'Coronation Street' stars have been warned there's no guarantee their contracts will be renewed next year.
It was announced last month that 'Emmerdale' boss Kate Oates will be taking over from 'Corrie' producer Stuart Blackburn in the new year and stars of the ITV soap are now said to be terrified they'll be axed.
A source shared: "With a new boss coming in and the threat of certain cliques being suddenly under threat, it's made people a bit panicky.
"A few people have been raising the tentative question about their contracts being renewed or extended, but the answer has been it will all have to wait until the new year -- and that has set a few nerves jangling.
"Everyone has been told there will be personal sit-downs with the new boss, who will have her own ideas about how their characters will progress -- or not."
The news comes after a number of long-running stars including Ryan Thomas, Craig Charles and Hayley Tamaddon announced their departures over the past few months.
However, it's not the first time a new producer has prompted a shake-up as Julie Hesmondhalgh, Chris Gascoyne and Michelle Keegan all made the decision to quit after Stuart took over as boss in 2013.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: "There is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes with various groups of actors and actresses who are in different camps and who were and were not favoured by Stuart Blackburn, so his departure is massive for them all.
"Some are wanting the new boss to stamp her mark on the show by sorting out any perceived favouritism and some are obviously wanting assurances about their financial futures.
"But they have been told: 'You will just have to wait to see Kate in 2016.' "
Meanwhile, Simon Gregson - who plays Steve McDonald - is said to be looking forward to making his return after taking time off for personal reasons.
An insider shared: "He is very keen to get back to work and it looks like he is on the mend."

ITV bosses are reportedly planning to offer Anne Robinson £750,000 to appear on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
The 71-year-old presenter - who announced she was quitting 'Watchdog' after 15 years last month - is said to be one of the main targets of producers looking to complete the line-up for this year's show.
Anne previously claimed she was offered "about half a million" to travel to the Australian jungle but that she "just wouldn't do" it.
However, producers are so desperate to persuade her to take part that they're planning to add an extra quarter of a million pounds on to their previous offer, according to the Daily Star newspaper.
If the deal goes ahead, the former 'Weakest Link' host would become 'I'm A Celeb's most expensive celebrity yet, as the most they've paid in the past was reportedly £500,000 on tennis champion Martina Navratilova.
Meanwhile, other stars linked to a stint in the jungle this year include former 'Dragon's Den' investor Duncan Bannatyne, 'Geordie Shore' loudmouth Vicky Pattison and 'X Factor' veteran Louis Walsh, who is said to have turned down a half a million pound offer.

Sir Bruce Forsyth will host a special episode of 'Strictly Come Dancing' next month despite suffering a fall last week.
The 86-year-old star - who agreed to return for one-off specials of the celebrity dance contest when he announced he was quitting the show last year - was forced to pull out of filming his variety show 'Bruce's Hall of Fame' after being hospitalised last week but it's now been confirmed he will be back on his feet in time for Children In Need.
Sir Bruce will host a special edition of 'Strictly' which will feature four stars from the BBC drama 'Call the Midwife'.
Jenny Agutter, Laura Main, Stephen McGann and Jack Ashton - who all star alongside current 'Strictly' contestant Helen George in the much-loved show - will be swapping their period costumes for fake tans and glitter when they take to the dance floor on November 13.
In addition to the special episode of 'Strictly', a number of other treats have also been planned for Children In Need.
Shane Richie, 51, will be returning to 'EastEnders' for a sing-a-long while comedian Harry Hill will give his take on the history of TV and 'The One Show presenters Alex Jones and Matt Baker will be doing a Ricky Horror show.
The charity event will also feature live performances from Ellie Goulding, Rod Stewart and Selena Gomez with Sir Terry Wogan,Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton, Rochelle Humes and Nick Grimshaw on board as hosts.
Sir Terry said: "We are looking forward to a mind-blowing evening of great entertainment on behalf of a great charity."

Piers Morgan has been confirmed as a permanent member of the 'Good Morning Britain' presenting team.
The 50-year-old TV personality is to co-host the show alongside Susanna Reid three days a week from November, having guest hosted the show on a number of occasions earlier this year.
Piers said: "I am very excited at the prospect of waking up at 3am every morning, and even more excited by the thought of how annoying Susanna is going to find me after a few months.
"'Good Morning Britain' is a great show with a terrific team on and off screen. I'm looking forward to it enormously."
Piers also confirmed the news on Twitter, joking that his new co-host may not be looking forward to the prospect.
He wrote: "BREAKING NEWS: It's official - I am joining @GMB as co-host with @susannareid100 from November. Brace yourselves Britain.
"Just arrived @ITV @GMB to be greeted by @susannareid100 in a dressing gown, high heels & semblance of a grin. Or may have been a grimace. (sic)"
The announcement comes shortly after Piers confirmed he'd been in talks to present the show, but revealed his involvement was being delayed by his appearance in a paid ad campaign.
He previously said: "I like 'Good Morning Britain'. I had a great time doing it and I may as well tell the truth about it. We've been talking about me having a more permanent slot there, which I would really enjoy because it was really good fun.
"But the problem was created by I did a big advert for Camelot the National Lottery but there's a bit of a clash if you do a commercial and you're doing a news current affairs show, as 'Good Morning Britain' is classified.
"We're trying to work through it and if we do then you'll be waking up to me in the morning."

