Corrie's cellar plot to go ahead
Bookie Dan Mason nearly dies when he is locked in a cellar in a dramatic new Coronation Street storyline.

The planned episodes had been thrown into doubt after Austrian father Josef Fritzl hit the headlines for keeping his daughter in his basement for 24 years.

Producers have now given the go-ahead and viewers will see Dan (Matthew Crompton) locked in the cellar of the Rovers with a punctured lung after a fight with landlord Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson).

Compton and co-star Jack Ellis, who plays his dad Harry, will leave the ITV1 soap in the autumn after being axed by producers last month.
