Iain MacLeod was announced as Emmerdale producer at the same time and his episodes started in May.

Sean O'Connor's episodes have started in Eastenders.

Why is there a delay for Kate? Has it been explained?

Monday, 25th July is when we first see her work.

Perhaps it has something to do with how far in advance of broadcast the episodes are recorded.

Because ITV decided to announce it ridiculously early, months before Stuart even left.
Also she had a three month break in between leaving Emmerdale and starting at Corrie.

She only started there in either March or April - as after Emmerdale she took a break for a few months.

When new soap producers start being credited, typically it isn't their work. It just means they have overseen production of the episodes in question. It's usually another few months before their own storylines hit.

I'm surprised Kate would want to put her name to anything signed off by SB. He's been by far Corrie's worst ever producer. But if she's being credited later this month then she must be.

I remember when Kirkwood took over from Santer on EE there was an announcement and within weeks Kirkwood was shadowing Santer for a couple weeks then it was all over.

This year 4 soaps have got new producers and it is taking FOREVER for them to be implemented. It will be 2017 before we see any of their work taking fruition

Iain started on ED at the start of Jan.

Kate started at CS at the start of April. she had a ell deserved break before starting CS, ITV were in no hurry for stuart to go

Something has gone on at EE, they have credited SOCK as EP but the storylines etc are still DTc's unfortunately. Its a strange move

Yes, I read In an article that they credit the new producer from their first day, even though It's not their stuff, It is strange.

Kate Oates has been working on changing everyone's personalities so hence the delay

It wasn't his first day, he started about two weeks after dtc left. the stuff we are seeng he oversaw the filming and editing of and thats when he is credited from

but yeah they put in the intervie he was credited but not all his work as dtcs storylines have months left to play out. the other producers at itv and Iain on hollyoaks. all remained on the credits till their work (apart from the long term stories ongoing) was complete

And their histories.
She did work on Corrie though, so she might get some right this time.

BBC must do it differently to itv. Kate Oates left in December and Iain McLeod oversaw the filming of everything from January on but Kate's name stayed on credits right up until May when the scripts she developed ran out. Emmerdale roughly plan their storylines five months out so IM starting in January and being first credited 5 months later in May makes sense.

If I was SOC I wouldn't want my name credited to DTCs scripts and storylines
