Corrie’s Death Rate shocker!
The first ever episode of Coronation Street was broad-casted live on December 9th 1960. Since then, millions of viewers have regularly tuned in to see the trials and tribulations of the various cast members who have graced the beloved small screen that is Corrie. Over the last 5 decades, there has been 120 deaths on Corrie, with around 80 of them being premature (i.e. murdered, accident, suicide).
Now, this little statistic makes 66% of deaths in Corrie an unnatural one… So why do people live there?! I must admit, that in my small little town, very few people die, and I have yet to read about a muder, although we have had a few fatal car accidents.
So why do soaps have such a high mortality rate?
