Following the news that new family the Baileys are going to be moving into No3 Coronation Street, Norris Cole and Emily Bishop's “museum piece” home is set to go!
What's on TV say that the new family will take over Norris’ home and get rid of all the fixtures and fittings.
“It’s an iconic set so it’s not a decision we took lightly,” said Corrie producer Iain MacLeod of the impending makeover. “I’ll be sad to see it go. I might go down on the day they dismantle the set and nick some wallpaper. It’s a museum piece. It’s a funny thing with Corrie, we occasionally have these discussions about all our sets. You have to counterweight the requirement to be real with the fact the sets are iconic. I won’t name any but there are a few around which I don’t think would look like that in this day and age. But I’m not touching them unless someone twists my arm. No3 was kind of in that category but it felt like we had to do it.
“It would be great if the Baileys had something iconic in their house like the mural or the ducks. We did have an idea, which everyone keeps laughing about but I’m serious! What if, in renovating the house, they take out the staircase to put an open, stylish one. But, because builder Edison is so busy at work he never gets round to putting it in, so they just have a ladder to get upstairs!”

Where is Norris going to live? Does anyone know?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Norris, if indeed he is making a return, will only be on the Street briefly to sort out sales. He could stay with any of the residents if it's only for a matter of weeks. I wonder if they are keeping their options open about Norris to see how the actor's health holds up.

ReplyDeleteCan't imagine Emily will be too pleased when she gets back from wherever it is she's gone...
