Show details - Coronation Street

More about Coronation Street

Set in a fictional Greater Manchester area of Weatherfield, Coronation street is one of the longest-running UK drama series and even has its very own sobriquet 'Corrie'.

First broadcast in 1960 and created by Tony Warren, the show has created many memorable characters over the years such as Elsie Tanner, Bet Lynch and Les Battersby. One of the programme's characters - Ken Barlow - has been in the show since the very first episode. His marriage to fictional wife Deirdre was watched by more people than the Royal Wedding between Charles and Diana the same year.

Some of the more memorable plot lines over the years include Alan Bradley getting hit by a tram in 1989 and Richard Hillman driving the Platt family into the canal in 2003.

Maria convinces herself she's not fit to be a mother and the Connors suggest she move to Ireland. Eventually she agrees, until Carla turns up. She feigns ignorance about the revelation that Tony killed Liam, claiming she left Weatherfield because was she was still in love with Liam and couldn't live a lie with Tony.

Maria buys her story but the police aren't so sure. Eventually Carla resumes her post as head of Underworld and gives the job of number two to Hayley - much to Sally and Rosie's disgust.

As Tony is charged with murder, Michelle launches a blistering attack on him before asking a nervous Carla if she knew her husband killed Liam. Audrey is stunned to see a For Sale board outside Number Eight and even more shocked when Gail reveals she and Joe are engaged. However, when Rick turns up at the house masquerading as a potential buyer, Joe panics.

Sally goes through the garage's accounts, and while Kevin is having fun with Molly at a motel, his wife texts him to say he has some explaining to do.
