|colspan=7|Biography is another bloated one, particularly with regards with Andy's final year which has eight paragraphs devoted to it which are form almost an episode-by-episode synopsis (and some parts even minute-by-minute). The introduction is also problematic as it dives straight into the Gavin Rodwell storyline with no scene-setting or context for the deception. Hobbies and background are good though and get a pass. |

|colspan=7|Biography amply covers Ali's birth and the baby swap storyline. Only the introduction of his 2018 is included though. Appendices are only for 2018 onwards, and background info is nuts and bolts only with no creation or casting inside information and nothing at all on his 2020 exit. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ken Barlow | Work needed (1/2/21) | ||||||
An excellent article. Additions to the biography and relationships in the last two years make any suggestions seem petty - about the only thing that seems missing is an Audrey relationship sub-section as they were getting close after Deirdre passed away and this isn't covered anywhere. The background information is the main part where it falls down as it only skims the surface and is formatted as bullet points which we don't do anymore. Employment history also missing. Otherwise, some of the best work on the site that reflects the importance of the topic. | |||||||
Gail Rodwell | Major work needed (19/12/21) | ||||||
A lengthy article with a lot of merit. There are niggling issues with most sections though. Starting with the biography, some storylines such as Martin's affair with Rebecca Hopkins and her marriage to Brian that require expansion, the Richard Hillman saga omits Richard's motivation for the murders, and an update is needed for the past two years. Personality is focused on Gail's early years and marriages. Relationships is generally good but missing sub-sections on all of her children and husbands. BGI runs through the main beats but the lack of book sources suggests the author did not have these to hand, so this can be massively expanded. Moreover, this is a high importance character article that emphasises some storylines and skirts over others, has info in the biography that could be moved (the amount of detail in Lewis's 2018 return for example - Gail has been on the sidelines for several years now and this is more Audrey's storyline, does it really need to be here?). It's an article that would benefit from going over by a single author who can decide on a structure upfront, pick which storylines go where, and redraft it but sympathetically, keeping as much as they can. | |||||||
Rita Tanner | Work needed (20/12/21) | ||||||
Major cleanup tags added to most sections - there is content there, but the gaps are so plentiful that this is going to require a to bottom rewrite. Address list is the only complete section. | |||||||
Sally Metcalfe | Major work needed (4/12/21) | ||||||
Aside from personality, will require a ground-up rewrite. Address list is also complete but missing exact dates. | |||||||
Steve McDonald | Major work needed (18/11/21) | ||||||
Biography in good shape, hitting nearly all the major beats with the only omissions being Steve's affair with Becky and his sale of the Rovers to Stella, plus everything after Ruairi's birth. No Personality, Relationships, Hobbies, only one image, and a scant Background Information so still a lot of work needed. Address list is complete. | |||||||
Kevin Webster | Work needed (5/7/18) | ||||||
Good but out-of-date. An update tag has been added for info after 2018, covering Debbie's return and the Abi years. Debbie and Abi could do with relationship sections as well though with appendices and hobbies now completed, personality is the only section not started. | |||||||
Audrey Roberts | Major work needed (17/12/21) | ||||||
Biography is in terrific shape until we hit 1995. Editors should concentrate their efforts on 1995 to the present day and don't be afraid to chuck away what's already there as there are storylines omitted (Alf's death, battles over the salon with David) or given lip service (Alnma's death, her relationships with Fred and Archie), with Lewis's 2018 return excessively detailed. Beginning afresh would likely be the easier option here. No other sections written apart from one line of background information. | |||||||
David Platt | Work needed (15/12/21) | ||||||
Biography is one of the best on the site. The only omission really is his work at the salon which is only mentioned briefly. Apart from the background information, all sections have a good amount of content. Personality is good, but Relationships repeats too much from the biography, as well as being a touch too plot-heavy - here is where we mention the side-stories such as his and Kylie's battle with Audrey for the salon in 2012 and David finding Ivy's diary in 2006, even one or two non-essentials which could be moved from the biography to trim that section down. As the section name implies, these are meant to illustrate what David's key relationships are and how they've evolved through the years. | |||||||
Roy Cropper | Work needed (17/7/21) | ||||||
In spite of having only two ticks, this article is in fairly good shape. Roy's biggest storylines are well covered in the biography, though the paragraphs on Tony Gordon and Robbie Sloane aren't really about Roy and belong elsewhere. The BGI is the best I've come across but both this and the biography haven't been updated in five years so have been tagged as out of date. | |||||||
Leanne Battersby | Work needed (23/2/21) | ||||||
Despite having only two ticks, this article is close to completion. Both the biography and background information require updates for post-2018 and post-2009 respectively, personality is finished, three out of seven relationship sections have been tagged for expansion, and all sections after the biography require images. This will be a lot of work but for a character of Leanne's longevity, this is really good going and credit to Carterboi33 for the additions. | |||||||
Tracy McDonald | Work needed (19/11/21) | ||||||
Carterboi's excellent update and expansion of this article have elevated it to being one of the best on the site, as of the end of 2018. it's been a quiet couple of years for Tracy since then so there's only really Amy's pregnancy and Tracy sleeping with Paula to add. | |||||||
Tyrone Dobbs | Major work needed (24/7/21) | ||||||
Some parts of the biography concerning Tyrone and Molly's early romance and engagement are salvageable. Aside from that and the intro, there's nothing to see here. Ten freaking years since the last update! 2021 UPDATE: Addresses after 1998 and employment after 2008 are now present | |||||||
Fiz Stape | Major work needed (19/12/21) | ||||||
The biography trails off around mid-2011. I've deleted a section concerning the Maria texting storyline from 2014 as it belongs in Relationships, once that's been created - it can recovered from the edit history then. Pre-2011 is fine although storylines from 2007 onwards are recapped in much more detail than earlier ones and there's no backstory included - her upbringing, bullying of Molly, early encounters with John Stape, there's lots that could go here. Background information is a fraction of the size it should be. | |||||||
Sarah Barlow | Major work needed (15/2/21) | ||||||
Biography is two thirds there - the amount of detail is exactly right, and it's not too weighted towards recent storylines. More on the Lynsay King years and an update for the last four years will make up the remaining third. Apart from that, there's only one image in the article body and a small background information. A minor update to to residences is needed and most of her employment history is missing. | |||||||
Eileen Grimshaw | Major work needed (26/8/21) | ||||||
Aside from the intro, this hasn't been updated since 2010. The biography goes into detail on a handful of storylines (baby Holly, relationship with Jesse Chadwick, Colin's death) and ignores others. No other sections written. | |||||||
