A CORONATION Street extra has revealed what some of the stars of the ITV soap are really like backstage.
One background artist has written about their experience filming for an upcoming episode that will see a host of characters go on a night out to the gay village in Manchester.
And they have told which actors made an impression by showing their true colours during the filming days.
“I was an extra for an upcoming episode,” the extra wrote on Reddit.
“Gang head out to canal street for a drag queen show. Todd, Theo, James, Sean, Glinda, Mary & Christina. Theo up to his usual nasty tricks with Todd!
“There was about 50 extras on the set as it was a night club scene so there was probably too many of us across the 2 day shoot for the cast to really mingle but they very much kept separate from the extras.
“The guy who play Theo is actually really nice and friendly, he was chatting to the extras between takes, starting conversations and just generally a really nice guy.
“It was really interesting watching his switch on the nasty Theo for the takes!”
They added: “The woman who played Glenda was also really friendly with the extras, the rest of the cast kept to themselves and didn’t speak to any of the extras.
“The crew were fantastic though, so interesting to see how it all works behind the scenes!
