Coronation Street vs Breaking Bad

There's a bizarre snippet in today's Mirror that says Coronation Street's Emily Bishop is set to become addicted to Breaking Bad "in hilarious tribute to US meth drama". 

Now then, I love Breaking Bad. I've just recently discovered it and am half-way through watching the second series.  Anyway, if this story is true, the Mirror says this:

Prim and proper Emily Bishop is set to become hooked on Breaking Bad in a hilarious Corrie tribute to the hit US meth drama.

"I think it is about a diamond dealer... Or does he deal with crystals? I am not sure," Emily  tells Rita. "I am really looking forward to it. I think it is about a diamond dealer... Or does he deal with crystals? I am not sure."

Rita replies: "Well, I love stuff about jewellery."

Turning down a babysitting offer, Emily later explains: "A friend from church has had a fall and broke his hip so I need to go and sit with him. His name is Walter White. He is quite active in the community. It is quite a bad break."

Breaking Bad fans will know that Walter White is the name of the main character in the US show.
