Four Coronation Street favourites are set to take centre stage in the coming months on the ITV soap. Corrie boss Kate Brooks has teased more than one new storyline, describing them as "massive" for the show. She revealed four characters that will feature in huge scenes ahead.
Sally and Tim Metcalfe Face a Curveball
Viewers will see plenty more of couple Sally and Tim Metcalfe. Speaking to The Mirror, Kate warned the pair could be tested with a "curveball" thrown their way. It is thought Christina Boyd could also be linked to the plot.
Bernie Winter's Massive Plot
Bernie Winter will be at the centre of her own "massive" plot, which will involve Kit Green and Bernie's other family members.
Debbie Webster's Phenomenal Scenes
Kate also referenced big scenes ahead for Debbie Webster, calling them "phenomenal." Bernie and Christina will also be involved in this plot.
Kate revealed: "Christina, Glenda, Sally, Debbie, Bernie, those five women are just phenomenal actors, and the warmth and the comedy that they all emanate is just contagious. It won't just be Debbie at the front and centre."
"There's a massive storyline coming up for Bernie further down the line, which will involve Kit and her family dynamic. That's too far ahead, but certainly late spring, early summer."
"There's a massive story for Sally and Tim that comes to the fore, and it's a story that tests them as people, tests them as a couple, but tests them as foster parents as well. It's a bit of a curveball, and it comes from slightly left field, but absolutely upends their lives."
"It's how they navigate that situation going forward. Sally and Tim are so beloved, and I just adore them. And it's seeing them in a slightly different position than what we've seen them in before."
"That story will also dovetail further down the line with a Christina story. Christina and George are a really great, strong couple in the show. There's a connection there as well."
More details will be revealed closer to the storylines airing, with Kate remaining coy over the full details for the time being. That said, it is shaping up to be a big year on the cobbles for the mentioned characters.
Also set to be revealed is Theo Silverton's killer, after his murder in a recent episode. Kate confirmed that in the coming months viewers will finally find out who committed the crime and why, while cast members have teased the culprit will surprise fans.
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
