Why is Coronation Street Not on Tonight? Its Spoilers and More Details Explained

Why is Coronation Street Not on Tonight?

Tonight’s episode of Coronation Street has been postponed because of the National Television Awards (NTAs), which are being broadcast instead.

The awards show, hosted by Joel Dommett, will feature several soap operas, including Coronation Street, competing for the Best Serial Drama award. Coronation Street is also up for other awards, with actors like Peter Ash and David Neilson nominated for Best Serial Drama Performance.

The show was originally scheduled to air tonight, but it has been moved to a later date to make way for the NTAs. Fans will have to wait until Friday to catch the next episode of Coronation Street.

Coronation Street

Coronation Street, commonly known as Corrie, is a British soap opera that has been on ITV since December 9, 1960. It is set on a cobbled street in the fictional town of Weatherfield, which is based on Salford, the hometown of its creator, Tony Warren.

The show began airing twice a week but switched to six times a week in 2017. It was initially rejected by ITV's founder Sidney Bernstein but was later produced as a pilot series by producer Harry Elton. Over the years, Corrie has become an important part of British culture.

Produced by ITV Studios at MediaCityUK, Coronation Street is known for its portrayal of working-class life with a mix of drama and humor. It is recognized as the world’s longest-running TV soap opera and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2020, marking its 10,000th episode earlier that year. The show attracts around five million viewers per episode.

Coronation Street Spoilers

The latest storyline in Coronation Street has been deeply emotional and dramatic. Paul Foreman, played by Peter Ash, has been at the center of a heart-wrenching storyline involving motor neurone disease (MND). Over the past 18 months, viewers have watched Paul's condition worsen as he gradually lost his mobility and struggled with speech.

In the most recent episode, which aired on Monday, Paul’s condition took a tragic turn, leading to his death. His husband, Billy (Daniel Brocklebank), was racing to be by Paul's side but arrived too late, only to find out that Paul had already passed away. This devastating moment was compounded by a heart-breaking misunderstanding where Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) mistakenly informed Billy that Paul was still alive and listening.

As a result of this emotional storyline, Paul’s death has left his family grappling with their grief and the harsh reality of moving forward without him. Billy is seen struggling with the empty wheelchair and the heavy burden of his loss.

In addition to this, the show is also exploring other dramatic elements, including Tracy's decision about her future in Spain, the disappearance of Tyrone's children Ruby and Dorin, and ongoing tension involving cult leader Rowan and investigations into Joel’s actions.

The show has been making headlines not just for its intense plotlines but also because it’s competing for awards at the National Television Awards tonight, which is why tonight's episode has been postponed. Fans will have to wait until Friday to see how these storylines continue to unfold.
