Bolton once again played host to television stars this afternoon as actors from the nation’s favourite soap swapped the cobbles for the town centre.
Georgia Taylor, better known to Coronation Street fans as Toyah Battersby and Millie Gibson, who plays Kelly Neelan, daughter of notorious loan shark Rick Neelan, were both seen heading towards a film set on Le Mans Crescent.
These two were the only Corrie stars in Bolton today with more expected tomorrow and Wednesday, including Sam Robertson better known to soap fans as Adam Barlow.

The Corrie favourites are just the latest in several television and film productions to set up shop in the picturesque crescent over recent months and years, with the old courthouse building proving to be the perfect setting for dramatic scenes set to air later this year.

An ITV spokesperson said: "We're back in Bolton this week to use the courtroom for scenes that will air mid-September as part of the ongoing Toyah storyline following Imran's death."

The scenes will see Toyah, part of Corrie fixtures the Battersby clan, stand trial for murder in the historic courthouse.
This comes not long after the very same street served as a setting for ITV drama Nolly, starring Harry Potter actress Helena Bonham Carter, for BBC hit Peaky Blinders and for Netflix horror series Red Rose.
The crews are expected to be in the town centre for several more over the next week.
