Kate Oates takes over at Coronation Street as new producer

New producer Kate Oates has now taken over the reins at Coronation Street. 

In an interview with Ben Price in the Metro, Ben talks about his character Nick Tilsley's brain damage causing all sorts of problems for him in the coming weeks.  He touches on the departure of Carla Connor but doesn't reveal anything of significance, of course.

But he does say this about the future of Nick on Corrie: "I think a lot of people say about their characters that they wish for some happiness but I don’t for Nick. I like Nick in some kind of torment! Tormented is good! I like the idea of the slightly broken man with morals who tries to save his family and he tries to anchor them and be the good guy – and yet he has this difficult side that he can’t control.

"But now, we have a new boss – Kate Oates has started, so it’s up to her!

Asked by Metro if Ben has met Kate, he says: "Yeah, she’s lovely. It’s up to her – my life is in her hands!"
