Cost-cutting Measures
Coronation Street is facing a crisis as bosses at the ITV soap implement drastic measures to secure the show's production amidst financial constraints. Cast members are reportedly on edge as their scenes are being cut in a bid to reduce costs.
Backlash Behind the Scenes
The changes, which include slashing the number of extras and increasing back-to-back filming, have sparked fury among the cast. With concerns rising about the uncertainty of their futures, there is a palpable sense of unrest behind the scenes.
Morale Plunge and Ratings Dip
As morale on set takes a hit and ratings drop to just 3 million viewers, down from highs of 24 million in its prime, the cost-saving measures are causing waves of unease among the cast and crew.
New Leadership and Industry Shifts
With the departure of a sponsor and the appointment of a new Executive Producer, Kate Brooks, the show is undergoing significant changes. Brooks will now oversee both Coronation Street and Emmerdale as the industry navigates through challenging times.
