Fans fear Rita may die in the Corrie tram crash

News that Barbara Knox will be giving a live interview on the Paul O'Grady show this coming Friday night has sent Coronation Street blog readers into a spin. I have to admit, I'm worried too.

Barbara Knox rarely gives interviews, never mind live interviews on TV.  And I'm (gulp) starting to wonder if she's doing it because she's leaving Coronation Street and getting killed off in the Corrie tram crash this Christmas.

I know that ITV always say 'no one is bigger than the Street itself' but if my favourite character Rita Sullivan leaves Corrie, the world might just stop spinning for a little while, in our living room at least.
