Soaps don't often develop their exterior sets so it's refreshing to see Corrie capitalising on their chance to construct more housing at a time when it's inevitable new characters will soon begin descending on the Cobbles.

As for which regulars could take up residence in Victoria Court, keep an ear out in the scripts for subtle hints about certain characters wanting a more luxurious lifestyle. Catching up with Corrie last night, I heard Kelly chatting to the factory girls about how she's using Cosmic Ordering in the hope it brings her money and a flashy new flat...

Who do you think will end up living in the new flats? What sort of new character would you like to see move to Weatherfield? Let me know your thoughts using the form below!
