Coronation Street star rules out 'live episode'

Coronation Street star Jane Danson has said that she does not want to do another live episode of the soap.

Danson, who plays Leanne Barlow in the Weatherfield soap, was widely praised for her acting during the trams crash episode last year.

Jane told Digital Spy that she does not relish the though of performing in a further live show.

She is quoted as saying: "Now that the dust has settled, I've actually recently watched the live episode for the first time in a long time.

"Being part of it truly was an amazing experience, but because of the special effects and everything that went into it, I'm not sure we'd ever create something as good again."

However, Danson revealed that she is enjoying working on the Manchester soap.

She explained: "I think Leanne has grown older and she's at a different stage of her life.

"Even though I've been lucky enough to be involved in some great storylines in the past, this current one has been the longest-running and the most enjoyable."

She added: "It's lovely to get awards and it's nice to get recognition, because it's something that has never really happened before. But the most important thing is the material and delivering it well.

"Certainly the last couple of years have been the most challenging for me."
