ITV Coronation Street issues ‘be vigilant' warning to soap fans using social med
Coronation Street has issued warnings to fans in a social media statement. It has become known to people behind the scenes at the soap that fans are falling victim to another type of scam. Back at the start of this year, both Corrie and Emmerdale accounts shared on social media platform X that scammers were pretending to be stars from the shows. The statement said: 'Please be aware that actors from both Coronation Street and Emmerdale are currently being impersonated by scammers across all social media platforms. 'No cast member will ever directly request money for messages, meetings or any kind of personal interaction on social media. 'We are aware these sophisticated impersonations can include deep-fake footage (where it appears to be the actor talking but isn't) and personal messages which seem to be realistic and in character. We urge everybody to be vigilant. Please report any concerns to the relevant platform.' They concluded: 'The legitimate way of meeting with real members of the cast is via official 'meet and greet' events run by ITV Star Tours.' This time, audience members are being targeted by con artists pretending to be from the Coronation Street casting department – claiming to offer them a part in their favourite soap. Metro understands that fans of Emmerdale have been approached too. To warn people about the cruel trick, the Corrie X account once again shared a message online, this time saying: 'We are aware that there are some accounts impersonating the Casting department at Coronation Street on social media platforms. 'Our Casting team only uses official methods of communication, this does not involve direct messages on Twitter or any other social media. 'Please be careful when communicating online and report any concerns to the relevant platform.' This comes after Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley told her fans not to believe AI bots pretending to be her online. The actress, 48, is best known for her role as Mandy Dingle, said on Instagram: 'Hello everybody, it's Lisa here. Now, I have to keep reiterating this, please, and please listen.' 'If something is not on my page – and my page is blue-ticked – then it is not real,' she stated, referencing the social media network's notable person verification system.

More Trending 'I have to keep reiterating this because I am inundated with people saying that I'm attached to things that I'm not.

There are two performance that when you sit and watch them, and we know the script, we know what is happening, but then you see your colleagues perform... I got goosebumps.

I can't believe I'm doing this to Cain Dingle! "But it's all brilliant, there's such brilliant scenes. It gets really nasty between us and then there's a really nice arc in the story eventually, where things will become a bit clearer. I can't say too much but there is a lot to look out for."

Emmerdale star teases villain's return as he confirms new Lewis twists
Emmerdale newcomer Bradley Riches, who plays Lewis Barton on the ITV soap, has teased new twists ahead for the brother of Ross Barton, while calling for the comeback of a villain One Emmerdale newcomer is hoping one of the show's biggest villains will make an epic return to the ITV soap, while teasing new twists ahead. Bradley Riches spoke exclusively to The Mirror about what lies ahead for his character Lewis Barton. It seems fans will be seeing a lot more of Ross Barton's secret brother, with it teased he'll be very present up on Moira DIngle's farm. Amid Lewis falling out with Ross over their secret weed growing schemes and the truth about his mother Emma Barton's death, Bradley has hinted the drama will die down a little where Moira is concerned. Moira feared the worst when Lewis worked out she'd killed Emma. But Lewis will move on it seems, forming a bond with Ross' aunt and staying close to Ross despite some hiccups along the way thanks to Mackenzie Boyd, and new villain Ray. But Bradley is hoping we might see another big villain head back to the show, as it would be a rather big twist for his ongoing plot. Emmerdale stars warn 'lots of danger' ahead as 'scary' new villain Ray debuts Bradley told us that Lewis was going to let things slide with Moira, forgiving her for Emma's death. Moira actress Natalie J Robb then confessed: "She will mother him," as Bradley told us: "He can't stay angry at these faces," referring to Ross and Moira. He added: "I think they are both quite similar and know what they want. They will see eye to eye soon. But I say bring back Emma... maybe she never fell off that bridge." Ross actor Mike Parr added: "It is a shame she can't come back but you never know actually. It is a soap after all. Maybe she floated, she got back on her broom and flew off." It seems the bond between Lewis and Ross will grow though, with Mike telling us: "I think it would be really nice because we have such a nice offscreen relationship. It's fun and it will be nice if that comes through onscreen too. "It's hard to make the comedy fun and push happy storylines that last longer than two episodes amid all the illness and death. It would be nice to make that work and pump some happiness into the show." Mike then questioned: "But do they become sworn enemies or can they grow closer? We will just have to wait and see but there's more stuff ahead." Bradley also teased more comedy ahead, adding: "He's got a couple of one liners coming up which is exciting. And he's introduced to new people in the village as well." As we asked about him getting a job within the village, both Bradley and Natalie let slip Lewis would be very much staying on the farm, just like the rest of the Bartons. Natalie confessed: "Maybe somewhere else..." as Bradley added: "He will get a job, he's a determined guy. He wants to get stuff done." Natalie added: "He will be getting a job," before pulling a face that told us all we needed to know.
