Former Coronation Street show writer Daran Little has revealed that the soap had to scrap a huge flood stunt due to budgeting concerns. The event was dubbed ‘Four funerals and a wedding.’ Those who lost their lives were Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns), who didn’t depart this world before telling Sally Metcalfe(Sally Dynevor) that she’d had an affair with Sal’s then-husband, Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) and he’d fathered Molly’s son, Jack; Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold), and an unnamed taxi driver. He and then-fianceé Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) had what they thought would be a deathbed wedding, and when Peter crashed straight after the vows, it didn’t look good.
