Default Kim Crowther and Anita Turner take over Corrie and Emmerdale

Two of ITV's biggest programmes are preparing for a shakeup as Steve Frost and Kathleen Beedles have quit their soap production roles after two years.

Frost and Beedles – Producer of Coronation Street and Series Producer of Emmerdale respectively – will have both vacated their offices by the beginning of next year.

A spokeswoman for the broadcaster said: "Producers normally work on successful dramas like Coronation Street and Emmerdale for two to three years so their departures are perfectly in keeping with the way soaps work."

The pair will remain with ITV in "new but unspecified roles".

So it will be an improvement to Emmerdale, and hopefully the new Corrie producer will change the opening titles and keep the show as good as it is

but whats wrong with putting 1 hour episodes up???ok the last when was pointless because there was no big storyline but every other time they did it,they wone.so putting 1 hour episodes up is only going to make Emmerdale more sucsessfull.

ITV names soap supremos
Ben Dowell Guardian Unlimited Thursday November 15 2007 ITV today appointed Kim Crowther to the top job on Coronation Street, while Anita Turner will take the helm at Emmerdale, MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal.

Crowther, who began working on Coronation Street more than six years ago and left in 2004 to develop other projects for ITV, will take the top post of producer in the new year to allow a handover period with the current producer, Steve Frost.


Soap supremos: Anita Turner, left, and Kim Crowther Frost will bow out at the end of March after two-and-a-half years. Kieran Roberts, the controller of drama for ITV in Manchester, will continue his role as executive producer.

Meanwhile at Emmerdale, Anita Turner, a former script editor on the series who has been working at independent Lime Pictures for the past two years, will take over from series producer Kath Beedles in January and be based in Leeds.

Both Frost and Beedles will remain with ITV Productions taking on what the network calls "important new roles in the drama department".

One of Beedles' first projects will be an Emmerdale related spin-off, which she hopes to produce during 2008.

The controller of drama for ITV in Leeds, Keith Richardson, continues his role as Emmerdale's executive producer.

Crowther, who joined Coronation Street as script editor in 2001 and quickly progressed to the role of series editor, said: "From my time as series editor while Richard Hillman gripped the nation, through to the current meltdown of David Platt, Corrie has proved it does things differently, having the ability to move, amuse and excite its audience all at the same time.

"I'm looking forward to building on the show's recent successes while creating must-see storylines for 2008 and beyond."

Turner has worked in television for 20 years, during which she has worked as script editor on Emmerdale and Coronation Street. She has also script edited Holby City.

Most recently, Turner was the development editor and script editor on a new drama, Apparitions, produced by Liverpool-based indie Lime Pictures.

"Thirty-five years and Emmerdale is still fantastic. Being given the chance to help it go from strength to strength is such an honour - I can't wait," she said.

The director of ITV Productions, John Whiston, said: "It's a time of change for the soaps. In the last couple of years under Steve and Kath and their teams, both soaps have defied gravity and held on to their massive audiences while all around were losing theirs.

"Both Steve and Kath are a terribly tough act to follow. That's why we are all thrilled that we've got Kim and Anita to step into their shoes. These jobs require passion, judgment, diplomacy, invention and above all superhuman stamina.

"I'm also just as excited that we've persuaded Steve and Kath to stay within the company. We will be unleashing them soon into the wider drama arena where I know they will deliver great new shows for ITV Productions."
