Coronation Street cast cuts stories untrue, says Tracy
Tracy Shaw says tabloid reports that eight characters are to be dropped from Coronation Street are untrue.
The actress, who plays Maxine Peacock in the soap, says the press are giving the cast a hard time.
It was reported the characters to be written out included Dev Alahan, Shelley Unwin, Molly Hardcastle and Sam Kingston.
In an interview on ITV's This Morning show, Tracy said: "It is not true. They're giving us a bad time at the moment, I think generally. There's big changes, new producers, people moving in and out.
"I don't know what the atmosphere's been like. I'm sure it's really tense, but I think people underestimate how close we all are anyway so everybody really helps each other out when stuff like this happens.
Earlier reports that Dr Ramsden and his wife Charlie are leaving at Easter, along with Bobbi Lewis, are true, she added.
A spokesperson from Coronation Street said the reports were "pure speculation."
