Coronation Street has had many storylines closely guarded. But a handful of actors have still spilt the beans a little over the years. And they disclosed things ahead of schedule. And you know fans always spot such things at lightning speed, and the reactions then get spread all over the place. Scroll further to find out more.
Coronation Street And Other Soap Actors Made Huge Blunders
Helen Worth once caused tension on This Morning. It happened when she mentioned Ken Barlow’s stroke before the episode aired. She said it casually while talking about Peter Barlow’s return. And viewers caught it immediately as it was supposed to stay secret. Moreover, the timing was also awkward as the episode was hours away. But since it was Helen, nothing serious happened.
Bruce Jones in particular had a much more serious situation. It is said that he leaked confidential storylines from Corrie when he was drunk. In fact, he also disclosed the verdict for Tracy Barlows murder plot. Since this was a major story detail, ITV reacted very seriously. He denied the accusations. Regardless, he was first suspended and then the suspension became permanent in 2007. And this was one of the most severe punishment cases that were related to leaks.
Moreover, Lucy Fallon also had a different kind of accident. During an Instagram story from her dressing room in 2025, a name tag for actress Amy Cudeen appeared in the background. Also, even fans recognise the name instantly and guess that she is joining Corrie. People even speculated that she might play Swain’s ex-wife. Also, they turned out to be right.
More Times Soap Secrets Leaked Before Airing
Jacqueline Jossa didn’t reveal a plot directly. However, her social media posts made fans realise that she had already wrapped filming. EastEnders shoots weeks ago. And so viewers worked out that Lauren Branning wasn’t being killed off and wasn’t returning soon. And when her last scenes aired, people already knew she was gone.
Calum Lil committed an Instagram error. He disclosed Sabrina together with “her mate” to the public. The story preview allowed viewers to identify the unnamed character as Betsy. The show had not disclosed this relationship at that time. Fans on forums screenshot the post to discover the information before the official announcement.
Furthermore, Jack P Shepherd created a different mess in 2025. During an interview, he said, “sadly, tonight’s the end”. It happened while he was discussing David Platt’s hit-and-run storyline.
And people assumed that he was leaving Corrie after 25 years. However, he wasn’t going anywhere. For more Coronation Street spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
