Oh yeah definitely, blows a pub fire out the water but just the idea of destroying the pub (main feature of the soap).

Really excited for it to happen!
And at least there will be some deaths too, lmao.

but like I said, it'd affect a row of houses, a bar, a shop and a post office, different from EE in many ways

BUT, I don't think this spoiler is true, it seems far fetched, not to mention they said Thomas Ormson plays David Platt, when Jack P. Shepherd does

Oh wait, it's the mirror

They're the ones that reported Tina's rape

Aye, though, if were gonna go with that, Corrie was the first to do it in the Rovers fire of 1986 xD

Indeed, I can believe her becoming a barmaid, but like I said it sounds far fetched, they couldn't destory the terraced row, it's been there since 1960

Yeah exactly. Theres a limited amount of plot lines so ultimately its going to look like the soaps are copying each other.

Aye, and due to my job, I only have time to watch Corrie (on the ITV Player) now, so I don't really care what the other soaps are doing lol

Considering the theme that runs along side our soaps, then yes there will always be similarities.

Just like there will be between Star Wars & Star Trek, or True Blood and Vampire Diaries etc....

Old news it may be, but because it hasn't happened yet, then it's fun to speculate, it's what keeps some of these threads alive.

Also this maybe old news to you, but to some they might have just read about it.

lol I heard a tram going along the end of my street with the horn blaring non stop

And I agree, soaps are always going to have similarities

[flamingGalah!]

They have their info mixed up a bit... It's the Joinery bar roof that collapses, not the Rovers... The Rover's wont be affected at all...
