Now then, I have no idea who the person is who wrote this. They describe themselves simply as someone who has "made a living for over 20 years from soap operas, TV and Radio."
But what they say is interesting. In a blog post called A to Z of Soap Opera Cliches - this is written under B for Betty's Hot Pot.
B – Betty’s Hotpot. Admittedly I struggled with this one, but offer Betty’s Hotpot because it’s a nostalgic slice of Coronation Street. I worked with a producer who banned hotpot stories, and I understood why. I’ve spent half my life in pubs and have never seen an offering on the menu named after a long-dead barmaid.
Now then, which Corrie producer could this have been who banned Betty's hotpot?
Betty died on-screen in 2012 which means it could only have been either Phil Collinson or Stuart Blackburn who have at the helm during 2012 and since then.
Betty's hotpot? Banned? How very dare they!
