Many fans of Coronation Street were left wondering why a potentially life-changing storyline never made it to air. Luckily, Daran Little, an award-winning television writer who has contributed to numerous episodes of the show, offered some insight into this mystery. He often shares behind-the-scenes stories from his time working on Coronation Street, and this time was no exception. In response to a fan's discussion about a planned tram crash in 2005, Little revealed that the show had also considered a massive flood that would have affected the street and its residents.
The idea of a flood on the cobbles certainly would have been a shocking and captivating storyline for viewers. One fan even exclaimed, "Oh wow, this should've happened!" in response to Little's revelation. But unfortunately, the cost of such a production proved to be too expensive for the show. However, this flood would have been similar to the sinkhole collapse that occurred in 2021, where characters found themselves in peril as they fell into the Victorian sewers during a storm.
One of Little's most heartwarming anecdotes involves his former colleague and friend, Helen Worth, who plays Gail Platt on the show. Earlier this year, when it was announced that Worth would be leaving her role after 50 years on the show, Little took to social media to share a touching story about her. He revealed that she was the first person he came out to, and she offered him words of encouragement and support. Little expressed his love and appreciation for Worth, wishing her all the best in her future endeavors.
For avid fans of soaps like Coronation Street, EastEnders, and Emmerdale, Little's insights and stories are a treat. That's why he invites fans to join an exclusive WhatsApp community, where they can discuss and receive the latest spoilers, interviews, and must-watch videos. It's a great way for fans to stay connected and up to date on all the juicy gossip from their favorite shows. And with Helen Worth's departure from Coronation Street, it's sure to be an exciting time for fans and the show alike. As Worth herself said, "the past 50 years have flown by" and her decision to leave the show has yet to fully sink in.
