Coronation Street’s Lisa George has revealed she won’t feature in this week’s Super Soap Week after contracting Coronavirus during filming.
The actress, who plays Beth Tinker, revealed in a new interview that there was a ‘sudden rush of Covid’ within the cast and crew, which meant her future scenes had to be cut from the episodes.
‘I got Covid, so I got cut from the scenes. I was gutted as I really liked the scenes as well, it was super soap week and there was a sudden rush of Covid and we were dropping like flies, and unfortunately I got it as well’, she told the Mirror.
Lisa also said that she doesn’t know anything about the re-writes for the scenes, meaning she’ll find out the changes when they air on ITV.
Elsewhere, Lisa also addressed the recent rumours that she will be leaving Corrie.
The actress previously spoke about having her contract renewed and what shows she’d like to be a part of if she wasn’t in Coronation Street. This led to speculation that she may exit to try something new, but Lisa has now said that she won’t be going anywhere.
‘I’ve got a new contract’, she added to the publication.
‘It’s really weird, everyone was saying you’re leaving, you’re leaving. I was asked about my contract and I said I was waiting, and so they asked what I’d like to do if I didn’t get one and I said Call The Midwife. That’s all I said it was a passing comment then the next thing, everyone is ringing me like, “you’re leaving, you’re leaving”.’
‘I was like no, what’s all this, no, I don’t know anything about it’, Lisa said.
‘It’s just weird I don’t even know how it happened from the passing comment!’.
Last night (October 9), Tim (Joe Duttine) was left fighting for his life after a showdown with Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce).
After the huge scenes, viewers saw Stephen open the boot of Tim’s taxi, which was now parked in the middle of a dark woods, with Tim himself laying in the boot.
Stephen picked up a container full of petrol, and began dousing the car in the flammable liquid.
Just as he was about to set it alight, Stephen was spooked by the sound of a helicopter overhead, and quickly found a place to hide.
But will Tim become his fourth victim?
