Several lives are going to be left hanging in the balance in the soaps upcoming bus crash. And after the first pictures from the shoot emerged last week, the Coronation Street cast were back at work over the weekend filming the action-packed storyline, which will see Steve McDonald crash a mini bus filled with Underworld lingerie factorys staff. It is not yet known which characters will be injured in the accident, but Steves girlfriend Michelle is thought to be in danger, as is Tracy Barlow. The van was seen lying on its side in a quarry in Derbyshire, looking badly damaged and dented. The incident occurs when Steve is recruited to drive the staff of local factory Underworld on their Christmas night out. But revelry soon leads to conflict after a sports car cuts them off, resulting in an enraged Steve giving chase – with disastrous consequences. The forthcoming episode, which airs in December, was filmed in chilly conditions on location in Manchester on Wednesday evening. Those on set included Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully, and Sally Dynevour – who was spotted filming a scene as Sally Webster on the back of their white Streetcars minibus with Andy Whyment, who plays Kirk Sutherland, and comparative newcomer Sair Khan, who plays Alya Nazir. Actress Alison King – better known to viewers as Carla Connor on the popular show – was later seen smoking a cigarette while idling between takes. Elsewhere Kym Marsh sported a glittering evening gown and cropped faux-fur jacket as she checked message son her phone. As cameras rolled the minibus drove alongside the offending sports car, which appeared to be occupied by two young men – one of whom gesticulated wildly at the people carrier. Referring to the imminent crash, show producer Stuart Blackburn admitted it will have dire consequences. ‘The crash is going to have proper implications. Its not going to be one of those storylines where everyone is up and walking again the day after like nothing has happened,’ he told us. ‘I always like stories to bring consequence and change, so there will be consequences from the crash - some not so good, but some will actually be really positive. Itll be a biggie!’ Speaking to us, Gregson admitted that Steve and Michelle will eventually resolve the differences that have previously disrupted their relationship. Obviously, this story has to go through a journey. When we get back together we dont know as yet, but we know we do. There has to be a journey to take with it. The shoot will continue in Manchester throughout the week.
