Coronation Street worried about losing their jobs

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Coronation Street’ cast are reportedly worried about their jobs after executive producer Kieran Roberts announced he was leaving the soap.
The show boss – who has worked on the programme for 16 years – revealed he was quitting his position last month in order to try his hand at other things but, although the cast are happy for him, they’re concerned that his replacement will wreak havoc for them if they decide to axe some people.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “There’s both excitement and anxiety among the top cast. There are some high-earning stars on ‘Coronation Street’ and a new exec producer could mean wholesale changes. Some of them could see their days on the cobbles numbered. Hopefully someone with a similar vision to Kieran, who has overseen some of the biggest storylines the soap has had, will come in and there won’t be too much upheaval.”
Kieran had been toying with the idea of walking away from the show since the beginning of the year, but decided to extend his stay because he didn’t want to leave the cast and crew in the lurch when producers decided to extend the schedule to six episodes a week at end of September.
He said: “This has been a huge and very difficult decision and it’s one I have been thinking about for more than a year. When the move to six episodes was announced, I knew I should stay to help make that happen.
“I’ve been incredibly lucky to have worked on so many wonderful programmes and with so many brilliant colleagues during my time at ITV.
“‘Coronation Street’ is a special place and it’s been a huge privilege working on such an amazing programme with the greatest team in television.”
