But this one today about Phil Collinson leaving at the end of the year has given me a chuckle.
The Sunday Mirror says that Corrie producer Phil Collinson will be leaving Corrie earlier than he'd planned. Not only that, they say that Phil plans to blow up the Rovers Return as his parting shot and kill off some Corrie characters.
So let's see - who would you want to be killed off if there was such an explosion at Christmas? Leave your comments below...
Me? I think regular readers already know which Corrie character I'd like to go and never come back.
