I hope he does.
The Star quotes one cast member saying: “There’s three groups of stars on Corrie – the
untouchables like Barbara Knox, Bill Roache and Eileen Derbyshire, the
long-term contractors and sexy ones like Kym Marsh and Michelle Keegan. And
then there’s the rest of us. Most people are either on six-month
contracts or one-year contracts, so we all know any of us could be on
our way out the door within weeks of him arriving. Whenever
a new producer starts you get called into their office to meet them and
discuss your character – if you get called in for a second time it’s
not good news!”
The
source added: “There’s a lot of worried people here and agents are all
trying to get their stars longer contracts before he starts."
I suspect this story is a load of piffle to be honest but let's go with its theme. If you were Stuart Blackburn, coming in as new producer to Coronation Street and wanting to make a mark on the show - who would you sack? Top of my hit list would be St Ella.
