A PINT-sized actor made his big break – literally – in a dramatic soap storyline in Blackpool.

Little Alex Bain, aka Coronation Street cutie Simon Barlow, who burst on to our screens in October 2008, is currently filming his biggest scenes so far on North Pier.

ITV crews set up camp yesterday to film scenes with Simon and his grandparents George and Eve, who take the youngster on a day trip to the resort.

But the happy holiday scenes take a dramatic turn when the youngster makes a break for it and gets lost in Blackpool amid scenes of stag and hen party goers.

Naomi Sloyan, location manager for Coronation Street, said: "We often film in Blackpool when there are happy family scenes.

"Everyone in Blackpool is always so accommodating and we have a
really good relationship with the owners of the piers and Mike Chadwick, of Blackpool Tourism, is always very helpful.

"North Pier was cleared out from around 11am until late on in the evening yesterday, while we filmed scenes.

"We're restricting filming to very close to the pier as we're tight for time and this means we don't have to move about much.

"We stay in Blackpool until 3am on Friday."

A similar missing child storyline was cancelled three years ago after the Street bosses feared there were too many similarities to the tragic Madeleine McCann case.

But insiders have insisted that the previous plot, which would have seen Freddie Peacock snatched from his bedroom by family friend Casey Carswell, is not a kidnapping storyline.

When Simon's grandparents make the disturbing discovery he is missing, the pair are joined by his dad Peter, and his girlfriend Leanne Battersby, played by actors Chris Gasgoyne and Jane Danson.

I would love to visit Winter Gardens one day.:blush:

Smithy
The Winter Gardens I would love to visit is in Blackpool to see the building.

Actually I went to blackpool with my husband to watch a dancing competition in mid 1970s. (long time ago ,,, he he he)

When the next day we arrived there, he decided to go to casino.
Then it was a usual story for him, he lost all his money and we had to cut our holiday short and came home. Even he borrowed petrol money from me. (He never had a credit card)

We were a social dancer, but I wanted to dance at Winter Gardens.
But my husband is not well now so if we have a chance to go there, it will be just to see the beautiful ballroom.

The frontage of Winter Gardens has been done up :D

:)

Ciaran has come back !:elephant::elephant::elephant:

Oh Peter.

He almost started to drink,,,.:eek:

I missed tonights episode

No~~~

I watched the repeat, good episodes

:)

It was a Betty's 90th Birthday yesterday. Amazing she is still working.:blush:

It is very nice to see many old characters on air, but I am concerned it might put young people off. The balance is difficult.

We can not afford to lose young audience.

I feel sorry for leanne all her hard work and he messed it all up,ken was right all along.
