Coronation Street actress Harriet Bibby is set to be the first of the ITV soap's cast to film in the newly unveiled Weatherfield Precinct. The new part of the set, which has been referenced by characters on the cobbles for decades, was revealed for the first time on Thursday (December 1) with Harriet among the stars seeing it for the first time.
The 24-year-old, who plays Summer Spellman in the ITV soap, was joined by on-screen boyfriend James Craven (Aaron Sanford), Elle Mulvaney (Amy Barlow), Channique Sterling Brown (Dee-Dee Bailey), Daniel Brocklebank (Billy Mayhew), Colson Smith (Craig Tinker), Jack P Shepherd (David Platt), Antony Cotton (Sean Tully), Sally Dynevor (Sally Metcalfe), Tanisha Gorey (Asha Alahan), and Jimmi Harkishin (Dev Alahan).
Viewers will soon get to see the Weatherfield residents as they head over to the two storey construction which features maisonettes, a staircase and balcony leading to the properties, a piazza and an array of accessible local shops - including a bakery, dessert shop, and a charity shop - as well as a children’s park and play area with swings and a roundabout.