Nick Tilsley | Major work needed (28/12/21) | ||||||
Bravo! Excellent biography. There's still a lack of clarity about where Nick is living and working especially in the pre-Bistro days but the storylines that aren't mentioned such as Nick's relationships with Natasha and Eva don't really belong there anyway so that's fine. It needs updating for 2019 onwards which covers a lot of material though. Background information covers the mean beats and no more and as ever there are no personality, relationships, and appendices has a complete address list but only 2017 onwards for the employment history. | |||||||
Sean Tully | Major work needed (28/12/21) | ||||||
Biography is off to a good start. The Violet/Dylan storyline and Sean's homelessness are covered well enough although his relationships with Marcus and Billy are very much skirted over. Then there's the every other section to write from scratch, of course. I've tagged it as having major work required but it's one of the better ones in that category. | |||||||
Maria Connor | Major work needed (12/7/21) | ||||||
Three paragraphs on 2000-2006, skirting over major storylines including most of her relationship with Tyrone (no proposal atop Blackpool Tower, no living with Jack and Vera, no mention of how they met). The following ten years are covered in more detail but could do with a redraft to cut extraneous info and sharpen up the the writing. Biography runs out at 2016, only other sections started are the background information and appendices. The work history is complete as is the address list post-2007, but the BGI is in worse shape with three fairly random stories included and no essentials such as Samia's casting and how her character grew from being Tyrone's girlfriend into a street regular. | |||||||
Dev Alahan | Major work needed (12/1/22) | ||||||
Address list since last update. No other changes. | |||||||
Peter Barlow | Work needed (14/2/21) | ||||||
I'm passing the biography up until Peter's return in 2016 (it's most recent update), but it would benefit from more detailed 1960s and 1970s sections and, for the early 2000s, more clarity about where Peter was living and working (there's no mention of the bookies until 2008, for instance). 2008 onwards verges on too much detail at points, especially the 2015 section where Peter only appeared at Deirdre's funeral, but such info can be moved to Relationships when they're being written. The background information has been passed, though there is room for expansion there too. Nice selection of images. | |||||||
Carla Barlow | Work needed (7/5/21) | ||||||
Updates needed for events since Carla's psychosis storyline in 2019. A day or two's work would finish this off. | |||||||
Kirk Sutherland | Major work needed (19/12/21) | ||||||
Another one to start from scratch. The biography recaps a handful of random storylines. The background information is short but it's a start. | |||||||
Chesney Brown | Major work needed (29/3/21) | ||||||
Biography begins rather abruptly with Chesney's first appearance. His early years are well covered (though the Sophie/Cameron McIntyre and Out of Africa paragraphs are not really relevant. Possibly the John Stape storyline as well). Detail trails off in more recent years but the only major omissions are his schooling and bullying, his work at the market (granted, it was hardly ever seen), his work at the kebab shop and the more recent stuff with Gemma and Emma. As things stand it's one of the better biographies. The page is hurt by the lack of any other sections though. | |||||||
Gary Windass | Major work needed (30/12/21) | ||||||
Notdoppler did a fantastic job with this page back in 2016 - biography, relationships and background are all really good up to this point, but the updates don't keep up the same level of quality in either the style of writing or attention to detail (for example, Gary and Sarah had split up by the time of Rick's death which doesn't match the chronology on the page). Feel free to delete these updates and start again, doing proper research beforehand in order to make sure that nothing important gets missed out. | |||||||
Toyah Battersby | Major work needed (25/2/21) | ||||||
Biography is only fractionally more detailed than the introduction, as well as being two and a half years out of date. A full rewrite is in the cards. | |||||||
Todd Grimshaw | Major work needed (26/8/21) | ||||||
The biography is good from about 2007 to 2015 but severely lacking in detail before and after that, with a jump straight from the 2015 live episode to Todd's 2017 exit and no mention of Billy Mayhew at all. The background information has been started but, as usual, it only covers the basics. | |||||||
Tim Metcalfe | Work needed (4/12/21) | ||||||
This was written in 2015 but besides being out-of-date, it's excessively detailed for the simple reason that Tim has been around for double the length of time now and the level of detail lessens the more long-running the character is. A relationship sub-section for Geoff Metcalfe is a definite and possibly Elaine as well. As well as the main update since 2015, the biography needs an addition to the first section for Tim's childhood which we know more about now. | |||||||
Jenny Connor | Work needed (8/5/21) | ||||||
Up-to-date as of its last MOT in November 2019. Update tags added to biography and the Johnny relationship which are the areas to focus on. | |||||||
Mary Taylor | Major work needed (20/12/21) | ||||||
Biography is in terrific shape until mid-2010 but there are whole years missing after this with no mention of Mary losing her motor home or working for Tracy. It's considerably out of date as well with the last update being in early 2017. As for the rest of the article, BGI is missing casting info (at the bare minimum) and relationships has very little in it too. It does have full Appendices though so that's something. | |||||||
Amy Barlow | Good (24/1/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Beth Sutherland | Major work needed (19/12/21) | ||||||
There's not much here worth keeping. The biography covers Beth's arrival up until she started dating Kirk but even that's missing her coming to work at Underworld so the entire section will have to be checked over for omissions. Since then we've met her family and found out about Darryl Parkins, we know enough now for a redraft to start from Beth's birth. Two of the three points in the background information relate only to Beth the character. Address list is complete for Beth's time in the programme, but employment history only goes from 2018 onwards. | |||||||
Simon Barlow | Work needed (15/2/21) | ||||||
Pascal11 wrote this article several years ago and did a damn good job with it. The biography up to 2016 doesn't need to be touched so I have added an 'update' tag for everything afterwards - the Tyler storylines, Oliver's death, looking after Leanne, and the current drugs storyline. Other sections are as bitty as everyone else's. Residences missing everything pre-2018. Main image badly needs updated as well. | |||||||
Izzy Armstrong | Major work needed (20/1/21) | ||||||
Biography is very good up until the end of the surrogacy storyline. After this, it becomes more about Gary with paragraphs on his fake death and one-night-stand with Nicola having even though they've got buggar all to do with Izzy. | |||||||
Adam Barlow | Major work needed (24/1/21) | ||||||
"Serviceable" about sums it up. A thin biography trails off in 2017, and a minimalist background section covers the 'what' while leaving out the 'why'. The address list is complete though which was a nice surprise. Even though I'd classify the pre-2017 biography as adequate, every line of it needs expansion so, in effect, this will need a complete rewrite. | |||||||
Faye Windass | Major work needed (30/12/21) | ||||||
Biography is not too bad, there are gaps though namely Faye's backstory, gaining contact with Tim, and everything between meeting Seb and joining the bistro. Appendices are complete, no other sections started. | |||||||