Duncan Bannatyne has signed up for 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
The former 'Dragon's Den' star has reportedly agreed to jet to the Australian jungle to take part in the popular reality show later this year.
A source said: "Duncan is really excited about 'I'm A Celebrity' and sees it as a new challenge after 'Dragon's Den'."
And the 66-year-old entrepreneur - who has daughters Hollie, Abigail, Jennifer and Eve with first wife Gail and children Emily and Thomas with second wife Joanne - is planning to take his new girlfriend Nigora Whitehorn, 35, along with him.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: "He and Nigora are madly in love and he cannot wait for her and some of his children to join him out in Australia."
The news comes after Duncan - who met dental nurse Nigora while getting some new crowns fitted at his Harley Street dentist - admitted he wants to have more children with his new love.
He said previously: "We're trying! Well, we're not doing anything to prevent it."
Meanwhile, other stars who are rumoured to have signed up for 'I'm A Celeb' so far include former 'Geordie Shore' favourite Vicky Pattison, while 'X Factor' veteran Louis Walsh is reported to have turned down a £500,000 offer to appear on the show.

'Strictly Come Dancing' contestants risk being thrown off the show if they are gripped by stage fright.
Show host Tess Daly was stunned by the level of nerves shown by this year's contestants in the first week of the programme, and revealed there is a "contingency plan" in place if their fears get the better of them.
She said: "I've never seen nerves like it in week one. I thought we were going to have an actual case of stage fright, for which we have a lot of contingency plans.
"If someone is so petrified they literally freeze and can't carry on, we give them a chance to dance again at the end of the show. And if they can't dance then either, they're out of the competition."
Though the 46-year-old star admits presenting the live shows give her "butterflies", she insists her nerves help her performance.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I love the thrill that anything can happen at any moment.
"It's like riding a wild horse at a rodeo. I love the adrenaline rush.
"I get butterflies - Bruce [Forsyth] used to get butterflies. But it's not debilitating.
"It forces you to be fully present in the moment, in the zone, which is a wonderful place to be."

Maisie Williams enjoyed hanging out with "bearded, hairy men" in 'Doctor Who: The Girl Who Died'.
The 'Game of Thrones' actress joined the cast of the BBC One sci-fi drama for the upcoming ninth series and revealed her character is part of a useless band of Vikings with "insane beards" that are taught to defend themselves against the galaxy's most deadly army by the titular Time Lord.
Maisie revealed: "I feel like I've seen a lot of insane beards here on this shoot. I don't know which would have more, but it's very nice to have that familiar bearded, hairy men setting."
Despite the fifth episode being set in the past and loving the Viking outfits, the 18-year-old actress - who's known for playing Arya Stark in the medieval drama 'GoT' - thinks the best thing about being in the acclaimed series is it's "futuristic" setting.
She added: "It's so refreshing to have this futuristic element linked in to it too, that's what has kept me going really, not just beards and dragons. There's a whole new element that's fed in to the sides. It just looks so great with all of us in our Viking outfits, Jenna (Coleman) in her space suit and the Doctor in his cool coat with his crazy sunglasses. It makes for a really cool and interesting dynamic on screen."
Episode 5, 'The Girl Who Died' airs Saturday October 17 on BBC One.

Tom Bleasby has quit 'The X Factor'.
The 19-year-old singer - who was put through to Nick Grimshaw's judges' houses round in the boys' Six Chair Challenge, which aired Sunday (11.10.15) - has revealed he has decided to withdraw from the ITV show, citing "personal reasons".
He said in a statement: "Due to personal reasons I have decided to withdraw from 'The X Factor'. Thank you to all the judges, especially Nick for his belief in me.
"I want to wish all the contestants the best of luck and thank you to the public for supporting me and my dream."
However, a source has claimed Tom - who was due to appear in the next round alongside fellow boys Ben Clark, Che Chesterman, Josh Daniel, Seann Miley Moore and Simon Lynch - struggled with his confidence.
They told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "He didn't think he could progress vocally and in terms of his confidence."
A spokesperson from the talent show confirmed his exit, adding: "We can confirm that Tom Bleasby has chosen to withdraw from the competition due to personal reasons."
Tom had a rollercoaster ride whilst on the ITV show, particularly in the latest round when he wowed with his rendition of 'I Look To You'. He was later swapped out of Nick's chosen six in favour of Ben Clark but with the crowd so outraged by his decision, the radio DJ decided to bring him back.

The BBC are planning a "best of" series of 'The Apprentice'.
Last year's winner Mark Wright claims the network are keen to get all of the previous victors from the business series back in the boardroom for the ultimate showdown.
He said: "I shouldn't say this, but there is talk of all of the winners going back and having a best Apprentice of all the people that have won, because there's now going to be 11 there [after this series].
"So you've almost got a full complement of people who have won the show over the past 11 years that could make another series and you'd have all of these people from all walks of life and skill sets.
"We joke amongst us - obviously I tell them that I would win easily. It would be interesting to see that, I think."
Even if the show doesn't happen, the Climb Online entrepreneur is keen to return to the programme in some capacity.
He added to DigitalSpy: "But I would love to go back in some capacity, whether that's as an assistant to Lord Sugar or as an interviewer like Ricky [Martin] or to use my business on a task, to come in and do something creative."
It is unclear whether all of the former contestants would be on board with returning to the show, especially as some of them, such as series six winner Stella English - who sued for wrongful dismissal - have strained relationships with Lord Alan Sugar.
