Kate Oates first Coronation Street episode to air mid-August

Digital Spy confirms that we'll see the name of Coronation Street's new producer Kate Oates on her first credited episode next month.

Kate Oates' name will be in the Coronation Street credits for the first time on Monday, August 15, 2016.

The show's new producer has been working on Corrie since April this year. As  episodes are storylined and scripted so far in advance it has taken a while for her first episodes to appear on screen.

Blogger Emma and I met Kate Oates last week at the Coronation Street press day.
