks about some more storyline spoilers. She mentions the 50th anniversary and that ongoing plans still haven't nailed down a "big event" type of storyline to climax in December for the anniversary. Kim will be finished her involvement at the end of March and is looking forward to spending more time with her two small children.
A few storyline spoilers: Tony Gordon is coming back (trial??) and it may have something to do with Maria's return. On the return of Tracy Barlow, she says, in part "We have a story to get her out and we've researched it so it's perfectly legitimate". Seems like it could be one of those "technicality" things! She also defends the Molvin storyline, saying "It's a little slice of real life" where "it happens up and down the country - people copping off with each other's husbands and partners".
It seems that rumour of Sophie coming out as a lesbian may be true. This will be played out later in the spring and looks to be kept a secret from her family (but you know when it comes out, it'll be quite a shock for both snobby Sally and conservative Kevin!) There are lots more storyline spoilers so do check it out!
