Introduction
This is a fanfiction of Coronation Street that begins on the Easter Weekend of 2017 (Friday, April 14th Good Friday). It will be set in a slightly parallel world where a variety of characters from the past and present inhabit coronation street, and the locations on the street will be an amalgamation of locations from the shows history, with the traditionally constant side of the street remaining as you'd expect. Some extra streets have been developed to contain residential areas and houses.

Episode Schedule
The episodes will be shown in four weekly episodes, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday although will be posted to this thread on a more laisse faire basis as and when they are written or I feel I have written enough to share it. Each episode is 30 minutes in length. The episodes are to be broadcast at 9pm, as this allows slightly more post-watershed content to feature within the shows content on occasion, however the family essence of Corrie will remain.

Cast
The regular cast, there rough ages, where they reside and work, etc will all be outlined in a subsequent post to detail all of this. Similarly for locations. Obviously I've attempted to use iconic characters but I am also attempting development on more minor characters and families. A particular focus will be given to characters around in 1976-1980 and 2008- the present day, this is because I've actually seen many of these episodes and feel able to write for them more realistically. Other eras will not be completely ignored. Whilst no blood relations of families, such as father-daughter, mother-son, brother-sister etc have been altered, some characters from different generations of the show have been paired as married partners to provide the basis for new families unique to this series.

Format
Synopsis style with some important dialogue written out in script format. Spoilers will not be posted in advance of any episode, I want this to feel like the reader is being taken on a journey as if they're watching the show. Similarly no brief TV guide style synopsis will be written.

In order to avoid a load of canonical impossibilities and a load of frankly bizarre things, the Easter Weekend should be considered the beginning of Timewarpnation Street, with Coronation Street being considered as a way of informing us about the character traits, rather than bearing any relation to storylines in Timewarpnation Street.

I'm currently finalising the character list, is there any one in particular that people think simply cannot be left out?

Really looking forward to this, it sounds great. I've tried to do something similar in the past but gave up on it, but I'm really excited to see who's in your cast!

Will you be including characters who have died? (for example Tony Gordon etc?)

Glad you're looking forward to it.

Attempting to gel family units from across the generations and could totally understand why this might not last but it's worth a try - trying to narrow them down is the most difficult part - after all there's thousands of characters.

Yes, some dead characters will be included, - when I post the character list it'll include each of the characters life stages (matched for chronology to anyone they are married to or mother-son father-daughter related to, cousins may have wild variances in chronology) - obviously the number of out and out villains will be kept fairly minimal - but that doesn't stop the excluded making an appearance later in the show.
