Emmerdale and Coronation Street’s older cast could be banned from set due to coronavirus when soaps return to filming
SOAP bosses have said some of Emmerdale and Coronation Street’s high-risk, older cast members could be banned from set once filming resumes. ITV programme boss Kevin Lygo said he didn’t want actors like Corrie’s William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, or Chris Chittell, who plays Emmerdale’s Eric Pollard, to “get sick” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
