Corrie boss doesn’t have show ‘hit list’
Iain Macleod CORONATION Street’s new boss has told anxious fans he doesn’t have a “hit list” of characters to kill off.
Iain Macleod said “only an idiot” would try to “change the show’s DNA”.
He added: “I’m the custodian of that DNA and that tone, so no, I don’t intend to do anything radically different.”
His first shows in charge will air on Virgin One in the run-up to Christmas.
Macleod said: “It will be, as it has always been on Corrie, an evolution.
“I haven’t got a hit list. I’m not going to be packing loads of people on to a bus that will .... ‘Oh, it’s gone off a cliff, what a shame’.
“I think our viewers are very canny and they see that for what it is and it looks a bit cynical.”