Ryan Connor | Major work needed (16/7/21) | ||||||
Storylines are either covered well (the baby swap, 2012-13 stint, relationship with Bethany) or bypassed (backstory, arrival in Weatherfield, 2010 departure). Hopefully, this means that a complete biography is just a matter of plugging the holes. BGI, though brief, is only really missing Ryan's initial introduction. No images, peronality or relationships and the appendices are out of date. So it isn't horrible. | |||||||
Daniel Osbourne | Major work needed (14/12/21) | ||||||
The period up to Daniel's return in 2016 is well documented, but it very much stops there. | |||||||
Alya Nazir | Major work needed (13/12/21) | ||||||
The biography adequately covers Alya's first four years, minus images and an introductory paragraph going over Alya's early life including her studies. The appendices and background information have been started but are nowhere near comprehensive. The last two years and all other sections still to be written. Address list is complete but employment history only has the bistro and Speed Daal. | |||||||
Billy Mayhew | Major work needed (7/11/21) | ||||||
The biography is a random collection of side-stories - Billy and Sean meeting the homophobic landlord in the Peak District, the modern slavery storyline - worth a mention in the article, but not in Billy's biography. The parts that form the core of his story - everything with Todd, Summer, and his brother Lee - are brushed over with a minimum of detail. Sadly this looks like another one we'll have to start from scratch. | |||||||
Johnny Connor | Work needed (8/5/21) | ||||||
A biography that's off to a good start, especially the oft-brushed over backstory. The MS storyline is missing and it needs an update for everything after July 2018, including the revelations about his involvement with Scott Emberton. Johnny's address list is complete, though not his employment history. | |||||||
Gemma Winter | Major work needed (31/12/21) | ||||||
Comprehensive coverage of Gemma's "guest star" period in the biography - this should be combined into one section and trimmed now that Gemma has been around a while. The section runs up to 2016 when Gemma was taken on at the kebab shop so a lot of ground to cover still. The background information is nearly finished, depending on how much there is to say about her more recent storylines - Chesney, the quads, the introductions of Bernie and Paul. | |||||||
Yasmeen Nazir | Major work needed (4/12/21) | ||||||
A background information section only giving the basics of her introduction and a biography that plucks random events out of thin air to mention pre-2016 and is sketchy after that. I could go into more detail but there's nothing here worth saving sans the intro. | |||||||
Craig Tinker | Major work needed (28/12/21) | ||||||
Most sections have something in them now that the 'Other Information' has been broken up, nevertheless this article has major omissions. Taking the biography - it mentions Craig meeting Caitlin but says nothing further about their relationship, the beginnings of Craig's interest in the police is missing, as is his time cleaning windows with Tim and everything from the past four years. Gaps that will leap out at anyone reading it. Another for the total rewrite pile, salvaging what we can. | |||||||
Max Turner | Major work needed (28/12/21) | ||||||
Only Max's debut storyline with Kylie selling him to Becky is covered in detail, probably more than is necessary considering that Max was just a child and therefore not the one driving the story forward - Becky robbing the Corner Shop for example isn't really relevant here. The biography trails off after 2011 with only the start of the Callum storyline. BGI covers the recasting well enough but has nothing on the character's creation. Address list complete. | |||||||
Brian Packham | Major work needed (15/12/21) | ||||||
The 2010-2015 years are on the right track, albeit a tad bloated in parts (the bit about Russ Gray can go, for sure). An update should start from Brian's 2016 return now that we can view that storyline in context of what followed. The background information is one of the longer ones but much of it is dating Brian's various comings and goings and storyline recaps - storylines should only be mentioned here if we have some production insight on them. No images, and no other sections apart from the address list, which is complete. | |||||||
Cathy Matthews | Work needed (5/11/21) | ||||||
Another kitchen sink biography, with nothing in the other sections. As the information is at least on the page and well written, I make this a lower priority to rewrite. The biography does only run up to 2017 though and there are certain bits that go into detail beyond the remit of Cathy's page, such as Carla and Nick's wedding - we don't need to know what went on at the altar, all that matters is that Carla hit Cathy with her car. | |||||||
Shona Platt | Major work needed (15/12/21) | ||||||
Biography is three years out of date, covering everything up to David's rape storyline. Everything else as indicated above. | |||||||
Abi Franklin | Major work needed (15/8/21) | ||||||
A character who first appeared in Oct 2017 has a 2930-word biography that only takes us up to February 2019. Did some calculations and if Ken Barlow's article covered time so glacially, his biography would be longer than three Harry Potter books. Please, please condense! We have episode pages for the nitty gritty details - that isn't what these pages are for. In particular, the parts involving her time in prison with Sally (the fact that she was in prison and befriended Sally there, yes, everything else no), the boat fire (she was innocent, so this should be dealt with in one paragraph), and her kiss with Steve (relevant, but too long). In addition to the unwritten sections and two years of updates, this is going to be a big job not far short of from writing an entirely new article. | |||||||
Asha Alahan | Major work needed (9/1/22) | ||||||
Still a really good article but getting rather out-of-date now with the undressing video saga being the last thing added to the biography. | |||||||
Hope Stape | Work needed (19/12/21) | ||||||
Update needed for events since the Jade storyline. I'd say Hope is old enough to get a Personality section as well. Everything else complete. | |||||||
Zeedan Nazir | Work work needed (13/12/21) | ||||||
No significant gaps in Zeedan's first two years but it's very thin on detail, more of a bulletized list of events than full paragraphs. I doubt any of this is usable but it could serve as a checklist to make sure nothing is omitted in a rewrite. BGI has been started with only the nuts and bolts so far. There will be much more to say about Zeedan given his role in the Kana storyline. | |||||||
Imran Habeeb | Major work needed (29/8/21) | ||||||
A typical example of a biography started when the character first appeared, added to as he popped up in minor roles, and abandoned about the time he became a regular. This will need a second look not just for the updates since late 2018 (when he first moved in with Toyah), but to trim what's already there, removing the storylines that don't contribute to the whole or moving them to another section, none of which have been started. | |||||||
Emma Brooker | Major work needed (29/3/21) | ||||||
An article that needed trimmed and to be honest I could have taken more out - to be clear, I didn't remove anything related to Emma. It was a case of "too much information". For example, I felt Emma's story was being drowned out by details of David's rape plot which she had only a peripheral involvement in. Also needs updated for events since autumn 2018. The background information has the essentials in amongst puff quotes promoting the current storyline which are not very interesting. Quotes should give readers insight into either the writing or performance of the character. | |||||||
Aadi Alahan | Major work neeeded (9/1/22) | ||||||
