The residents of Coronation Street are about to receive a bombshell, quite literally, when a massive blast devastates Weatherfield. Sean Tully, Vernon Tomlin and Hayley Cropper go missing when the explosion – caused by an old Second World War bomb – rocks the Street, leaving stunned locals fearing the worst.
“Viewers will be left wondering just what’s happened to the three of them,” a show insider revealed. “When the cast heard about the plotline and read it in their scripts, a few of them must have feared this was a perfect way to have a major culling of characters and save on the wage bill.”
The drama begins when Chesney tests out his new metal detector and discovers the unexploded bomb. Police are called to the scene and tell locals to move to the safety of the community centre. But when they make their house to house calls, Sean, Vernon and Hayley are nowhere to be found. The source added: “Viewers will be left wondering just what’s happened to the three of them, especially when they hear the deafening blast of the bomb going off.” Viewers can see the explosive episodes in March.
