CS/The major stunt scene that was never shot

There’s always more drama brewing behind the scenes than meets the eye– and Coronation Street is no exception. Corrie bosses had once planned a jaw-dropping stunt that would have left the street unrecognizable, but cost concerns sadly stopped it from happening. So, what was this mysterious event that could have topped all other stunts? Let’s take a look at what was planned, why it was scrapped, and the impact it could have had on our favourite characters’ lives.

   

Plans For A Massive Flood – “It Would’ve Been Unforgettable”

BAFTA-winning Corrie writer Daran Little recently took to social media to reveal the show’s ambitious plans for a massive flood that would have swept across the cobbles, placing lives in grave danger. “You wanna blow your mind further?” Little hinted.

“At one stage, we planned to flood the street – like a massive flood that killed people and had everyone sat on their roofs.” The dramatic storyline would have meant saying goodbye to some of our beloved characters, but the idea was ultimately shelved due to the sheer cost.

Little continued, “It was way too expensive. The logistics alone were incredible, not to mention the insurance! But we had it all mapped out. It would’ve been unforgettable, the likes of which Corrie fans had never seen.” It’s hard not to imagine the high-stakes drama this storyline would have brought to our screens.

Sinkholes, Tram Crashes, And Heartbreak – Corrie’s Most Memorable Moments

While the flood didn’t happen, Coronation Street has seen its fair share of big stunts over the years. One of the most unforgettable moments was the 2021 sinkhole storyline. A massive sinkhole opened up, swallowing beloved character Johnny Connor (Richard Hawley) as he heroically tried to save his estranged wife Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews).

Fans were left heartbroken as Johnny heard his late son Aidan’s (Shayne Ward) voice calling to him before slipping into the water, bringing his tragic journey to an end. This storyline tugged at viewers’ heartstrings, reminding us of the impact of loss and family bonds.

And, of course, who can forget the 2010 tram crash? This legendary event left a trail of destruction across the Street, claiming the lives of well-loved characters Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold) and Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns). It was one of those episodes that kept fans glued to their screens, waiting to see who would survive and what the aftermath would bring.

Could There Be Another Big Stunt In The Works?

With all these stunts and storylines, it’s only natural for fans to wonder what’s next for Coronation Street. Daran Little’s revelations about the flood have sparked hopes that Corrie’s writers still have some big plans up their sleeves.

While budgets might limit the show from going as grand as Hollywood, the creativity and drama on Corrie have never been in short supply. A show insider hinted, “We’ve always got ideas floating around. It’s all about timing and what we think the fans will love.”

So, will we see a huge event take place on the cobbles sometime soon? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – with each twist, heartbreak, and shock, Corrie continues to be the heartbeat of British soap drama. Fans can only keep their fingers crossed for what might just be the next unforgettable moment. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily and never miss an update on Coronation Street!
