Met Any of the Corrie Cast?

[Freedating]

Has anybody here ever met any of the Coronation Street cast? I have often seen one or two of them when I have visited Manchester.

I used to have a Sunday job at Kendals on Deansgate ... (this was before Harvey Nichols and Selfridges moved in) ... and I met Liz Dawn on a number of occasions.  Found her down to earth with a fabulous sense of humour - (no sign of the dreaded celebrity attitude anywhere) 

In case you're wondering . . . I was on the fifth floor in soft furnishings - meeow, purrrrrrr !!

I went to a charity fashion show at the De Vere hotel in Mottram St. Andrew, near Prestbury in Cheshire,  the models included Heather Stott and William Roache's wife, and Christine Hamilton, afterwards the Roaches walked past and i complimented his wife,  and Bill said "they were good weren't they"  I bought Christine's book "Battleaxes" and i made Neil sign it as well.

I admire those two. They’ve made it against the odds — but alas I think they could have kept their money and made more if they hadn’t gone to law.

[celeste]

i hope they managed to hold on to their house in Gawsworth

[peterw]

I could be wrong but I understand they’re still likely to lose it.

[celeste]

i hope not, but they do have a very nice apartment in London

Hi. When I left College in 1956 I worked for Granada TV (only just started transmitting) asbtrainee engineer.  When "Corrie," started it was scheduled as a serties of SIX programmes only. This was black and white tv AND had to be done live from the studio because video tape machines were only just being invented.
I actually worked on three of the first programmes of the first six.
Outside broadcasts were all also live. We did live programmes from schools, hospitals, fire stations, life boat stations, and, celebrities homes.  The most memorable to me was from the home of L S Lowry the artist. He was famous for his "matchstick men women in his paintings.
I am now 78, retired and live in Johannesburg South Africa, my home for almodt 40 years.

In the mid eighties I went to a leaving "do" at a working men's club , I was in the gents when a man stood at the side of me at the "stones " ,the gentleman then started whistling the coronation st tune I glanced at him and it was Bill tarmey alias jack ,he was obviously trying to be noticed I just ignored him , I regret not saying to him " hey weren't you in brookside"

I'm surprised that L. S. Lowry let the cameras into his house, I imagined him to be a very private person.

I watched a programme on his life in the 1980s which ended on a rather weird note.

Back in the 90's when I was working in the Town Hall part of my job was to put up the posters for various events on the notice boards at the four corners of the old building, one day I was up the ladder and I heard a voice say "can you tell me the way to Fountain Street?", I looked round and  it was Bill Waddington who played Percy Sugden, I gave him directions and he thanked me and went on his way.
   Strange really I thought Percy knew everything 
 More recentlyI also did work on the flat where the actress that played Emily Bishops deaf cousin (don't know her name) lived.

In a previous incarnation I used to work for an Estate Agency. I went to value a house in Bredbury with a view to putting it on the market, and I had a feeling that I vaguely recognised the vendor. During the conversation, when he and his wife were talking about their need for privacy, I just had to ask if he was well known or famous. He turned out to be Bill Tarmey (a.k.a. Jack Duckworth).


He and his wife were both really nice people, no pretensions or egos about them at all. And it only took a few days for us to find a buyer for them, and the sale went through very smoothly. Result all round!

And while I'm about it, a friend of mine was in Corrie for about eighteen months back in the nineties, which is the only time I've ever actually watched it. But I'm going to be a pain in the posterior and not reveal her name!!!!!
