Had a look at the plans, interesting that the new set is gonna be more closed in, and use big background facades like Coronation Street (there's even gonna be a brewey one, lol)

[Ashley.]

I hope they bring in some new businesses. Everyone will be working on the market before too long!

The layout of the new set is in this pic

They've gotten rid of a few areas I think

Also these will be the new backdrops

Apparently the area where the current set in will actually be used to build other areas of Walford

Perched for a comet to land on Walford so they have an excuse as to why Ian's door is a different type of wood :clap1:

You'll probably not see much of a difference, still gets me how similar Corrie's is to their old one, lol.

i just think they need to bring it more up to date - the only soap that can get away with staying as it is is emmerdale - purely because of its location.

the rest of them have to move with the times.
