Coronation Street's stars have been banned from disposing of their own scripts following a number of "embarrassing incidents".
Show producers feared that the cast were growing careless after full scripts were discovered by members of the public in a variety of different places, including skips, a bus stop and scattered in the middle of a road.
The actors have now been told that they must bring back the top-secret documents at the end of every week to avoid any further leaks.
"There is now a 'count them out and count them in' policy to prevent any more embarrassing incidents where members of the public find discarded scripts," an insider told the Daily Star Sunday. "The new rules will hopefully mean no more gaffes."
Speaking about the cast members, the source added: "Some are really efficient and bring them back every week. But some of the more forgetful ones still hoard them.
"The new system is much better than just letting cast members dispose of scripts themselves. Some people were just throwing them out with their household rubbish or putting them in wheelie bins. In some cases we suspect that unscrupulous neighbours may have even been going through stars' bins to find them."
I would have thought that they always take care with their scripts - never imagined they would just bin them
