[Loukas]

Jesus!!
Should be interesting!

[Scarlett.]

Apparently that's the tram exploding o.o Not sure though as it doesn't look like the viaduct has collapsed yet xD

[Scarlett.]

More pics!

[Smithy]

omfg!!! :amazed:

[Visage]

Oh this is looking really good:D

[Scarlett.]

I can't wait :D

[Visage]

I can't wait :D

I know, it's horrible with all these teasers and piccies, I feel like I've just tasted the pudding and someone has taken it away, telling me I have to wait a while longer for the full works.

[Scarlett.]

Indeed :D I think those pictures are just the explosion as it doesn't look like the viaduct has collapsed yet

[Omen]

Be gas if Al qaeda blew up a train before it aired. They'd have to cancel it.

[Scarlett.]

Nah, that's the joinery exploding, that exploding causes the viaduct to collapse, which then causes the tram to crash through the rubble :p It's not a simple tram accident (GMPTE wouldn't allow it if it was)

[Callum]

Looks brilliant!

[elliebrew]

dhOTciPvK2I

[flamingGalah!]

I can't wait for this!! Hopefully we will get more leaked pics :D

[Scarlett.]

I hope this is all we get in a way xD

[Smithy]

Nooooooooo

I want more :bawling:

[Scarlett.]

but it'll spoil it xD

[Smithy]

no it won't we know whats gunna happen anyway, I just wanna see it sooo bad

[Scarlett.]

lol :aldo:

[pinkmichk]

looks amazing but damn it why do soaps put so much out there peeps are already excited for it dont spoil it corrie

[Nicky.]

lol :aldo:

Aldo ftw.

[Scarlett.]

looks amazing but damn it why do soaps put so much out there peeps are already excited for it dont spoil it corrie

It's the Daily Mail's fault, Corrie would have hid this if they could, but the explosion is half the size of the set, so it's kinda hard to keep a lid on that xD

[Smithy]

looks amazing but damn it why do soaps put so much out there peeps are already excited for it dont spoil it corrie

It actually looks like these have been taken off set, I doubt the corrie crew knew about it

[Scarlett.]

[Smithy]

umm....

*needs tram*

[Scarlett.]

It looks like it goes down the middle of the street lol

[Smithy]

yea, the debris does :conf2:

[Scarlett.]

I can't see the tram going down at that angle though lol

[Smithy]

rofl ikr, just crashes into the surgery

[Scarlett.]

I don't think the tram has crashed in that one, but at least we know it was the Joinery exploding :p

[Omen]

Why would a joinery explode?

[Smithy]

^
Its a bar

[Scarlett.]

Why would a joinery explode?
It's a bar that used to be a Joinery, and we don't yet know :p

[Omen]

Is it not even more unlikely then, a bar exploding? Have they thought this through?

[Scarlett.]

It could be arson or anything, it doesn't have to be a bar just spontaniously combusting lmao

[Smithy]

A gas leak...

[Omen]

A gas leak...

Suppose so, or a UXB, Manchester was heavily bombed.

[elliebrew]

That end of the street has had a real Battering this year! 2 EXPLOSIONS!! and a Tram Crash

[Scarlett.]

lol yeah, though I'd rather forget about the Underworld one, due to the connections it has following the events in Cumbria

lol it's funny, for years I wanted them to do something with Turner's Joinery

[flamingGalah!]

It's not that far fetched for a bar to catch fire & explode, they use high pressure gas canisters for the drinks pumps, not to metion all the flammable alcohol... Look how easily The Queen Vic went up... ;)

They are taking weeks to film this all aren't they? I expect it was just the initial explosion of the bar they started filming last night, all the debris will be left for continuity... The tram should come soon... Hopefully we will get pics of that :D This is gonna look so good on ITV HD...

[Smithy]

omg

*note to self get ITV HD prior to dec*

[Jords]

THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Scarlett.]

