He worked on ITV soap " Emmerdale " as storyliner and story editor before moving the " Street " as story editor and latterly series story editor . Blackburn returned to " Emmerdale " as series producer in 2011 to replace the late Gavin Blyth . In October 2012 it was announced that Blackburn would once again return to " Coronation Street " to replace producer Phil Collinson in early 2013 . After taking over , he was involved in concluding the Karl Munro killer storyline , which started after he set fire to the Rovers Return Inn and killed Sunita Alahan , which was part of Collinson ' s final episodes . He brought back Beverley Callard as Liz McDonald after her departure in 2011 and reintroduced the McDonalds to the Rovers . He also axed characters such as Paul Kershaw , Brian Packham and original character Dennis Tanner , three years after his reintroduction following a 43 year absence . Major stories under Blackburn include a whodunnit storyline involving the murder of Tina McIntyre in 2014 after Michelle Keegan quit the role in the previous year , leading to the false imprisonment of her lover Peter Barlow and concluded with the comeuppance of true killer Rob Donovan ( Marc Baylis ) . 2014 saw Steve McDonald ( Simon Gregson ) suffering from depression , which tied with a minibus crash in January 2015 .

This became apparent when in 2015 newspapers picked up on it and claimed the ratings were going down and the quality decreasing . Blackburn however denied the rumours , saying that the show was stronger than ever . In September 2015 it was announced that Blackburn would be leaving " Coronation Street " at some point in early 2016 and replaced by Kate Oates .
