DRAMMA ALERT!!! Coronation Street stands behind star amid shocking scandal – What really happened? đŸ€”đŸ”„

EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick has defended Coronation Street, following the recent controversy surrounding the show.

The long-running ITV soap has received a lot of negative attention lately, after various cast exits and rumoured budget cuts. Many Coronation Street stars have spoken out in defence of the show, including actor Andy Whyment, who shut down claims of a “cast revolt” on Instagram.

Now, EastEnders‘ Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown, has shared his support for the rival soap.

“I feel like with the soaps, they all have peaks and troughs,” he told The Sun. “They all have moments of up, moments of down. You’re going to get that with longevity. But that one thing that they have is longevity.”

The actor highlighted Corrie‘s over 60-year run, calling it an “amazing show” and “an institution”.

“And I feel like to be a part of that institution – and obviously EastEnders joined a lot later and what we’ve achieved in our 40 years. They’re amazing shows and they’re in the fabric of the country.” He added: “I feel like they always will have a place there.”

Pointing out the tumultuous nature of soaps, Borthwick attributed the “peaks and troughs” to the longevity of the shows, including EastEnders.

“We’re on a good run and have been for a while. I’m sure we’ll go back round the other way and that’s just how it goes with longevity. It’s one thing that they have over many other genres that have been going forever.

“Listen, Corrie‘s an amazing show. It’s brilliant and the people on it are great,” he concluded.