A Corrie insider told me this is just the bar explosion, the tram and viaduct collapse are still to come :D

I wonder how many people will be killed in the show? There will be all the "people" on the tram and lots of people in the bar - If this is the fault of a character, they're gonna feel very guilty

[Smithy]

I think only 3 :( (not including Charlottes murder)

[Scarlett.]

It was said to be "at least 3" as well as a murder :p

but I meant all the extras who will be killed :p

[Smithy]

IDK :/

I think although the stunt itself will be epic, I think we may be let down with only a couple predictable deaths

[Scarlett.]

Meh, I'm more looking forward to the changes it will bring

[Scarlett.]

Is that the tram by the Rovers?

[Smithy]

No, it's a van :p

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01139/SNF07TV2FX-280_1139281j.jpg

Silly buggars calling it the websters house :nono:

[Scarlett.]

The Corner Shop is no more

[Smithy]

aww theyve just taken it down, thought it'd be a pic of it being all collapsed :p

[Scarlett.]

lol they're rebuilding a stunt version of it and the Kabin (which, if you hadn't noticed has got half of it missing xD)

[Smithy]

yea, Assumed that, with the tram in the middle off it too i assume :p

So will the CGI be used for the tram coming off the rails and into the street?

[Scarlett.]

I think it will be a combination, but at least now we know the angle it happens at lol

[Scarlett.]

I wonder what will be built on the site of the Corner shop?

I can't believe it's gone lol, it's been there since the show began

[Scarlett.]

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/178.$plit/C_71_article_1345136_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?08%2F10%2F2010%2007%3A53%3A29%3A710

[Scarlett.]

http://www.itv.com/soaps/coronationstreet/news/tramcrashfilming/

[flemin]

That's the second time the corner shop will have exploded.

[Scarlett.]

lol technically it doesn't explode, it just gets trammed :p

I love this shot

http://www.itv.com/soaps/coronationstreet/pictures/picturespecials/tramcrashfilming/be6a4836-c49b-488e-92de-000178aa38c9/PreviewFile.jpg.ashx?w=640&q=100

[flamingGalah!]

How exciting! Wont be long until we see pics of the tram on the street & the collapsed (with rubble) Corner shop & Kabin :D

[Scarlett.]

Aye :D No other soaps will be able to top this for a loooooooooong time xD

[flamingGalah!]

I bet EastEnders will have a tube train come off their viaduct at some point in the near future :joker:

[Scarlett.]

lol that'd just make them look bad xD

[Scarlett.]

Obviously this is without all the cgi and it's set in daytime which means the tram is just sat there xD

http://www.itv.com/soaps/coronationstreet/news/tramcrashfilming/ba98f983-f609-41a4-a88f-ae7bde9e90e9/PreviewFile.jpg.ashx?w=512&nq=100

[Smithy]

Ohh I saw this in the people earlier, but it was from a different angle, I'll see if i can find it :)

[Scarlett.]

Cool :p

It's weird, that Kabin has been there nearly as long as EastEnders has been running, and now, look at it xD

[Smithy]

no they fail and took the picture down :bawling:

[Smithy]

Cool :p

It's weird, that Kabin has been there nearly as long as EastEnders has been running, and now, look at it xD

ikr, the other picture showed the corner shop being destroyed by it, I wonder if Tina and Graham will be in their flat :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

I see :shocked: the first scene of Corrie was set in the Corner Shop, now its gone :eek:

[Smithy]

Is it going to get rebuilt?

[Scarlett.]

The Corner Shop? Not sure, the Kabin will be made bigger I think

[Smithy]

hmm, I think the Kabins been in need of a revamp for a while, I quite liked the corner shop though, after Maya blew it up

[Scarlett.]

Lol I liked it when it first reopened and was blue and red, then it changed back to its old colours for some reason lol

[flamingGalah!]