Barely touched since the last update. Aadi had a busy 2021 so the amount of work to finish this page has doubled, with no mention of Summer, the crash, his entrepreneurship, Kelly, or the Corey climax. His shop manager titles mean an employment history is now possible as well. | |||||||
Ruby Dobbs | N/A | Work needed (24/7/21) | |||||
Just an update for the current storyline with Alina. Biography's big enough for an image as well. | |||||||
Lily Platt | N/A | Work needed (15/12/21) | |||||
A minor update to the biography needed for Shona's arrival onwards. | |||||||
Evelyn Plummer | Major work needed (16/12/21) | ||||||
No updates since a few weeks after Evelyn's introduction. | |||||||
Paul Foreman | Major work needed (14/8/21) | ||||||
Biography spans Paul's birth to his 2019 return, including the Kel backstory, though the latter doesn't go into any detail. Appendices are complete and up-to-date, BGI is a single line, and nothing else is on the page. | |||||||
Summer Spellman | Work needed (19/12/21) | ||||||
An update for the last year needed: Todd's betrayal, diabetes, everything with Nina, Seb and Kelly, her crush on Daniel and Max's allegations. | |||||||
Natasha Blakeman | Work needed (25/3/21) | ||||||
The last update was in September last year when Natasha had only just returned which affects both the biography and background information. Previous parts of the biography could do with going over again and deciding which parts really need to be there. | |||||||
Jack Webster | Work needed (29/12/21) | ||||||
An update to the biography post-sepsis storyline, personality and a completed address list will complete the page. BGI covers the recastings and Jack's off-screen periods which is adequate for a character of this age. | |||||||
Liam Connor | Work needed (9/5/21) | ||||||
Biography runs to 2014. Background has room for expansion, to explain the changes in actors if nothing else. | |||||||
Joseph Brown | Major work needed (29/3/21) | ||||||
Intro and background - check. No other sections started. | |||||||
Nina Lucas | Major work needed (29/10/21) | ||||||
A couple of paragraphs have been written covering the hate crime storyline, making this virtually up-to-date in that sense, but there are a lot of gaps. The telltale sign is that there things mentioned in the intro which are missing from the bio, such as Nina's design work with Underworld - okay, not much screentime has been devoted to it, but a good biography has to mention what Nina does for a living. Her relationship with Asha is glossed over as well. | |||||||
Michael Bailey | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
Biography is just a recap of Michael's history with Grace plus the Tianna twist, but manages not to mention that Grace wasn't Tianna's mother. Apart from the intro and appendices, this is another blank slate. | |||||||
Ed Bailey | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
Sections completed as indicated above. The biography, though covering the first month or so of Ed's time in the programme in detail, is ripe for trimming down now that Ed's been around a couple of years. It's also missing a scene-setting paragraph with an explanation of why the Baileys moved to the street. | |||||||
Alina Pop | Unrated | ||||||
No comments | |||||||
Debbie Webster | Major work needed (29/12/21) | ||||||
Biography stops after Debbie's 2019 return, leaving a lot of ground to cover both before and after this as subsequent episodes have filled in some of her missing years. BGI can be expanded with comments from Sue Devaney - check her recent Conversation Street interview. Employment history gives her current portfolio only but address list is comprehensive given that we don't know where Debbie is living now. | |||||||
Bernie Winter | Major work needed (31/12/21) | ||||||
Biography covers Bernie's introduction only. BGI is a single piece of trivia. Address list is complete. No other sections started. | |||||||
Alex Warner | Major work needed (29/12/21) | ||||||
Alex's first few appearances are overly detailed, a hangover from his "guest character" days. The rest is a grab bag of minor roles, omitting his one major story concerning his paternity. However, Alex appears so little that these minor appearances are still worth having on the page, otherwise there's going to be very little here. | |||||||
Aggie Bailey | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
An intro, appendices and some family trivia in Relationships. | |||||||
James Bailey | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
Biography only covers James's very first appearance. I've left it there in case whoever writes the page wants to use it. | |||||||
Harry Platt | N/A | Good (15/12/21) | |||||
Completed page. Character is currently off-screen due to the pandemic. | |||||||
Jake WindassFile:Jake Windass Bradshaw.png | N/A | Good (30/12/21) | |||||
Completed page. Short but Jake has only just scraped 100 appearances in nine years. | |||||||
Bertie Osbourne | N/A | Good (14/12/21) | |||||
The measles storyline was the last time Bertie was at the forefront, obviously Covid has kept him mostly off-screen for the past two years. Therefore, this article is complete and up-to-date. | |||||||
Daisy Midgeley | Work needed (13/12/21) | ||||||
There isn't much here - the biography is mostly about Jenny and Johnny's marriage problems and no other sections have been started. But Daisy is a recent addition so this wouldn't take long to write. | |||||||
Kelly Neelan | Work needed (14/12/21) | ||||||
A corker of an article by Rorylufc. Only the personality section is missing plus her work history (just the Trim Up North position she's had for a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken). Personality may be a good place to dump details of Kelly's relationship with Laura, including the hints of neglect and abuse and Kelly reporting her for child cruelty. | |||||||
Grace Vickers | Unrated | ||||||
No comments | |||||||
George Shuttleworth | Work needed (19/12/21) | ||||||
Another biography that covers the character's early appearances only, with no other sections started. | |||||||
Sam Blakeman | Work needed (13/12/21) | ||||||
Some connecting tissue is missing - Sam's first proper meeting with Nick, everything involving Oliver, Natasha's comings and goings from London leading to Sam living with Nick. The setup for Sam's first appearance is the only part covered in detail. BGI needs creation and casting info. | |||||||

Ronnie Bailey | Work needed (12/12/21) | ||||||
Update needed to biography for events post-April 2021; everything with Jenny and Debbie in the main, plus his divorce from Kat. No other sections started which is unsurprising as Ronnie was only recently bumped up to regular. |
Former cast: High priority
Name | Lead | Bio | Rest | BGI | Apps | Images | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Deirdre Barlow | Work needed (25/1/21) | ||||||
Biography is in good shape though key storylines could be expanded, namely the Wendy Crozier affair, Deirdre and Ken's bitter divorce, the Weatherfield One, Ken and Deirdre's re-marriage and Ray's death. These are mentioned, but the first few especially are critical to Deirdre's story. There are brief personality, hobbies and role in the community section and relationships that are so thin they might just as well be deleted - these really bring the article down. Background information is superb though and gets a strong pass. Appendices are half done with just the jobs to fill out. | |||||||
Emily Bishop | Work needed (25/3/21) | ||||||
Just an employment history away from good status now. | |||||||
Betty Williams | Major work needed (10/7/18) | ||||||
Biography covers all the main storylines, despite its brevity. Background information could do with expansion particularly on Betty's early years. No other sections written yet. | |||||||
Liz McDonald | Work needed (18/11/21) | ||||||
