He says: “The show is moving to Salford Quays next year. That’s a very big move for us. I’ll see that through as producer. So that takes me into the middle of next year. I can’t see beyond that at the moment. I’m happy to be creatively leading the show and still think I’ve got more stories to tell.”
He responds to criticism that the show, rightly, received last summer and says: “We took a good hard look at what we were doing. Perhaps we were too crime heavy. But, ultimately, you’ve got to trust your instincts and the instincts of the people around you.”
He also talks about Betty Williams' send off on Corrie and speaking at a public event next week about Corrie's use of the Carla Connor rape storyline. Find out more about that here.

What do you reckon? Is it time for Phil Collinson to go and let a new producer take control?