Oooh 'citin!! Wanna see more leaked pics!!!! :D

[Scarlett.]

lol it's not leaked, strangely ITV are feeding these to us xD

[Scarlett.]

A bigger pic
http://ianwylie.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/corrietram1500.jpg?w=500&h=333

Apparently the front of the tram hits the Corner Shop, and the back end hits the Kabin

[Smithy]

really?

Thats a weird angle for the tram to be if its the back of it :conf2:

[Patrick]

Not sure why, but I always pictured this happening during the day...

[Callum]

really?

Thats a weird angle for the tram to be if its the back of it :conf2:

I thought that :conf2:

[Scarlett.]

remember the Mirror's image? I think it was true :p

[Scarlett.]

Here it is :p

[Scarlett.]

I just spotted the second carraige lol, look at the Corner Shop :p

[Scarlett.]

New pic, you can now see the Kabin, when before it would have been covered by the Corner Shop lol

http://images.dailystar-uk.co.uk/dynamic/10/281x351/157697_1.jpg

[flamingGalah!]

I love how Granada have covered all the windows of the Museum of Science & Industry! Must be dark in there, bet they were chuffed at that lol :joker:

[Scarlett.]

lol the whole area looks depressing now

[Smithy]

Here it is :p

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/aug2010/5/7/pic-image-2-720903937.jpg
That still makes it look like the Kabin bears the brunt of it

[Scarlett.]

lol well maybe it still will :p

[Scarlett.]

lol you can see the yellow at the front of the tram in this one

Looks like the Kabin might explode D:

[Tom]

I love how Granada have covered all the windows of the Museum of Science & Industry! Must be dark in there, bet they were chuffed at that lol :joker:

I think it was the museum that did it because people were going in the museum to look out the windows to see Corrie, not go in to look at whats in there :joker:

On the subject of the tram, its a good job most people don't live in Manchester because theres an obvious fault in that, the trams don't have separate carrages so unless it snaps in half then going into both shops is impossible. although saying that they are bendy

They are seperate, but they're usually joint together, also don't forget that in the pics they might not be in position yet

I heard there's smoke coming from the set tonight

That's the same pic you posted the other day Chewy?:conf: Is there another new pic??

I don't think the Kabin explodes, it's probably the force of the impact of the tram that causes the roof tiles to come off etc... I literally cannot wait for this to air now!! :dance:

[Scarlett.]

It's higher quality :p, you can zoom in xD

Zoom into the tram window, you might get a nasty surprise :p

It's strange how the Kabin tiles have come off

[flamingGalah!]

You tease Chewy I was all excited to see a new pic! :joker:

I zoomed in, what am I supposed to be seeing??

The force of the tram hitting the Kabin would be similar to an explosion as it would literally jolt the whole building, a bit like how an earthquake would, so it's not surprising many of the tiles would come off... I just hope Rita isn't home :o Or in The Joinery... or in The Corner Shop... lol

[Smithy]

I zoomed in, didnt see anything different :conf2:

lol there's two feet in the tram :p

I bet the Kabin ends up collapsing

[flamingGalah!]

lol there's two feet in the tram :p

I bet the Kabin ends up collapsing

I zoomed in closer, looks like a bit of rope or cable to me...

I thought it was going to be the ghostly face of Pat Phoenix or something! :joker:

[Scarlett.]

lmao :p

[Smithy]

just looks like a pile of cable :p

Has it been confirmed that only 3 people are dying then ?

[Scarlett.]

Has it been confirmed that only 3 people are dying then ?And one murder :p

[Smithy]

UMG T'is such a wreck :o

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01142/Corrie-Main_1142680a.jpg

[flamingGalah!]

Are they using a real tram or a replica one? Only it seems they are adding bits to the carriages... Some sources say they are using an older model that was involved in a crash & other sources say it's a mock up tram?? :conf:

[Scarlett.]

It's a mock up one, I think GMPTE donated a tram for Corrie to replicate

[flamingGalah!]

