Corrie Releases Statement on Manchester Attack

Following the horrific attack in Manchester last night, a Coronation Street spokesman has released a statement to Mirror Online.

It reads: "Everyone at Coronation Street is shocked by the tragic event at the Manchester Arena. Our thoughts are with the victims and the families of those who have lost their life or been injured. We stand together with the people of Manchester at this sad time."

Filming for the show is continuing today.

A message was also sent out from the official Corrie Twitter account. It said: "We love Manchester, it is our home. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by last night's tragic events."

Here at the Coronation Street Blog, our hearts and prayers go to the family of Corrie fan Martyn Hett, creator of the Audrey Roberts Noise, uber-Corrie fan and a hugely popular part of the online Corrie community.   Martyn was at the concert last night and has not been seen since. 

Earlier today, Corrie actors Sally Dynevor and Connie Hyde (Sally and Gina) were interviewed this morning on Good Morning Britain by Piers Morgan.  The presenter has come under fire for his comments about the attack, comments for which both Corrie actors challenged him, and rightly so. Digital Spy have the story.
