However, one Corrie star who was supposed to appear in this week\u2019s dramatic scenes has had to be written out due to Coronavirus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Pride of Britain Awards last week, soap star Lisa George, who plays Beth Tinkler, revealed to the Mirror that Covid forced her to be cut from the upcoming episodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI got Covid, so I got cut from the scenes,\u201d she confirmed.<\/p>\n

Lisa, 52, added: \u201cI was gutted as I really liked the scenes as well, it was super soap week and there was a sudden rush of Covid and we were dropping like flies, and unfortunately I got it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having been absent from filming, Lisa admitted that she has no clue what to expect from the re-writes so now she\u2019ll be as surprised as viewers when the scenes air this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While many crew members were also struck down by Covid, Lisa didn\u2019t confirm which of her co-stars were also affected by the illness and who, if any, will also be missing from the upcoming episodes.<\/p>\n

This week marks the third month of Lisa\u2019s absence from Corrie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to contracting Coronavirus in September, she took some time off the soap to travel in August. At the same time, she was waiting for a new contract, which she now has.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She had previously sparked exit rumours because she admitted to Women\u2019s Weekly that Call the Midwife would be a dream role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lisa admitted the rumours took her by surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI was asked about my contract and I said I was waiting, and so they asked what I\u2019d like to do if I didn\u2019t get one and I said Call The Midwife. That\u2019s all I said. It was a passing comment, then the next thing, everyone is ringing me like, \u2018you\u2019re leaving, you\u2019re leaving.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
