They've had the same bloody door on that house since about 1967 and it last had a fresh lick of paint in 1995. There's no way in hell the production team will even consider repainting it for decades yet.
I don't understand the Jack and Vera shrine. I really, really adored both characters. But wouldn't a framed photo on the wall suffice? I'm surprised Ty and Fiz haven't got Jack and Vee's urns pride of place on the mantelpiece.
When Sally & Kevin bought No. 13 off Hilda Ogden, they papered over the truly iconic 'muriel' straight away. It was true to life - as much as they loved Hilda, there was no way in hell a young couple would opt to keep the seascape and brown fixtures and fittings. Fast forward to 2016 and you've got Tyrone and Fiz living alongside Jack's unemptied ashtrays, an old pan that was last handled by Vera in about 2003, and the remains of Boomer the dog in that front room that we never see.
I kind of want Kate Oates to tarmac over the cobbles.
