Coronation Street fans are about to get a crew view during the live episode of the soap

Viewers of Coronation Street’s highly anticipated live episode will be able to go behind the scenes as it is happening through an online stream.
The hour-long live episode, celebrating 60 years of ITV, will be accompanied by a second screen experience, whereby for the first time in the show’s 55 year history the audience have the chance to watch what is going on behind the cameras as the episode goes out live.
Eleven hidden cameras have been rigged in and around the Media City based set, which will allow viewers to see the cast and crew work during the episode which will air at 7.30pm on Wednesday.
The stream, hosted by Stephen Mulhern, will broadcast live, so while viewers watch the action unfold on ITV, they will also be able to watch it being made simultaneously on Facebook and itv.com via their laptop, mobile or tablet.
One viewer will get their tweet or Facebook message written on the empty blackboard in the Rovers by the end of the episode, and viewers can choose the music at Lloyd Mullaney and Andrea Beckett’s leaving party by playing along in an interactive poll on Facebook and Twitter.
The episode will feature the culmination of Callum’s reign of terror over the Platt family, along with Lloyd and Andrea’s leaving party in the Rovers, Roy Cropper and Cathy Matthews getting closer and Tim Metcalfe finding out about Sally Webster’s secret kiss with her ex Kevin.
After the episode, Mulhern will interview the cast as they come off air and reveal behind-the-scenes secrets in a special show airing on ITV2 at 10pm.
