It Was Too Late For The Mortons

From DS



Coronation Street producer Kim Crowther has revealed that some of the axed Morton family could make a return to Weatherfield next year.

Kim, who assumed one of the show's central roles in November last year, explained that it was "too late" to save the family from the axe.

Speaking exclusively to DS, she said: "We had a big story for the Mortons (the poisoning) but I think they had been too long on screen without a story and so people were saying 'Who are they?' and 'What's their purpose?' I actually think that since Teresa came in - played by Karen Henthorn - they suddenly started to make sense. But unfortunately, we felt it was too late."

She added: "That doesn't mean we won't see any of them again - some of them I'm hoping to bring back - but I think it's really hard to establish such a big family all at once."

The Morton clan comprised Jerry (Michael Starke), Mel (Emma Edmondson), Kayleigh (Jessica Bardon) and Finlay (Ramone Quinn). Darryl, however, was handed a reprieve in August due to his established connections with the Platt family.

It's too late for her to know her arse from her elbow as well.

I don't see why it was too late...they have to alter scripts in other circumstances at short notice

TBH the mortens are no big loss.

I really liked Jerry, and would like to see him come back. He really interacted well with the rest of the cast.
Although how he could come back is anyones guess since he won`t have the kebab shop anymore.