Biography is getting there - it's good from about 1995 until 2008 with some major omissions from other years including backstory, the McDonalds' arrival, Katie's death, her breakdown and relationship with Lloyd in 2009, and her romances after 2013. With images and sub-sections merged it'll be finished. A great start has been made on the BGI too but it's nowhere near comprehensive. No other sections written. | |||||||
Mike Baldwin | Major work needed (24/1/21) | ||||||
The sale of the factory up until Mike's marriage to Jackie is covered in exhaustive detail, with other years covered more briefly. Unfortunately, there are still major omissions with no mention of Underworld, the Don Brennan feud, or the sportswear factory. It'll be a lot of work to get the biography into shape, but plenty of it is salvagablable. BGI is much too short for a character of Mike's standin, saying nothing about the character pre-2004, and no other sections have been started. | |||||||
Vera Duckworth | Major work needed (25/7/21) | ||||||
Biography is really unbalanced as the majority of it is not detailed enough (and not in chronological order, as preferred) and Vera's last year has too much detail, especially her death and subsequent mentions the latter of which belongs in other sections. A start has been made on BGI but that's it. | |||||||
Jack Duckworth | Major work needed (25/7/21) | ||||||
Much like Vera's page, the biography lacks detail and isn't organised chronologically, although the section on Jack's death is good. A minimal BGI section and nothing else on the page. | |||||||
Bet Lynch | Work needed (29/10/21) | ||||||
Carterboi and NathanJohnson have completed the biography and background info since the last check in 2018. Bravo! Further research may uncover more, particularly with regard to particular storylines and Julie Goodyear's 1966 casting, but there's nothing overtly missing in either section. No personality or relationships yet, and these will be a big job on their own, so there's still a lot to do here. But definitely one we can take off the major additions pile. I do have a qualm with the images though - these should depict particular storylines, instead of just generic images of Bet in particular years. | |||||||
Mavis Wilton | Good (31/12/18) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Alf Roberts | Good (16/10/18) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Len Fairclough | Good (27/7/21) | ||||||
This gets a pass but it's far from perfect. The language and phrasing used in the body of the article is rudimentary and repetitive. I've tidied it up as best I can without a full rewrite. | |||||||
Annie Walker | Good (16/10/18) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Norris Cole | Work needed (5/5/21) | ||||||
Cracking article! Good work editors. The biography fails only for the two timeline gaps which have neen tagged, the later sections on a short-ish Mary relationship section, and images for the lack of visuals on the page. We could even stretch to a Ken sub section and add the Stillwaters storylines there. But this is very, very close to completion and was a pleasure to read. The hobbies and interests section in particular was a delight - nice when there's a lot to say! | |||||||
Martin Platt | Major work needed (17/10/18) | ||||||
Total rewrite needed apart from the intro. The biography is missing chunks including everything from 1991-1999, but the section on post-2005 mentions of Martin will prove useful when the time comes. The Background Information is in a similar state, going over his exit and return but nothing more. This may become a priority if Sean Wilson returns again. | |||||||
Michelle Connor | Major work needed (13/7/21) | ||||||
Much of the information in the biography would be better placed in other sections, particularly the parts about Michelle's first relationship with Steve which is practically an episode-by-episode synopsis which we try to avoid as it doesn't make for good reading. I've placed Incomplete tags at appropriate points in the biography where there are significant gaps, namely mid-2008-mid-2010 and 2011-2016. Background information is off to a nice start. Address list is complete. | |||||||
Elsie Tanner | Good (26/10/18) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Hilda Ogden | Good (23/10/18) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Curly Watts | Major work needed (9/11/18) | ||||||
Move along, nothing to see here! The page has more to say about Kevin Kennedy's much-expressed desire to return to the programme than about Curly himself. For the same reason as Martin Platt, this could be one to watch. | |||||||
Sophie Webster | Work needed (19/1/19) | ||||||
A lot of work has gone into the page and there's some good writing here. Nevertheless, there are gaps in the biography, notably where Sophie's sexuality is discovered and most of Sophie and Maddie's relationship. It also gets a tad too detailed in the latter sections which cover her romance with Paula Martin (and yet, very little about Sophie's involvement in Sally's court case). There are quite a few tangents which belong elsewhere, such as the Ronan Truman subplot and the Rovers fire (which barely concerned Sophie). The relationship section isn't divided up into subsections and mostly regurtitates the broad strokes already written into the biography. This could be wiped and started from scratch without losing anything. As a whole, it's good enough that I haven't added the 'major cleanup' but it's on the cusp. | |||||||
Janice Battersby | Major work needed (23/2/21) | ||||||
The biography jumps from 1997 to 2005 - nearly all of Janice's major storylines happened in this gap, so it gets a major cleanup tag even though the portion on 2007-11 needs only a little bit of tidying up. Personality, Relationships and Background Information have been started but only contain the broad strokes. | |||||||
Jason Grimshaw | Major work needed (26/8/21) | ||||||
Another article with a biography which focuses on the character's love life and pretty much ignores his work history and family life. There are significant gaps in that area too, with Jason's relationships with Tina, Rosie, Stella and Eva wholly missing, though the Sarah and Violet years are covered well enough. This will likely need a ground-up re-write in any case. No other sections written yet. | |||||||
Hayley Cropper | Good (17/7/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Rosie Webster | Major work needed (27/1/19) | ||||||
One section of the biography covering 2005-08 is reasonably detailed, though will need redrafted as part of a full section rewrite. As for the rest, there's just too much missing for anything less than a major cleanup tag. | |||||||
Albert Tatlock | Good (2/2/19) | ||||||
Satisfactory but brief for such a major character, and my all-time favourite. Watch this space. | |||||||
Ashley Peacock | Major work needed (4/2/19) | ||||||
The Casey affair is the only storyline covered in detail, and there are loads of gaps, including no mention (outside the intro) of Matt Ramsden being Joshua's father. No other sections started yet aside from a background information that begins with the character's axing. | |||||||
Stan Ogden | Major work needed (11/2/19) | ||||||
The Biography is ported from Wikipedia (and in the correct tense thankfully) so it's readable, with all the main beats. We do like to delve deeper though and the fact that it's copied from another site is a big no-no. | |||||||
Jim McDonald | Major work needed (17/11/21) | ||||||
I'll avoid repeating what I said in Rana Habeeb's review as the editor responsible for this article is no longer on the site. Suffice to say, it had all the same problems. The biography is now in a readable condition but still sufficiently choppy that the major cleanup tag remains in place. A perfunctory background information and a wrongly formatted appendix rounds off the page. | |||||||
Ivy Brennan | Good (1/7/21) | ||||||
Struggled to find decent images for some sections. | |||||||
Ena Sharples | Work needed (17/2/19) | ||||||
