Corrie Wedding

[scoobysoo]

It said on This Morning the other day that they have filmed 2 endings for Shelley's wedding, and that even the cast didn't know what would happen. How can this be true? Even if they don't know which ending they'll use, surely they have already filmed the follow up episodes and therefore know what happens???

Surely they will have filmed two alternatives for each of the follow-up episodes.  And then two alternatives for each of those  and so on, so on ....................

When they say they film 2 endings it's probably just the outside wedding bits that the public may see being filmed. It's also probably just hype and to keep people guessing incase something is leaked.

My partner�s best friend works for the production team at Granada TV and it is not uncommon for plot lines to have multi endings recorded. This is for all soaps and running dramas not only Coronation Street. The Richard Hillman story line had 4 different endings filmed. The reason given to the press is in case the plot line is leaked or they need to change direction The truth is due to death (Seth Armstrong, Emmerdale, Stan Ogden, Coronation Street, Most of the older Archers cast! ), illness (Julia Goodyear � Bet Lynch, ) or tabloid nightmares, i.e.: (Leslie Grantham, Steve McFadeden, Danielle Westbrook, Chris Quentin, John Savant, Lynne Perrie, Pat Pheonix etc). Some of the plot scenes are recorded many weeks in advance, this is why you never see references to real events, the cricket ashes, world cups, news events etc. However the real reason is that although Coronation Street is ITV�s flagship programme re advertising revenues & status etc, the actors are not the best paid in the world and the shows producers like to keep them on their toes and in place. I can see the logic in this no one actor is bigger than the show, not many actors leave the street and go to better things. Sara Lancashire apart I can only think of Phil Middlemass (Where the heart is) that have left and been seen on TV. Don�t include Joanna Lumley she was only in for a handful of episodes.
