He was a great double act with Blanche. Corrie needs an interfering busybody like Norris although Gail Force isn't doing a bad job since she got her P45 from the Medical Centre.

There are plenty of useless characters who deserve to be crushed by a Tram before Nozza

Coronation Street's series producer Phil Collinson has revealed that he wants the soap's forthcoming live episode to be like a "disaster movie".

The long-running show will air live as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations in December, and reports have suggested that the special edition will focus on the aftermath of the upcoming tram crash stunt.

Speaking to Inside Soap about what is in store, Collinson explained: "In the first instance, I thought we wouldn't go live, but quickly realised we should. I think we can deliver the most spectacular piece of live television people have ever seen.

"Coronation Street has such a heritage - the first episodes were filmed that way, and we did it ten years ago. My ambition is for the episode to be like a disaster movie with stunts.

"It'll be action-packed. I want people to sit at home and think, 'There's no way they did that live, not in a million years!'"

Alison King - who plays Carla Connor on the show - recently told DS that she is feeling nervous over her involvement in the episode.

Filming on the set of Coronation Street was reportedly halted yesterday after a fault was noticed within the tram crash set.

According to The Sun, one of the show's biggest characters was about to film their final scenes when the temporary scenery began to wobble.

A source said: "The lighting was attached to scaffolding but it got overloaded. There was a danger of the actor being crushed to death. Fortunately it was spotted in time."

Major characters are expected to be killed off when a tram crashes onto the Street as part of the show's 50th birthday celebrations.

Coronation Street newcomer Paula Lane has revealed her excitement over the soap's forthcoming 50th anniversary episodes.

The actress, who plays Becky Granger's irresponsible half-sister Kylie, insisted that show bosses will be able to deliver a fitting tribute to the programme's long history in December.

Speaking on This Morning about the upcoming milestone, Lane explained: "There's a lot of anticipation - but it's excitement and there's a lot of buzz around it.

"We all want to make it like the pinnacle year for the 50th, so next year we can reap all the rewards. So everyone's just wanting to do their best I think.

"Obviously we don't know a lot of our storylines that are coming up in the live ep, it's all hush hush, but we trust in the producers. They know what they are doing."

Reflecting on her first few months at Corrie, she added: "I love it, I just feel so at home. From the day I walked in, I really felt like 'I belong here', and that's what I love about it. It's like a big family."

Lane's character will soon be at the centre of a shock storyline which sees her offering to sell her son Max to Becky, who is desperate for a child.
