Coronation Street's Rita Sullivan is apparently set to sell her corner shop.

The newsagent - played by Barbara Knox, 74 - has run The Kabin for years and it's become a cornerstone of the soap, the perfect place for characters to meet and gossip.

But according to the Daily Star, Rita decides she's ready to retire and puts the shop up for sale.

Property developer Tony Gordon (Gray O'Brien) is delighted as he plans to buy it and turn it into an extension of lingerie factory Underworld.

He and his partner, Underworld boss Carla Connor (Alison King) try to make Rita an offer she can't refuse for the shop, plus a new luxury flat.

As part of their development plans they also offer garage-owner Kevin Webster (Michael L Vell) an offer for his business, which apparently includes a 10,000 pound "sweetener".

Tony's so confident both the deals will go through he reportedly tells Carla: "Everyone has their price."

But Norris, who works with Rita, is devastated as he hoped he'd take over The Kabin. The street busy-body - played by Malcolm Hebden - tells everyone Rita has "sold her morals" for a fat cheque.

But Corrie fans needn't worry - according to the Star, Rita, who has been in the soap since 1964, isn't leaving the street.

If you think that Coronation Street’s new boozer looks strangely familiar, that’s because it’s actually Emmerdale’s Woolpack. Confused? Then allow us to explain. In an amazing move, ITV bosses have sanctioned the use of the Emmerdale local as the set for Nelson’s Bar, which Corrie landlady Liz McDonald buys to compete against her old pub, the Rovers Return.

In episodes to be screened in July, a mock-up of The Woolpack, based at Corrie’s Manchester studios, will double as Nelson’s. The bar will feature heavily when Liz and husband Vernon become fed up with their jobs at the Rovers and decide to buy a rival watering hole.

“The reason we’re using the Woolpack set is mainly to do with ease of filming,” a Street spokesman told the Daily Star. “It’s also more cost effective to use the set than it would be to go on location and take over a local pub in Manchester for the day.” Oh, and that creaking sound you can hear is Annie Walker turning in her grave.

I think we've already established that using the Woolpack has been made up (confirmed by Digitalspy) but the rest of the story sounds true- wonder why Liz would want to rival her son's pub?

[Tom]

Aren't they using the real Rovers Return inside Granada Studios to film the 'new' pub?

[Scarlett.]

Aye, but it looks kinda empty, so maybe they will do it up a bit
