Showdown between Corrie cast & bosses
CORRIE bosses are facing a backlash after the soap’s stars were asked to help flog products for tiny fees.
Producers have signed placement deals with the likes of Costa Coffee, Co-op and EE.
A Costa shop opened on the cobbles three years ago, while hoardings advertising a new branch of phone firm EE in Weatherfield appeared in the summer.
But further collaborations with the brands sees ITV chiefs expecting the cast to promote companies by incorporating branded snacks and drinks into scenes and getting actors to pose with them.
Some are being offered just £100 a month to effectively give endorsements in front of millions of viewers.
A source said: “It’s an absolute joke — it’s insulting.
“Bosses are raking in tens of thousands for deals while they are getting the off-cuts.
“Some can command much bigger fees to promote products away from the show.”

Samantha Womack on stage life (continued…)
Samantha told the Daily Star: "It suits me much better in so many ways – the hours, for a start. I'm awful first thing in the morning, I can't function.
"They say people are either night or morning people – and I'll happily sit up til 5am, but when you're on a soap you have to get up at 5am."
But that wasn't the only reason, as the actress admitted she has a habit of "falling our with everyone in television" as she gets "irritated" on set.
"Someone is always telling you what to do with your character and I just get really irritated," Samantha added. "I end up arguing and then getting sacked."
It's for this reason she's called time for good on EastEnders – and because her character was killled off before her departure in 2017.
"Now, I really love my job and I hate losing control over how a story is told," she concluded. "I need something that gives me more creative control."

Gemma Oaten reveals 'her darkest days in hospital' when she suffered from eating disorder
Gemma Oaten has bravely spoken out about her darkest days in hospital.
In an exclusive interview with the Sun, she described how staff used the ITV soap as a reward, only allowing her to watch it if she had made sufficient effort to eat.
She said: “I nearly didn’t make it because of the eating disorder. I almost died four times. I spent a lot of my life in hospitals, eating disorder units and psychiatric units. My favourite TV shows got me through.
“Some of these places were backwards in their approach. The psychiatric unit I was in when I was 11 was brutal.
Her eating disorder caused Gemma to suffer a heart attack when she was just 18 years old
“It was very much reward and punishment, so if I’d put on weight I’d be allowed to watch television. I’d watch Coronation Street and escape into it and have that little bit of fire inside me thinking, ‘I can beat this eating disorder — I can get better and go for my dreams’.
“Eating disorders make you lose sight of a lot of things, but I still dared to dream that I’d be on Corrie one day.”

And for more than a decade, Star Trek’s Jean-Luc Picard has urged Gemma to be honest and open about her past, giving her the strength to succeed in acting, overcome her disorder and help other sufferers.
Gemma, now 37, says: “He was instrumental in the decision to start speaking out. He said it was important to use our voices for good.
“I wrote to him when I was a student, asking for any advice. He wrote back and we stayed in touch.
“He invited me to see him on stage and I often send him links to my TV appearances. He writes back and says he’s proud to know me and that I’m an inspiration.
“He’s such a good guy, with a great heart. His encouragement has been amazing.”
