There's big news about the sinkhole on Coronation Street as the story will be revisted. According to Digital Spy, the sinkhole story will result in one character dying.
Sally Carman (who plays Abi Franklin) told The Mirror at the National Television Awards: "It's going to be so big it will rival the tram crash. You're going to have your socks blown off."
The soap's boss Iain MacLeod teased it even more, stating: "We don't have Chekhov's gun in our stories but we do have Chekhov's sinkhole. We've tried to look at the last 12 months and the limited way in which all soaps have been forced to tell their stories, and try to subvert that and go 'we're back'.
"It's going to be really huge – there's loads of emotion, there's loads of big spectacle – it's going to be cinematic. It's a statement of intent that we wanted, as a show, to put out there – to make something we couldn't possibly have made in the past 18 months because the pandemic wouldn't allow it.
"But we're back now, our team is the best in the business and we can do it and we're going to do it and it's going to be incredibly impressive.
"When you do a story of a certain scale and at a certain level of spectacle, the viewers expect there to be significant aftermath to it and significant outcomes. So yes, I can confirm that Chekhov's sinkhole will result in a death."
I wonder who it will be?
