Coronation Street bosses have already cut down to three episode a week due to the outbreak of coronavirus but now it's been reported that they only have 20 episodes left.
In March, following government guidelines, Corrie stopped filming and decide to space out their pre-recorded episode but it looks like they could run out in July if they don't resume filming soon.
According to soap website Eastieoaks the long-running soap only had 21 episodes left - but following last night's episodes that means there's only 20 remaining.
This isn't the first time there's been speculation that episodes will run out in the summer.
Andy Whyment - aka Kirk Sutherland - previously explained, "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."

It's not yet known when lockdown will end but it has been reported that cast members over 70 could be BANNED from set.
“It’s a huge risk to remove some of Corrie’s biggest stars, but far riskier to allow them on set,” said a source.
“In one respect, it’s much simpler to focus on the storylines involving younger actors for whom returning to filming is less of a risk.
"But it’s also a nightmare for the producers because an unusually large chunk of the show’s cast are elderly and many of them had ongoing storylines sketched out for them months in advance."
Hopefully things will get back to normal soon because in December Corrie will celebrate its 60th anniversary.
