There's an interview in the Liverpool Echo with native 'pooler Jonathan Harvey, one of the Coronation Street writers. Jonathan is the man behind the pen of the new 2 hour condensed tribute to 50 years of Coronation Street, "Corrie!", opening in August at Manchester's Lowry Theatre.
It was a lot of hard work, but he had a good research assistant, Lyn Papadopoulos, who watched endless hours of Corrie to glean the best bits for the stage play. He says that Gail, Ken and Deirdre are lynchpins with only 5 actors playing all the parts, number up close to 50! There's a little bit of everything, humour, drama and all that Corrie is famous for, and they'll even touch on the original viaduct crash, something that Mr. Harvey is currently busy working on (with other writers, I assume) in anticipation of the 50th anniversary storyline dealing with a tram crashing off the viaduct.
