Coronation Street: Julie Carp and Brian Packham to start up fruit & veg shop

The Sun today reports that in upcoming storylines, Julie Carp and her soon-to-be new fella Brian Packham will start up a fruit and veg shop in Ashley Peacock’s old butcher’s shop. Here’s the story…

BATTY Corrie knicker-stitcher Julie Carp and new lover Brian Packham will turn Ashley Peacock’s old butchers’ shop into a trendy fruit and veg store. Viewers will see her romance with Brian blossom – and it will become so serious that they go into business.

The store will open in the autumn and work has already begun on the new set. The storyline comes as bosses try to get Weatherfield residents – and viewers – eating their five-a-day.

A source said: “The idea is to teach viewers about healthy eating, without preaching.

“Many ITV bosses are worried the regular cast are only ever seen in the Rovers or Dev’s kebab shop.”
