Coronation Street canal plot changed after the death of Stone Roses fan Christopher Brahney Scenes of a body found in a canal, that were scripted and filmed weeks ago and were intended to air during tonight's episode, have been altered due to sensitivity concerning the death of 22-year-old Christopher Brahney. Brahney's body was found in the Manchester Ship Canal at Salford Quays on Monday, nearly two weeks after he went missing following the Stone Roses return gig at Heaton Park on June 29. The Coronation Street storyline concerned the disapperance of character Peter Barlow (played by Chris Gascoyne) and was to feature references to a body being pulled out of the canal (a well-used location for major storylines in the soap). In the plot, the local police find a body that matches the description of the troubled alcoholic, and although the scenes did not actually feature a body being recovered, they did include a policeman making several references to one being found in a canal. Barlow's estranged wife Leanne (Jane Danson) and father Ken (William Roache) are called to the morgue to identify the body but tonight's new scenes will now make no reference to where the body was found. An ITV spokesperson said: "Like many others, we were extremely saddened by the news of Christopher's death, and our thoughts and condolences are with his family. What we have removed is multiple references to a body being found in a canal. We have made the change so the finding referenced by a policeman is now broader, simply a body being found, no reference to where. Coronation Street is on tonight on ITV1 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm
