Fans said the flat above Prima Doner had been off-screen for years 

Among the most iconic spots are The Rovers Return and Underworld factory.

Writing online, however, fans questioned where certain “missing” sets had gone.

One penned: “According to the Corrie wiki, the inside of the kebab shop flat (18a Victoria Street) was last seen in 2019!”

Another commented: “That’s insane. Has The Kabin featured yet this year?”

A third person said in response: “No. Hasn’t featured since February of 2024.”

The Kabin is perhaps most associated with Rita Tanner, its long-standing proprietor.

However, former teacher Brian Packham has owned the newsagents since 2019.

Eagle-eyed viewers pointed out Brian’s own flat hasn’t been featured for over a decade.

A fan wrote: “Brian’s flat (12 Coronation Street) hasn’t featured since 2014.”

While another shared: “Its definitely lazy to have the kabin interior off screen for so long as well as regular residents flats.”

Coronation Street in major leak as fans on set tour sneak into newly re-designed Platt house after epic blaze

Earlier this year, ITV announced from January 2026, Corrie and Emmerdale will be reduced to five 30-minute episodes per week, rather than six, resulting in a one-hour reduction in soap content on the channel.

Bosses attempted to spin the new streamlined output by branding the new soap schedule as ITV’s new “Power Hour”, with Emmerdale airing at 8pm followed by Coronation Street at 8:30pm, Monday to Friday.

A TV insider previously told The Sun: “After the Daytime announcement, the big feeling within the soap departments at ITV is the cost-cutting focus will shift to them.

“There’s been some seismic changes already over the past year in regards to penny pinching and many believe that’s just the start.

“Given the big audience figures and institutional history within ITV, soaps used to have an untouchable feel about them.

“But that’s changed significantly and they now feel more vulnerable than ever.”

A string of Corrie stars — Helen Worth, Charlotte Jordan, Sue Cleaver, Shelley King, Sue Devaney, Colson Smith, Daniel Brocklebank and Luca Toolan — have announced they are leaving or have been written out since November 2024.