I wonder if the tram will have any passengers on it? Could be an empty one going back to the depot... Otherwise there will be loads dying :conf2:

[Scarlett.]

I wonder if the tram will have any passengers on it? Could be an empty one going back to the depot... Otherwise there will be loads dying :conf2:

Probably full

[flamingGalah!]

Probably full

That would be a bit sick though wouldn't it? We'd see loads of bodies & that in the tram :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

They wouldn't have to show them :p plus people could still escape

[Scarlett.]

How would we know they were in there then?!? :p

I suppose they could survive, would be badly injured though I imagine!

I'm still scared for Rita... :/

[Smithy]

it'll be at night, so dark so you wouldnt expect a tram to be very busy

[Scarlett.]

It'll be December, it gets dark around 4pm :p

[Smithy]

oh ya :p

[Patrick]

Must be such a depressing place to work.

[Smithy]

why? :conf2:

[Scarlett.]

The cast are loving filming this, they have ten whole weeks to film 5 episodes :p

[flamingGalah!]

It'll be December, it gets dark around 4pm :p

But if people are in the bar then I would assume it would be later in the evening...

[flamingGalah!]

Must be such a depressing place to work.

What, Manchester? :joker:

[Scarlett.]

But if people are in the bar then I would assume it would be later in the evening...I'm guessing it happens at 7pm Corrie time

['Conor]

i dont watch corrie :) but wanna start now haha what days is it on?

[Smithy]

Monday at 7:30 & 8:30
Thursday at 8:30
Friday 7:30 & 8:30

:)

['Conor]

has it 2 times on a mondy and friday? do the ratings stay up for the second episode

[Smithy]

It varies, usually it increases, but sometimes it'll decrease

[Scarlett.]

Depends, the ratings usually stay the same for both episodes

New pics!

['Conor]

i thought the tram was suppose to lik skid down the street

[Scarlett.]

lol nah :p I did think that at first, but it'd be unrealistic

['Conor]

so not that many people will be killed if it just crashes into the 2 shops

[Smithy]

theres a pub underneath which will be full of people at a wedding when it explodes

[flamingGalah!]

so not that many people will be killed if it just crashes into the 2 shops

Depends if the shops are open at the time doesn't it, or if Rita, Graeme & Tina are at home... Also any passengers on the tram, people walking by or, as has been said, people who survived the explosion in The Joinery under the viaduct are then flattened as they try & escape :joker:

Besides only 3 are supposed to die anyway...

[Scarlett.]

lol then watch out on the first week of December! D:

[CarlaConnor]

haha lol.... yep.... u best watch out..... we should all start a thread that people can join to keep our favorites in! I might do one :)

If you decide to do one which character will it be for???? :)

[CarlaConnor]

Might do one for Carla! probs won't get killed anyways though!!!

I'll have to think about it :)

[CarlaConnor]

I do not believe it!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Alison King (Carla Connor) has started smoking again..... look!!!!! :eek:

http://www.celebrity-pix.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&p=31029

Click on each of the pictures!! :o

she has a child!!!!!!!!!!! :o

[CarlaConnor]

thought she knew better!!!!

If the only reason she is smoking is because she is sad or something.... maybe because she has been killed off then :o

[Smithy]

I thought shes always smoked (apart from when she pregnant?)

[CarlaConnor]

Nope, nope! She gave up and clearly decided she wated to start again.

[CarlaConnor]

I do hope it's not because she has been killed of though!!! I'd hate it!! :(

[Smithy]

I don't think she has been, she says she's in the live episode

[CarlaConnor]

Yeh.... but she could only have to pretend to be dead in the live episode!!!!! Unlikely though :)

[CarlaConnor]

Who do you all actually think will die then?
Can't be jack... seen pics of his funeral being filmed.

[Scarlett.]

Molly Dobbs
Nick Tilsley
Ashley Peacock

[flamingGalah!]

