(This is the first of a series of wonderful blog posts written by Llifon on the Coronation Street Blog earlier this year, reposted to this blog with permission.)
Starting tomorrow, there'll be a weekly post on the blog chronicling the lives and careers of the original cast of Coronation Street. There were twenty-one (there are four missing from the above photo) in the cast back in December 1960 and it has been interesting looking at all of them. Some remained in the soap for many years while others left quite early on.
Today, there are two originals in the cast: William Roache (Ken Barlow), who's been in the show since its inception and Philip Lowrie (Dennis Tanner), who was in the show between 1960 and 1968 and returned in 2011. I do hope you'll enjoy reading the profiles! The first original to be featured will be Arthur Leslie who played Jack Walker and that'll be tomorrow.
Do you have memories of the first or early episodes of Corrie?
