Esther Rose Esther Rose wrote 3 episodes of " Coronation Street " between February and May 1966 . Prior to that , she was a reporter on the " Daily Express " and her husband , Harry Whewell , was news editor of " The Guardian " . Her first role at Granada Television was the editor of the topical programme " The Headliners " . She was the Story Associate on " Coronation Street " from Episode 796 ( 5th August 1968 ) to Episode 2437 ( 8th August 1984 ) ( except for 168 episodes in small gaps for vacations and suchlike ) which meant that she was actively involved in the forward planning of episodes - quite often meant to be a surprise to viewers - that would take place months ahead of transmission . In his 1990 autobiography entitled " Coronation Street : The Inside Story " , Bill Podmore , the programme ' s longest - serving producer , revealed that Rose was the inside " mole " , long suspected by Granada as being at the very centre of the programme ' s production team , who had assiduously leaked storylines and personal information about the cast as well as behind - the - scenes problems to her old colleagues in the Fleet Street press for profit . Podmore states that some of the leaks over the years had made him , " very angry " and , despite suspecting Rose for a time , he was unable to entrap her successfully and her subsequent revealing was " a bitter blow " . She eventually made a mistake which led to her being confirmed as the " mole " but it occurred just two days before she was due to officially retire in 1984 ; Podmore went on to state that , " Had we caught her earlier , it would have given me great satisfaction to have given her the boot . " Rose ' s mistake was to be accidentally overheard by Mervyn Watson ( the programme ' s producer and then reporting to Podmore who was now executive producer ) giving strictly personal information and the home address of Elizabeth Dawn - then going through some private issues - at " dictation speed " to one of her newspaper contacts . Rose was confronted by the two men the next day and told that if her retirement hadn ' t been just twenty - four hours away , she would certainly have been fired . Rose continued to cause problems by giving the press a story ( reportedly for £7 , 000 ) that appeared on Sunday 14th April 1985 that secret meetings were taking place - both at production level and Granada board level - to plan out the end of the programme to coincide with its twenty - fifth anniversary in December 1985 . Podmore ridiculed the story , pointing out that every three months the production team met to conduct high - level planning of storylines and , by coincidence , the Granada board were meeting the same day . Rose appeared on " Good Morning Britain " on Thursday 18th April to defend her story . Fellow guest and " Street " - fan Melvyn Bragg appeared on the same edition and on air forced Rose to accept a bet for £1 , 000 that the programme would still be running a year hence . It is not known if in April 1986 Rose paid Bragg his winnings . Episodes written by Esther Rose . 1966 ( 3 episodes )
