Coronation Street boss Stuart Blackburn has said the scripts for the upcoming episodes which will see the soap say goodbye to late star Anne Kirkbride and her character Deirdre are "magnificent, really magnificent".
Anne Kirkbride passed away earlier this year after a battle with cancer.
The Express reports that at a recent Coronation Street press conference, Blackburn said: "...And yes, it's kind of upsetting experience for all of us for obvious reasons but I think it's a really fitting tribute to Deirdre."
The episodes are due to air later this year.
