Video secrets of Corrie's stormy scenes

Friday night's double episode of Coronation Street was a cracker. But did you know that the torrential rain wasn't real, it was brought in by special effects firm Any Effects and Carla Connor, being heavily pregnant, didn't screech off in the car herself, she had a stunt double. Find out more and see how Carla's final scenes were filmed in a short video on the official Corrie site.

And through all the drama, the great Coronation Street macaroon mystery unfolded. The writing on Corrie at the minute is pretty darn good.

The great Corrie macaroon mystery

Last night's big dilemma on Coronation Street was a real macaroon mystery. Is a macaroon a biscuit or a cake...? debated Steve and Lloyd. The question reared its head again in the Rovers as Norris, Mary, Rita and Colin considered if carefully over a drink at the bar. Mary knew her onions and the law surrounding Jaffa Cakes but did she know the answer to the macaroon mystery? Indeed she did. As the law determines it, cakes go stale when they go off and biscuits go soft. As macaroons go soft, that means they're biscuits.
