Coronation Street is expanding its existing set to include a new precinct, providing a 'grittier' alternative setting to the famous cobbles
But having a new physical set will give scriptwriters the chance to explore storylines beyond the cobbles of Coronation Street itself, ITV said.
"The plans for the shopping area are drawn directly from the real-world Salford environs that inspired the show's creator Tony Warren and exemplify the authenticity and ambition we still prize as we move to hour-long episodes this week."The expansion announcement comes as the ITV series - the most watched soap in the UK - made the move to longer episodes in a new 8pm time slot.