Molly Dobbs
Nick Tilsley
Ashley Peacock

I think:

Molly Dobbs
Janice Battersby
Julie Carp or Betty Hotpot :D

Ashley is in Panto here in Southsea this Xmas (along with Irene from Home & Away :) ) already have my ticket!

[Scarlett.]

I wonder if Molly will be a red herring?

[Beastie]

Molly Dobbs
Nick Tilsley
Ashley Peacock

Just them 3? I thought more die in the tram crash?

[Scarlett.]

Just them 3? I thought more die in the tram crash?

There's at least three deaths and a murder, though I heard some spare part characters will also die

[CarlaConnor]

oooooh... can't be nick as he has signed a 1 year deal.
and i think i might have read somewhere that janice is omly leaving after the tram crash.

i think

Molly
tyrone
julie

badly injured

carla
leanne
simon

[CarlaConnor]

Coronation Street's 50th anniversary schedules were thrown into turmoil yesterday when the temporary tram crash scenery began to wobble ahead of a tear-jerking death scene.

Filming was halted as one of the shows biggest characters waited for their last tragic scenes.

A source said: "The lighting was attached to scaffolding but it got overloaded. There was a danger of the actor being crushed to death. Fortunately it was spotted in time."

Characters tipped to go in the crash include Janice Battersby, Rita Sullivan, Ashley Peacock, John Stape and dog Schmeichel.

oooh.. wonder which character was filming their death scenes? :conf3:

one of the shows biggest characters... Who do you all think it was?

[CarlaConnor]

ooooh... bet it's rita or someone like that!

[Stacey.]

Omg. I don't want Nick to die. :bawling:

[CarlaConnor]

haha lol! I don't really care about nick but i think they can do alot more with his character!
They have a lot of people they could get him together with... ben who plays him has signed a new 1 year deal so wont be going and he said that nick is going to get with Leanne and Carla as well... so there is no way he will go!!! :)

[flamingGalah!]

They can't kill off Rita, I will have a fit if they do!! But we know she has to get an early night, to be up for t'papers in mornin', so will she be crushed in her bed? :angel:

I still think Claire & Ashley leave before the crash, so the other definite's we know that are leaving are Molly, Janice & wasn't there a rumour that the hotpot queen was leaving too??

[Scarlett.]

Maybe Rita will do an Ena and make everyone think she's been killed, then she's dragged out of the rubble :D

[CarlaConnor]

haha.. yeah... I'd like to see Rita do that! it would be good :D

[CarlaConnor]

how long do you think it is now until the Carla, Peter, Leanne and Nick love square??? :)

[CarlaConnor]

I reckon it will be in early November!!! quite looking forward to it and how it all ends, hope peter and Carla get to stay together though, she deserves some happiness after everything she has been through :)

[flamingGalah!]

I expect Alan Bradley's ghost will try to see that she is killed by a tram too :joker:

[CarlaConnor]

hahaha... yeah!! :joker:

[CarlaConnor]

People that are not dying in the tram crash are..

Sian
Sophie
Nick
Roy
Hayley
Kylie
Becky
Steve
Michelle
Tina
Kevin
Sally
Rosie

Suppose it is a bit easier for us to guess now then!

Tyrone!
Molly!
Janice or Carla!

[CarlaConnor]

haha lol!!!! Jack p sheperd (David) has a stalker ho keeps sending him letters claiming to be his real dad!!! Scary :o

[Marsh.]

haha lol!!!! Jack p sheperd (David) has a stalker ho keeps sending him letters claiming to be his real dad!!! Scary :o

It's very scary. That's not something you'd want to admit to.

BTW, what is that strange growth on his face, is he trying to look more grown up with the beard because he still looks like a weedy 12 yo.

[CarlaConnor]

Haha... I no... he looks really strange!!! :)

[CarlaConnor]

What do you think that C shaped wreath on the steps of underworld is all about?

