Coronation Street could be getting some new cast members

Coronation Street bosses are reportedly set to bring in a raft of fresh characters onto the soap.

The Sun says that the new faces - families who live in two nearby streets - would be brought in when the soap moves to a £30 million set in Salford next year.

A show source said: "The producers plan to bring Rosamund Street and Viaduct Street into things a bit more.

"Those streets have always been on the outskirts - people are referred to as coming from there but you never see much of them."

The source added: "The feeling is that we need fresh characters to spin the action about."

The newspaper reports that the move of the Corrie set, from central Manchester to a new base near Salford's MediaCity, has been delayed for up to six months because of construction setbacks.
