The Rovers Return is set to go up in flames in a sensational new storyline on Coronation Street.

Viewers will be left wondering who survives when 6 regular characters are trapped in the blaze. Rumours are already rife that one of the victims may be Cilla Battersby, as Wendi Peters has already announced she is to leave later this year.

One who will definately survive is the Rovers owner Steve McDonald, who will cause an uproar with the regular drinkers when he announces the Rovers will be re-built as a trendy winebar. Leading the protest will be Norris, who will round up the residents and take the story to the Weatherfield Gazette.

An inside source said; "The production team have been aware that the Rovers is starting to look outdated for a while now, and what better way to bring the pub into the present, than with a fire and a refurbishment"

I was just thinking the same thing more soaps are copying storylines from each other now i think all soaps should all be different thats what makes them more interesting!

it did have a fire before cos bet lynch was in the upstairs bedroom at the time if i remember correctley boring why dont they try something else and as for the peacocks having a fire at their house i dont think that would top the murder scene with maxine somehow new ideas needed

[Chloe O'brien]

Its too early to speculate whether they will use a fire at the rover's to conincide with Cilla's departure as we don't know if she is to be killed of or if Wendy will have the door left open for he to re-appear

It could possibly be that the blaze will kill off Paul and Cilla??? I think Corrie needs a big disaster they have not had one for a very long time and maybe they will kill off Vernon "oh happy days".

TROUBLED Coronation Street legend Bev Callard is on her way back to the soap after four months off with a health scare.
The Sun told how fans feared for the actress, famed as Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald, when she failed to turn up for filming in February.

Bev, 52, had suffered money troubles off-set after her dream of running a real-life pub turned sour.

But after recuperating and receiving expert help, the brave star is said by pals to be back to full health and raring to return to work on Monday.

Scriptwriters on the ITV1 show are busily writing her into upcoming plotlines and she should be back on screen within nine weeks.

A Corrie source said: “Bev’s been given the all-clear by experts and will be back on the Street.

The cast are over the moon.

“She’s had a rough ride off-screen in the past year, but Bev’s a fighter and was determined to get back on track as soon as possible.

“It’s great news for viewers too. Liz has consistently been one of their favourite characters — the Street isn’t the same without her.”

Bev’s troubles mounted as she and partner John McEwan poured hundreds of thousands into running a pub in Hale, Cheshire.

They finally had to close it amid the threat of bankruptcy.

Both worked long hours to make the venture a success — yet exhausted Bev was still up at 5am every day to be on set by 7am.

One pal said: “Not only was Bev under incredible stress, she was also working flat out.

"But she’s pulled herself together and finally has that bubbly Bev smile back on her face.

“John’s been a tower of strength for her throughout.”
