In the last week much was made in the tabloids about the fact that we'd been able to see inside the kitchen at the Rovers Return. It was a non-story by the tabloids, clickbait, as they said it was the first time we'd seen into the Rovers kitchen in forty years. Do they even watch the show? We've had scenes set inside the kitchen at the pub many times over the years. Find out more here.
But this has set me wondering about sets that we really haven't seen for years - or at all - on Coronation Street. I've come up with a short list of five of these and would love to know if you can think of any more.
Eileen's front room
Wasn't Sean living in there at one point? What's in there now, I wonder? A pile of Phelan's dead bodies decomposing under the sofa?
Emily's front room
Didn't Spider's girlfriend Log stay overnight in there once upon a time? Are Jude and Angie living in there now? Why is it never mentioned?
Sally's bedroom
I'd love to see Sally's bedroom, to see where she keeps her mayoral outfits.
Maria's bedroom
Maria usually makes merry with her gentlemen callers on the sofa in the front room of her flat. As far as I know we've never seen inside her bedroom. I suspect she's got a chalk board above her bed headboard, marking off the numbers of fellas she's had.
The Chippy
We never see inside For Your Fries Only any more, do we? I wonder if this will change when the new set is built and there's additional people wanting their chips?
And while I'm on the subject of sets we never see, we never see in anyone's bathrooms, do we? And while we rarely see upstairs in the Rovers, we have seen it in the past and we know there's another living room up there too as well as bedrooms.
Can you think of any more sets we have either never seen before - or we haven't seen in years?
Makes me wonder if we really need all of the new sets that are being built, when there's so much on the Street already that are never, or rarely used.
