By and large, the ITV soaps have this standard pathway. Wherever a producer comes from (Iain MacLeod, for example, has his roots in Hollyoaks), they land on Emmerdale as showrunner, and will invariably move over to Coronation Street.

Kieran Roberts, Steve November (previously Frost), Stuart Blackburn, Kate Oates, Iain MacLeod, etc

A few, namely Phil Collinson, did not follow that path.

I’ve been really enjoying the show the last few weeks. Of all of the soaps I think Corrie utilizes modern tech/social media the best, this Leeanne cult story and Lauren disappearance/Roy witch hunt being great examples of how to modernize old school storyline setups.

So Carla is going to enter into a relationship with DS Swain. Wow. 

At this point it's giving the same vibes of GL's Otalia (Olivia and Natalia), forced and done simply to garner headlines.

Helen Worth leaves the show after 50 years. I liked Gail but I’m not that devastated that she’s leaving coz she had no real storylines anymore and her voice. She can’t do anything for it but her voice really gets under my skin and not in a good way. But she deserves her retirement

Good for her bowing out at her own will. I do think though that she would've remained as long as she wanted. That's one thing I'll give to Corrie unlike most soaps, they'll keep their vets till the bitter end. I don't imagine they'll kill Gail. I think they'll give her a nice sendoff where she'll opt to retire somewhere abroad and keep her alive offscreen.
