Trivia
As of 2025, only one member of the original cast from the debut episode remains: William Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since December 1960. William Roache is the longest-serving actor in the history of television serials. The previous record-holder was Don Hastings, who played Bob Hughes on the American soap opera As the World Turns (1956), from October 1960, bettering Roache's achievement by two months. He lost his record when that series ended in September 2010.

Goofs
The night before Steve and Karen's wedding after Steve decides to let his mum invite Ken and Deidre, she walks out the front door, straight past the Barlows. Then, after they finish their dialog about Tracy, she comes out of the toilet.

Quotes
Eileen Grimshaw: Tracy Barlow! I mean, even her initials are a killer disease!

Seriously going down hill

Watching an episode of coronation Street now is like watching a party political broadcast for the Green party, its covering too many topical subjects all at the one time. Watching TV should be a form of relaxing entertainments not constantly preaching about how to live our life's.

Is it really necessary to make every woman over the age of fifty a bumbling idiot. Gail and Sally have become impossible to watch, two once strong independent women are a pair of clowns and figures of fun.

Shame on you coronation street.
