Coronation Street announces former Emmerdale boss Kate Brooks as new producer

Coronation Street announces former Emmerdale boss Kate Brooks as new producer. She's got a great track record in soap.

She joined the show in 2012 and worked on some very memorable stories including the brutal murder of Tina McIntyre, Hayley’s death and the arrival of Pat Phelan. She worked alongside Laura Shaw and Jane Hudson on Meena Jutla’s murderous rampage around the village, the return of Mandy Dingle and Lydia’s rape, as well as many more. “Corrie has lit up my living room since I was a kid, so to be asked to produce a show I’ve revered for such a long time is the ultimate ‘pinch me’ moment,” said Kate.
