ITV’s recently opened Coronation Street Experience has announced tickets go on sale today for the ‘Corrie event of a lifetime,’ as they give fans the chance to watch a crucial, nail biting, episode sitting in the room with the main character.
On Friday, October 13 at the Coronation Street Experience, soap queen and This Morning soap expert Sharon Marshall will take control as host as the event celebrates the legacy of Corrie and villain Stephen Reid, portrayed by Todd Boyce.
Guests will take a seat in the viewing room alongside Stephen, to watch live with the rest of the nation and discover if he will escape justice or finally pay for his crimes. Then, as the closing credits play and the rest of the UK goes to put the kettle on, they will join a group Q&A session with the man himself, giving them a unique behind the scenes experience of what it’s like to be Corrie’s latest bad boy.
Premium ticket holders will also get the chance to meet Boyce for a one-to-one chat and photo opp behind the bar of the replica Rovers.
ITV’s controller of global brand licensing (UK) James Penfold said: “We know the viewers want the chance to connect more closely with our programmes and at Corrie our new visitor centre gives us the opportunity to do just that.
“It’s exciting for all of us to be able to give fans the chance to experience something unique. This event is the start of a series of special evenings which we hope will not only give fans memories for a lifetime, it will also give our cast and crew the chance to meet the people who make the show what it is, our viewers.”
Actor Boyce added: “I can’t wait to watch our fans watch me, with me, as my storyline heads towards one of its biggest moments yet. That said, I’m slightly nervous at their reaction – they all know what Stephen’s been up to, I’m just hoping Sharon is as good a bodyguard as I know she will be a host.”