Integrating the 'Other information' section, expanding the BGI and formatting it into paragraphs, and writing the appendices will bring this up to 'Good' standard. However it speeds through Ena's history so fast that I feel there's a far better page in here. For example, the 1963 storyline where the vestry is wrecked by Michael Butterworth had a long build-up where Ena had refused to allow a children's party to be held at the Mission causing everyone to turn against her. This goes unmentioned despite being crucial to the story and many other storylines are similarly missing context. | |||||||
Alma Halliwell | Major work needed (30/8/21) | ||||||
Another cut and paste job. | |||||||
Fred Elliott | Major work needed (26/7/21) | ||||||
Yet another biography ported from another site, and one that doesn't fit our tone, I say it doesn't fit our tone (sorry, couldn't resist). Anyone working on this page should start off by wiping the biography. | |||||||
Anna Windass | Major work needed (24/3/19) | ||||||
Biography patchy until 2016, but pretty good after that. Anna's relationship with Owen is almost entirely glossed over and, despite the heavy detail covering Phelan's return, his original stint isn't mentioned. Appendices need checking for exact dates, especially when Anna stopped cleaning the Rovers. | |||||||
Les Battersby-Brown | Work needed (27/2/21) | ||||||
Biography is very good with no obvious gaps. A few images will finish that section off. The background section has been started but is nowhere near comprehensive. All other sections still to be written. A lot of work to do but it's further along than most. | |||||||
Minnie Caldwell | Work needed (10/4/21) | ||||||
Two appendices, a hobbies and interests and a full background information away from 'good'. As another rush job from the early days of the site, however, a do-over would benefit it greatly. Minnie's marriage to Armistead is covered in greater detail on his page, including the Marple Lakes story - that should be mentioned somewhere. | |||||||
Percy Sugden | Major work needed (13/4/19) | ||||||
Yet more cutting and pasting. The tone of the biography is all wrong for our site. | |||||||
Lloyd Mullaney | Work needed (6/12/21) | ||||||
Fantastic biography! One small change would be to start the story with Lloyd's birth and mention the Kamaras in the first section in order to set the stage for Mandy and Jenna's arrival in 2012. Apart from that, it's exactly what we're looking for. Other sections have at least been started, and appendices are complete too. Good selection and spacing of images as well. Bravo. | |||||||
Bethany Platt | Good (22/7/19) | ||||||
That's more like it! Carterboi (and others) have crafted a fantastic article on Bethany and clearly done their research. Personality is tagged as incomplete however while it could certainly be expanded I'd still classify it as adequate, hence the 'Good' rating for the article as a whole. The Background information could probably be fleshed out too, as it only runs up to Bethany's re-introduction. Relationship sections on Callum and Nathan went over the same ground as the Biography hence their removal but Craig does deserve one. I only took it off because it was one sentence long which would have caused the article to be downgraded. Another image or two in the latter sections would spruce it up too. | |||||||
Tina McIntyre | Work needed (21/11/21) | ||||||
A good article, but not quite a "Good" one. A completed appendices and a fleshed out relationship with David will earn it the promotion. Beyond that, there's too much repetition from biography in the relationships section - either trim the biography, or lose the sub-sections on Jason and Graeme. Possiby add a section on Rita too, as her interactions with Tina aren't really covered anywhere. | |||||||
Alec Gilroy | Good (24/8/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Blanche Hunt | Major work needed (11/9/21) | ||||||
Surprisingly little on the page considering Blanche's popularity. All the key events are at least mentioned in the biography, ready and waiting for someone to come along and beef them up. Suggestions are to introduce Dave Smith before their reunion in 1976, and move the AA meeting and George Wilson paragraphs to other sections, possibly personality (a good place for examples of her putdowns). | |||||||
Ray Langton | Major work needed (28/9/21) | ||||||
The intro and some details about Ray's background and his missing years can stay, the rest can go. | |||||||
Jack Walker | Work needed (29/6/19) | ||||||
As one of the earliest pages written, this falls short of the level of detail we now expect. However, the background information is the only section where this really hurts the quality of the article. Two other issues are the publicity shot in the infobox rather than a screencap and the lack of appendices. A day's work maybe? | |||||||
Des Barnes | Good (23/2/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Eva Price | Major work needed (25/7/19) | ||||||
Not great. The biography does admittedly cover most of Eva's principal storylines pre-2017. The only glaring omission that comes to mind is Eva's split from Nick (in fact, most of their relationship). However, it's all condensed into one section and is really just the starting point for a full rework. Relationships and BGI are in a similar state. | |||||||
Shelley Unwin | Major work needed (11/8/19) | ||||||
The biography is dominated by the Charlie Stubbs storyline. Everything around it needs fleshing out, especially Shelley's first couple of years on the show. | |||||||
Sunita Alahan | Work needed (6/1/21) | ||||||
A very good biography, missing only Sunita's reconciliation with her parents and the resolution of the tram crash storyline where Becky confessed to stealing from the shop. The remainder of the article is as thin as usual. | |||||||
Lucille Hewitt | Work needed (1/9/21) | ||||||
Another one almost untouched since the early days of the site. Fails for having incomplete appendices, with previous issues now solved. The earlier sections are fine in that they contain all the info but they aren't great as pieces of prose in their own right. Possibly the worst image selection of any page yet which is another symptom of the time it was written when we had far fewer episodes at our disposal. | |||||||
Don Brennan | Major work needed (26/3/21) | ||||||
Nothing but headings and cleanup tags. No Don fans willing to take the plunge? | |||||||
Derek Wilton | Major work needed (9/11/19) | ||||||
The biography was copied from another site, so out it went. The tone didn't fit Corriepedia anyway. So this is another one that's effectively a blank page. | |||||||
Becky McDonald | Major work needed (16/11/21) | ||||||
A patchwork. There is a decent-sized biography however some chapters in Becky's life are skipped over - her debut and initial storyline with Kelly Crabtree, her re-introduction, her affair with Steve, the double proposal, and the wedding day arrest. What's there isn't especially well-written with little focus or flow to it. The other sections have been started but are a long way from being complete. | |||||||
Dennis Tanner | Work needed (26/11/19) | ||||||
Very close to making the grade, but the personality and hobbies sections could be better and relationships has still to be written - there's a wealth of unmentioned material for an Elsie sub-section. Other information needs to go as well. | |||||||
Claire Peacock | Major work needed (14/4/20) | ||||||
The biography grows more detailed as it goes on, as her first three years are covered in three lines and her final months have four paragraphs devoted to them. Nothing is overly detailed, at least - 2008 onwards can probably be kept as is. There is also no mention of her work after quitting nannying, and no images. As for the other sections, a short background information is all there is. | |||||||
Julie Carp | Major work needed (10/4/21) | ||||||
Holy moly! The level of writing here is the sort that gives wikias a bad name - random tense changes, swathes of irrelevant info, timeline gaps, the lot. It's readable now and covers all the basics, but it's still badly written so I can't sign off on it. A start has been made to personality which makes a refreshing change. | |||||||