[CarlaConnor]

oh no... Charlotte's coming back... probably she put the wreath on the steps of underworld... she is crazed after all... lol!!! :)

[CarlaConnor]

Which Corrie characters have signed new contracts??

[Smithy]

There was a picture in the Sun's TV mag today showing them filming the crash there was a few people stood screaming, so you could assume it wasn't them that were killed

[Visage]

It's funny how some of the cast have been talking to the press, saying they don't know if they are going to die in the crash. I would have thought a clue would be when their contract was up.

[Scarlett.]

The leavers know they're going, but no one else does

[Visage]

Yeah. I get that, but some of those not leaving have been saying they don't know if they will be killed off. I'm just thinking that surely with their contracts, those that don't know who is going must realise they are still in a job come January.

[Scarlett.]

lol I imagine they're being told to say they have no idea

[Scarlett.]

OMFG!

CABBIE Lloyd Mullaney is blown through the door of the Peacocks’ house after the tram crash causes an explosion to rip through their home.

And with Lloyd unable to get inside the burning building, fans will have to wait until the soap’s 50th anniversary to find out whether Ashley, Claire and their two sons are in the house.


Before filming the scenes, actor Craig Charles, 46, was shown how to land safely on a crash mat by a stunt double.


CLAIM AN ONLINE POKER BONUS OF UP TO $250!

But the soap’s bosses are keeping tight-lipped about what happens to Lloyd, whether he survives the *explosion and if the Peacocks make it out alive. A Corrie insider said: “The tram crashes into the corner shop and causes a fire to rage through the Peacocks’ house next door.


“Lloyd is in the street and his first reaction is to get into the house.


“He has no idea whether Claire and Ashley are inside and he doesn’t get the chance to find out.
“As soon as he gets inside he’s blown back out through the door.


“Craig was more than up for doing the stunt himself. Most of the cast are doing all their own stunts.


“We’ve got some of the best special effects and stunt people in the *country working on the storyline. As soon as that tram crashes it really does become Devastation Street.”


Corrie bosses started filming the soap’s biggest-ever disaster earlier this month to celebrate its 50th *anniversary.


The tram carnage will see a number of much-loved characters die or get injured after it careers off the viaduct.


The insider added: “There is a huge buzz around the set. The work that people are putting in is just incredible.


“They’ve already shot some really powerful scenes and there have been a lot of real tears.”


The shocking scenes will be shown in December.

That would make more sense.

It's really hard for any of the soaps to keep the viewers guessing when a character is about to leave a show. More so for the actors who are well established.

Hollyoaks nearly got away with bringing an old character back unnoticed, but then that leaked a week or two ago.

We live in the Internet age where everyone knows what everyone else is up to.

[Visage]

Ha ha!

Just what I was talking about....


Great gossip though, I'm so excited for Corrie



OMFG!

CABBIE Lloyd Mullaney is blown through the door of the Peacocks’ house after the tram crash causes an explosion to rip through their home.

And with Lloyd unable to get inside the burning building, fans will have to wait until the soap’s 50th anniversary to find out whether Ashley, Claire and their two sons are in the house.


Before filming the scenes, actor Craig Charles, 46, was shown how to land safely on a crash mat by a stunt double.

But the soap’s bosses are keeping tight-lipped about what happens to Lloyd, whether he survives the *explosion and if the Peacocks make it out alive. A Corrie insider said: “The tram crashes into the corner shop and causes a fire to rage through the Peacocks’ house next door.


“Lloyd is in the street and his first reaction is to get into the house.


“He has no idea whether Claire and Ashley are inside and he doesn’t get the chance to find out.
“As soon as he gets inside he’s blown back out through the door.


“Craig was more than up for doing the stunt himself. Most of the cast are doing all their own stunts.


“We’ve got some of the best special effects and stunt people in the *country working on the storyline. As soon as that tram crashes it really does become Devastation Street.”

