Coronation Street is one of the best television programs on today. Bar none. The writing is superb. The settings are realistic, and the acting is incomparable. Everyone who watches has favorite characters, scenes and story lines. Depending on how long you've been watching, these can include everything from Hilda Ogden and her "muriel" to Roy and Hayley's wedding to Tyrone's first kiss. My list of favorites continues to grow as I watch.


Here are several pictures of the cast of the show from over the years.

The 40th Anniversary

I have been watching Coronation Street for many years. My mother used to watch it when I was a child and I thought it was boring. When that music came on it signalled that mom wasn't to be disturbed till her show was over and I may have resented it then. Now I understand the power that music can have over a person. My heart skips a beat when I hear it and if I'm not already in front of the telly when it comes on, I drop what I'm doing and get there, so as not to miss a moment. Considering the plots and characters that I remember from my childhood, I couldn't have found it that boring, because I was paying attention! There are many Street fans around the world and they are wonderful people. If you'd like an opportunity to chat with some of them about your favorite show visit The#coro_street Homepage. I've met some truly remarkable people there and made some true friendships. I love these guys! One of them writes articles about Corrie-related topics forSuite 101. Visit the site and read some of Greggy's work, it's really great. Another place to visit for gossip and updates and news about your favorite show and its characters isThe Coronation Street Fan's Website. There's plenty for you there. For those of us who live outside of the UK but would like to stay up to date on the events taking place on the street there's Mike Plowman's Visual Updates. They are amazingly good and accompanied by Mike's often hilarious text. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll read ahead, I guarantee it.
