There's a wonderfully revealing interview with Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson in the Manchester Evening News. You can read it in full (spoilers through the link regarding characters that are leaving) here or here's the highlights below:

He once auditioned with Antony Cotton for a part in Queer as Folk.

He once appeared in Corrie as a banker who sold John Lindsay a loan! Have a look at him here at corrie.net.

There'll be surprising exits when the tram crashes and kills off people in December. Here's who the Sunday Mirror reckons will be getting killed off - with a handy cut out and keep map of the Street for the easily confused.

And he says there’s also much more to come in the love story between Sophie Webster and Sian Powers.