Yes !!:elephant:

I did stay on the page a while longer expecting a picture to show.:hugesmile:

[Scarlett.]

That's like..four buildings totally destroyed now :eek:

[Visage]

I know, it's crazy and all exciting at the same time:eek:


The street is going to looked destroyed for months:bawling:

[Scarlett.]

It's certainly never going to be the same again, I don't think any other soap have done something on this scale before

[Visage]

I agree, this is going to be the biggest soap disaster there is. While I'm all in favour and really excited about this, the one thing I fear is that we may never have a corner shop or cabin again in the street.

I hope this is really just rumours, because I can't imagine the street without either of those two.

[Scarlett.]

The Kabin will be back, the guy who plays Norris hinted at it being bigger :p as for the Corner Shop...D:

[Visage]

Good, we're half way there then...... :laugh:


On that note I need to get some sleep.

Catch you later :xyxwave:

[Scarlett.]

Night!

[RichardWells]

Good let's hope they kill of Claire.

She's bloody annoying.

[Scarlett.]

[Smithy]

that must be like, mid crash, coz the fridge is in suspence :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

Lol yes it is :p

I wonder if ITV will release some misleading pics?

[Smithy]

idc

*needs trailer/promo*

*drools*

[Scarlett.]

I hope they do some special idents for ITV1

['Conor]

i hope claire dies, she does my head in

[Scarlett.]

tbh, I think Ashley dies

['Conor]

this crash is seriously gonna be amazing

[Scarlett.]

this crash is seriously gonna be amazing

I can't wait, it looks to be even bigger than the Emmerdale Plane Crash

['Conor]

I can't wait, it looks to be even bigger than the Emmerdale Plane Crash

emmerdale had a plane crash? when :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

emmerdale had a plane crash? when :shocked:

1994 :p

[Smithy]

I hope they do some special idents for ITV1

yea, they need all sorts really.

Double spread national newspapers, like they did with the only way is essex (like wtf?!?!)
idents
10 sec trailers
20 sec trailers
30 sec trailers (maybe during the week itself)

[Scarlett.]

I agree, they really need to promote the hell out of this

[Smithy]

You just know it's gonna be Devastation street :D

[Scarlett.]

I wonder if they will use that name for the trailers?

['Conor]

that would be a good name yeah

[Scarlett.]

They used to use it before "Corrie The Nations Street" came along lol

['Conor]

if the tram crashes into the corner shop and the cabin, how does ashleys house explode then?

[Scarlett.]

I'm guessing it's a gas explosion, caused by the crash

[Smithy]

hmm that gonna be a lot of gas leaks :L

[Scarlett.]

If a tram crashed through a house next door - it's gonna unsettle some piping in your house xD

['Conor]

its gonna be a sad x mas

[Scarlett.]

I bet Tracy will be shocked at the state of the street lol

[Smithy]

ik, rofl

I was thinking that a couple weeks ago, she walks back and is like "ok wtf happened there"

[flamingGalah!]

If it is true that Granada's plans to move to Media City are back on, then it's going to be a bloody waste having to rebuild all these exterior (& interior) sets! And if they do move I hope they make the Rovers a bit bigger & actually allow for all the rooms & extra wings that are in the interior set :joker:

[Scarlett.]

lol indeed, they'd have been better moving straight after the tram crash xD

['Conor]

its weird cause when i watch corrie like now, and im just like you guys have no idea what destruction is gonna happen in 2 months :L

[Scarlett.]

lol everytime I see D&S Alahan's now, I just think "not gonna see that for much longer" xD

[CarlaConnor]

God!!!!!!!!! Exciting!!!!

So who do you all think is gonna die now then?

[Scarlett.]

I don't know, from the pics, it looks like more than three die xD

[CarlaConnor]

god it's exciting!!!!!!!!!!!

who do you reckon will go out of nick/leanne/peter/carla?

one of the characters dying must be one of them surely?

