Coronation Street's 15th anniversary was marked by an ambitious storyline in which the Mark Brittain Warehouse was accidentally set alight, starting an inferno which claimed the life of Edna Gee and caused the Street to be evacuated. Episode 1536, set in the aftermath of the fire, was the first script written by Tony Warren since 1969. The storyline saw the first fleeting appearance of Edna's husband Fred, played by Fred Feast, who would return full-time the following year. The warehouse was subsequently closed permanently.

  • Coronation Street's 15th anniversary was marked by an ambitious storyline in which the Mark Brittain Warehouse was accidentally set alight, starting an inferno which claimed the life of Edna Gee and caused the Street to be evacuated. Episode 1536, set in the aftermath of the fire, was the first script written by Tony Warren since 1969. The storyline saw the first fleeting appearance of Edna's husband Fred, played by Fred Feast, who would return full-time the following year. The warehouse was subsequently closed permanently. Having failed to meet expectations, the Hopkins family were written out at the end of the Gordon Clegg parentage storyline, with only Kathy Jones kept on. Tricia Hopkins maintained a large role, particularly in comedic storylines alongside Helen Worth's Gail Potter. Other cast comings and goings included Geoffrey Hughes reprising Eddie Yeats for a longer stint following his successful debut, and the exit of Billy Walker following Kenneth Farrington's resignation. As plans for Billy and Deirdre Hunt's wedding were an an advanced stage when the actor quit, the plans were altered so that Deirdre would marry Ray Langton instead. On 17th October, Graham Haberfield passed away at the young age of 34, suffering a fatal heart attack as a result of a liver condition. Out of respect to Haberfield's loved ones, Jerry Booth was killed off without fanfare in Episode 1546. A new title sequence was introduced in Episode 1500 in June. This sequence would be the shortest-lived in the programme's history, but it is notable for being the first to contain images shot on the set itself. Due to a strike by the ACTT union in May and June, three episodes of Coronation Street went unrecorded. These episodes had already been assigned production codes, and therefore are included in Granada's episode numbering. An episode was also dropped later in the year on Monday 22nd December, when a Christmas-themed clip show later known by the title Annie and Betty's Coronation Street Memories was shown in Coronation Street's slot.
