Coronation Street writer Debbie Oates has turned her hand to writing a Christmas pantomime this year. She's reimaged Treasure Island as a pantomime and it'll show at The Dukes in Lanchaster this festive season. Read more on that here.
Debbie, who has written more than 100 episodes of Coronation Street, was an actor before her writing talent was recognised. She has written episodes of Fat Friends, Robin Hood, Primeval, Crusoe and Drop Dead Gorgeous for television as well as original radio and theatre plays.
Her connection with Coronation Street began 10 years ago, after learning her soap writing craft at Brookside.
“Corrie is a lovely job,” Debbie said. “Often writing is lonely so it
gives me chance to work collaboratively. The writers meet up every three
weeks to devise storylines, it’s really creative and exciting. I can’t
imagine working on any other soap. It’s amazing to hear Rita open her
mouth and say something I’ve written.”
