On The Sofa with Colson, Jack and Ben
"I typed that!" - The Life of A Corrie Writer
✍️ Coronation Street Writer Debbie Oates joins us again today to discuss the inner workings of writing for the show. Everything from being drafted in to write romance on action-adventure shows when the men felt out of their depth, to taking lines from what she hears people say on the bus, it's a fascinating insight into the life of a key pillar of Corrie.
