✍️ Coronation Street Writer Debbie Oates joins us again today to discuss the inner workings of writing for the show. Everything from being drafted in to write romance on action-adventure shows when the men felt out of their depth, to taking lines from what she hears people say on the bus, it's a fascinating insight into the life of a key pillar of Corrie. 📩 Who behind the scenes of soap or TV would you most like to hear us chat to?