Can't be Nick because he has signed a new 1 year contract.

so leanne/peter/carla???????

[Scarlett.]

I think

Molly/Ashley/?????

I think more than three will, the producers are being way too open about all this xD

[CarlaConnor]

well i doubt peter will get killed because he still has to look after simon.

so i'm guessing on Leanne or Carla??????? Which one do you think is more likely though and why?

[Scarlett.]

I don't know, it might not be them two, maybe Norris or Rita?

[CarlaConnor]

hah yeh! Bet Rita will die... it does crash right into her flat.

I can't really see them killing Carla off even though she is a much loved character, it's not impossible though.

[Scarlett.]

Aye true, I think Carla will become an untouchable though

[CarlaConnor]

hehe.... i hope so..... i love her!!!!! :D

[Scarlett.]

She's kinda like Karen McDonald :p

I wonder if the rumours of the Rovers roof collapsing are true?

[CarlaConnor]

yeah.. iv'e been wondering that too... can you see the rovers on the aftermath pictures???

If the roof does collapse in then i'm guessing the tram would have to go right down the street which of course would be a little too far really. :D

[Scarlett.]

Well the roof might collapse on the whole terrace - we haven't seen many afternath pics since the early ones

[flamingGalah!]

I don't think any other properties other than the ones we already know about are going to be affected. That Rovers "rumour" was simply sloppy journalism that assumed the bar having its roof collapse would be the Rovers, when infact it is the new bar...

It's still weird to think how they have trashed the exterior set. The main terrace has been there since 1982 & The Kabin since 1989/1990... Going to be an amazing episode & I am so glad I have ITV HD!! :D...

Indeed, I reckon No.13 eventually collapses too

['Conor]

why does everyone tink molly is gonna die?

[Scarlett.]

Because she works in the Corner Shop and is leaving :p

['Conor]

Because she works in the Corner Shop and is leaving :p

ooh ok, but like janice is leaving to? so is claire peacock

[Scarlett.]

Aye, but Molly seems the fave - But then, maybe her dying is too obvious?

['Conor]

oh ok, do you think more than 3 will die

[Scarlett.]

I think so, the producers did say "at least three people will die"

['Conor]

id say at least 15 or so will die, well id say about 5 main characters, but theres extras like you no the tram driver and passengers on tram

[Scarlett.]

Aye, if a lot of extra's die it will lend to the story

['Conor]

Aye, if a lot of extra's die it will lend to the story

should be good.

so theres an explosion in this new bar thats gonna open under the tram track? and thats why the tram goes off the rails? does someone start the explosion or was it accidental?

[Patrick]

yea, they need all sorts really.

Double spread national newspapers, like they did with the only way is essex (like wtf?!?!)
idents
10 sec trailers

It isn't that big :bored:

But LMFAO at them doing that with TOWIE :joker::joker::joker::joker:

[Scarlett.]

We're not sure yet :p
It isn't that big :bored:

But LMFAO at them doing that with TOWIE :joker::joker::joker::joker:

It's big enough for them to send helicopters over regularly so I don't see why they wouldn't do a double page spread, I mean, the show is half a century old

[flamingGalah!]

I definitely think Janice is going to die as well... Can't stand her anyway :xyxwave:

Only a few weeks to go now til we see this on air!! :D

[Callum]

Are they all crew or the cast in that last pic? ^

[Scarlett.]

Crew I think lol

[Smithy]

:amazed:

[Scarlett.]

The bunch of dead people in the first pic are extras though

[Smithy]

rofl, I didn't even notice them

[Tom]

It isn't that big :bored:

But LMFAO at them doing that with TOWIE :joker::joker::joker::joker:

WHAT?! I'm not an avid fan but even the blindest of viewers can tell Corrie is the most iconic show on British TV and its the most watched soap on TV.
