Last month, Coronation Street bosses confirmed that they're cancelling filming amid the outbreak of coronavirus and it appears that now they could run out of episodes.
Since they stopped recording new episodes, the schedule for the ITV soap changed from airing every single week day to just Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Even though soap bosses usually film weeks in advance, Andy Whyment - aka Kirk Sutherland - has hinted that the show may be forced to go off air because they're running out of episodes.
“We worked up until the Friday when Boris [Johnson] closed all the pubs and clubs.
“We had a schedule to work until the following Thursday then on the Sunday we got an email saying they were standing everyone down. It was the right thing to do," he told The Sun.
