Speaking on X, previously known as Twitter, Daran Little responded to a fan discussing the memorable tram crash scenes that were shown in 2005.

He disclosed that there were plans for another major stunt, but it was cancelled due to concerns from the bosses.

“At one stage, we planned to flood the street – like a massive flood that resulted in casualties and had everyone stranded on their rooftops.”
He added: “But it was way too costly.”
Despite this ambitious plot falling through, Coronation Street viewers were treated to a similar experience in 2021.
