Caravanners who holiday at Windermere in the Lake District may have noticed a bit of a hullabaloo on the site recently.
This is because Coronation Street was on location filming what is believed to be the demise of Joe McIntyre.
In the soap, the kitchen fitter has debt problems and is set to attempt to fix them by faking his own death when a tragedy occurs and he loses his life for real, the North West Evening Mail revealed.
Furthermore, those staying at Windermere who watch the show – set to be aired in the new year – might recognise one of the detectives investigating the accident as 51-year-old caravan park manager Chris Dodd.
While not running the holiday site, Mr Dodd has been pursuing an acting career, working as an extra for the past nine years.
“My granddaughter is a big Corrie fan and she’s really looking forward to seeing me on the telly,” he told the newspaper.
According to Museum.tv, the show celebrated its 49th anniversary earlier this week (December 9th).