Maxine Peacock | Major work needed (15/4/20) | ||||||
Again, the biography isn't much longer than lead section and skips over entire years. This one, at least, reads like a piece of prose and not a Frankenstein's monster. | |||||||
Jerry Booth | Good (25/3/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Valerie Barlow | Good (23/2/21) | ||||||
Definitely the least good 'Good' article yet. It's very short for someone who was around as long as Val and some plots are the thinnest of story outlines - Ken's affair with Jackie Marsh being one with no mention of how Val found out. A revisit should include mention of how Val dealt with Ken's snobby friends including their row in 1963 when he went out with Marian Lund which was a big deal. | |||||||
Kylie Platt | Good (18/4/20) | ||||||
Appendices need exact dates but otherwise complete. | |||||||
Andy McDonald | Major work needed (12/11/21) | ||||||
BGI is complete though a quote or two would go well with the prose, especially from Nick Cochrane. Address list is complete for 1989 onwards but a few entries are missing exact date. | |||||||
Sinead Tinker | Work needed (22/4/20) | ||||||
Sinead's page has been gutted to half its original size removing most of the repetition and irrelevant relationship sections. What's left covers Sinead's storylines adequately although there are a few too many instances of "so and so finds out about____" with no explanation of how they did so - these need to be checked over and details added. Apart from that, all sections need to be updated for Sinead's final year, a section on the Tinker family added to put in more about Sinead's upbringing (see the episodes just before her death) and the background information only goes into her introduction at present. | |||||||
Fred Gee | Major work needed (24/8/21) | ||||||
Bit of a strange one - the biography isn't much larger than the intro (and even has some of the same wording) however as all story beats are technically covered I have passed it. That's not to say it can't be greatly expanded to put some meat on those bones. The rest of the article is as slight as usual, with no relationships or appendices. | |||||||
Bill Webster | Good (12/5/20) | ||||||
Personality, relationship and BGI sections are a tad brief but serviceable. | |||||||
Owen Armstrong | Work needed (20/1/21) | ||||||
I hate to criticise this one. And indeed, if the article was just a biography, this would only be missing the 2012 surrogacy storyline. However, in being so all-encompassing it doesn't always tell Owen's story from his perspective, or stick to the events which most shaped his life. The 2011 storyline of Eileen stealing from Owen is one that didn't really amount to anything and could go elsewhere, perhaps Personality as it came during Owen's 'villain' phase. But this would be very much a matter of whittling down what's there rather than a full rewrite. Other sections are slim, as usual. | |||||||
Raquel Watts | Major work needed (28/5/20) | ||||||
Clean slate, folks. | |||||||
Brian Tilsley | Work needed (29/5/20) | ||||||
Intro and biography completed, the rest not started. | |||||||
Eddie Yeats | Work needed (29/5/20) | ||||||
A few very minor issues holding this one back - the 'Other information' section needs to go, background information to be re-formatted as prose, and appendices written. There are better images at our disposal as well compared with 2008 when this was written, not the least of which is a screencap for the main image. The article itself isn't bad for an early effort, though the personality section badly needs examples to illustrate the points it makes. |
Former cast: Medium priority
Name | Lead | Bio | Rest | BGI | Apps | Images | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kelly Crabtree | Work needed (17/7/21) | ||||||
The short biography adequately covers Kelly's one major storyline, on that basis I've gone for the 'update' tag for the bits and pieces from 2006-9 and her exit storyline. There's nothing else on the page but for a supporting character like Kelly there won't be much to add. | |||||||
Robert Preston | Major work neeeded (4/6/20) | ||||||
There's the beginnings of a good page here. The period up to Robert's split from Tracy in 2016 is exhaustively covered - there'll be a lot of unnecessary detail needing taken out here. Then, a major update for Robert's last three years. The background information section looks good, amply covering Robert's introduction, recasting and exit, so it gets a pass. Other sections are not started (personality/relationships) or in progress (appendices). | |||||||
Phyllis Pearce | Work needed (4/6/20) | ||||||
A short biography but one whose length befits the small role that Phyllis played. Most of Phyllis's storylines revolved around Percy so the lack of a relationship section does hurt the article. The Des section could be a lot longer as well. No other sections started. | |||||||
Karen McDonald | Work needed (17/11/21) | ||||||
The biography makes for a terrific read. There are a few storylines that will sit better in a personality or relationship section, particularly from the 2004 portion, but I'm happy to leave them where they are for the moment. BGI has been started, but is a long way from being complete. | |||||||
Fiona Middleton | Major work needed (4/12/21) | ||||||
Completely blank apart from the intro and a background note on Fiona's 2019 return. | |||||||
Natalie Barnes | Major work needed (23/2/21) | ||||||
The biography gives a good surface level recap of Natalie's storylines, but doesn't quite work as a biography - there's no backstory nor mention of her marriage to Nick Horrocks, and lacks details on where Natalie was living, and the storyline where Kevin bought her out of the garage is missing. Also no mention of her giving birth to Laura after she left the show. Nothing on the rest of the page. | |||||||
Violet Wilson | Major work needed (13/6/20) | ||||||
Violet's biography nearly gets a pass, though it is rather choppily written. More info on her relationship with Jason is needed - how they got together, how was she "seduced" by Charlie, why did they get back together. There's the usual problems of where Violet was living not being mentioned, other than her moving into No.11, and no backstory. The rest of the page is a blank slate. | |||||||
Molly Dobbs | Work needed (22/7/21) | ||||||
The biography is pretty much there, even though the detail is slanted towards her last two years this reflects Molly's larger role from 2008 onwards. There aren't any images but I've granted a pass to the text portion of the biography, with all other sections bar the (short) BGI yet to be started. | |||||||
Maud Grimes | Major work needed (26/8/21) | ||||||
Another classic character with no page to speak of. | |||||||
Stella Price | Work needed (28/6/20) | ||||||
Stella's biography is short in parts, especially the 2012 portion with Karl and Sunita's affair, but gets the job done. The BGI covers the basics but lacks detail. All other sections not started. | |||||||
Tommy Duckworth | Work needed (25/7/21) | ||||||
Those ticks are looking good! The only parts missing are Personality, a full Relationships section (not that Tommy would have an especially large one), and a comprehensive employment history. | |||||||
Kate Connor | Major work needed (8/5/21) | ||||||
Kate's backstory and introductory storyline are very covered. Somewhat surprisingly, it's the Rana sections that are most lacking although everything from the beginning of 2016 onwards needs gone through. There was a lot of unsourced information from the background information under controversies, with a sub-section about the "bury your gays" trope. When properly sourced, this can be re-added, keeping in mind that this is Kate's page and not Rana's. Address list is complete but Kate's employment history only has her work at the bistro. | |||||||
