Two Coronation Street stars sign new contracts to extend time on soap amid changes

Despite the numerous changes happening, it has come to light that some key actors from the series have decided to prolong their tenure – as Jodie Prenger and Sam Robertson have agreed to stay on in the soap for more time.

In 2022, Prenger took on the role of barmaid Glenda Shuttleworth at Corrie. She recently shared with Bella magazine that she has extended her contract for another year.

She shared with the media outlet, “I’ll be spending another year with them! I couldn’t be happier. I adore that place so much. Whenever I’d chat with my agent, I’d inquire about joining Corrie.

Since 2016, Adam Barlow actor Robertson has been a regular character on the cobbles, having also spent three years on the show from 2004 to 2007. However, he hasn’t appeared in the series since March.

However, contrary to some concerns, the recent report in The Sun indicates that Robertson’s temporary absence doesn’t imply a long-term departure. Instead, he has signed a new agreement that extends his contract up until November 2026.