Gary Mallett | Major work needed (31/10/21) | ||||||
The biography is marked as being ported from Wikipedia, so anyone writing the page should remove this. No other sections started. | |||||||
Charlie Stubbs | Work needed (19/7/20) | ||||||
Biography covers all the main story beats, and even has an introduction. The only part that needs changing is the section on on Holly - this should either be moved or deleted, since Holly has her own page anyway, while keeping mention of Charlie meeting Emma and fathering the child. No other sections started and no images either, besides the main one. | |||||||
Jamie Baldwin | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
Shortest page I've come across. | |||||||
Maggie Cooke | Good (16/7/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Ernest Bishop | Major work needed (25/3/21) | ||||||
Biography is half the size of the intro - there's nothing worth keeping here. In splitting up the 'Other Information' section, with info on references to Ernie after his death, I've created a relationship section with Emily for these but there will be a whole lot more to add to it. In fact, all sections are so short that it's basically a whole new article we need. | |||||||
Reg Holdsworth | Work needed (8/9/21) | ||||||
Article is really coming along, missing only relationships though completed sections are lacking images. BGI only mentions his return appearances. | |||||||
Ciaran McCarthy | Major work needed (7/11/21) | ||||||
Another patchy biography with nothing else on the page. Ciaran's 2004 relationship with Tracy and the restaurant scam is the one major omission. Other than that, it's just a general clean-up needed and info moved to appropriate sections and the biography will get a pass, given that Ciaran was never that big a character. | |||||||
Billy Walker | Good (22/6/18) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Maureen Webster | Work needed (22/7/20) | ||||||
While brief, the biography does cover all of Maureen's history including her backstory. Nice image selection as well. No personality or relationships and the BGI only mentions (though not in great detail) her axing and 2006 return. | |||||||
Candice Stowe | Major work needed (31/7/20) | ||||||
Just an intro. | |||||||
Irma Barlow | Good (30/1/21) | ||||||
The level of detail in the biography is bang on, sans a couple of storylines that could be moved to a beefed up relationships section - Stan, Hilda and David all deserve sections. The Hotspurs and Ron Jenkins storylines, for example. Could do with mentioning Irma's love/hate relationship with the shop and how she couldn't stand living in Australia as context for the car crash. Just throwing some suggestions in there. | |||||||
Katy Armstrong | Major work needed (20/1/21) | ||||||
Katy's first year is covered in some detail, then we jump from Joseph's birth to 2014, skipping over her affair with Ryan and breakup with Chesney (just saying that they happened isn't sufficient for a biography - we want detail!). Other than that, there's just some bullet points in the background information, which again need fleshing out. | |||||||
Danny Baldwin | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
A very short biography actually covers most of the essentials, but misses some key details such as the the circumstances of his arrival in Weatherfield, buying into Underworld, and why the Baldwins were renting No.7, plus there is no mention of his first wife Carol. These would be simple to insert but a more detailed rewrite would be preferable. | |||||||
Bev Unwin | Work needed (26/8/20) | ||||||
Biography is short but adequately covers all of Bev's storylines. The background information only mentions her 2015 return. No other sections started. | |||||||
Aidan Connor | Work needed (6/5/21) | ||||||
Biography is a good length, with the backstory and Eva/Maria sections covered in depth. The last section picking up from the factory closure requires expansion though - for eexample, it doesn't mention his efforts to re-open the factory, his good deeds ahead of his suicide, his planned suicide being put off by Carla's operation, or his falling out with Johnny. Earlier sections would benefit from mentioning how he and Eva got together given how important that relationship became. The Eva/Maria section itself, though detailed, is a straight storyline recap rather than telling events from Aidan's perspective, as we prefer on character pages, but this is a lower priority. No other sections started besides the BGI, which is just a couple of bullet points. | |||||||
Terry Duckworth | Work needed (25/7/21) | ||||||
This article has been turned around in the last year thanks to additions to the biography by Chocolatecake and the background info by NathanJohnson. These sections now pass, though the latter does still have room for expansion if we can find some good quotes to support the prose. | |||||||
Pat Phelan | Major work neeed (26/9/20) | ||||||
A biography that's in many parts an episode-by-episode synopsis and yet often missing crucial details makes this a frustrating page to read. For example, it says Phelan and Vinny formed a scam together, but doesn't say what it is. 2016 on the whole isn't as detailed as the other years. Eight paragraphs for Phelan's downfall and demise is ridiculous - it should be half that. The background information is a good length but apart from the quote from Kate Oates it's just recapping the storylines Phelan was involved with, and not telling us anything insightful. Unfortunately, the problems are endemic throughout the page and it may be quicker to start from scratch. | |||||||
Judy Mallett | Majo work needed (31/10/21) | ||||||
At present the biography is basically the intro again with some words changed. One for the clean slate pile. | |||||||
Angie Freeman | Major work needed (17/8/21) | ||||||
Move along, nothing to see here! | |||||||
John Stape | Work needed (21/11/20) | ||||||
Credit where it's due - the biography is comprehensive, the style and formatting is correct, and there is a sizable relationships section. This only misses the mark because it has no personality section or appendices and the background information is a bulleted list. | |||||||
Frankie Baldwin | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
The biography is another short one that doesn't properly introduce Frankie or provide a backstory, but apart from its wobbly introduction it does admittedly cover all the essentials. BGI mentions Romanian Holiday and nothing more. | |||||||
Liam Connor | Work needed (8/5/21) | ||||||
Level of detail in the biography is exactly right. One small addition would be an introductory paragraph mentioning Liam growing up with his siblings and Carla as we've learned quite a bit over the years. The background information could do with expansion covering Liam's introduction and anything else prior to his exit. No other sections started. | |||||||
Vikram Desai | Major work needed (21/7/21) | ||||||
As the crosses show, this is just an intro. | |||||||
Cilla Battersby-Brown |
Major work needed (26/2/21) | ||||||
Some pivotal gaps aside - Cilla's backstory, the Rita compensation storyline, Out of Africa - the biography is complete. The hot tub storyline shouldn't be in there though. Background information is slight but better than nothing. | |||||||
Geena Gregory | Major work needed (26/8/21) | ||||||
A cliff notes version of the biography, and nothing else on the page. | |||||||
Linda Baldwin | Major work needed (22/1/21) | ||||||
I almost didn't pass the biography due to its short length, but Linda's main storylines are covered so decided to be generous. But it's passing by a hair and could do with more detail, especially with regards to the affair with Mark - how did it get started? Who initiated it? Who did Linda really love? A good biography should answer those questions. No other sections started. | |||||||

Steph Britton | Major work needed (28/3/21) | ||||||
Biography passes, everything's there with my only suggestion being the cursory introductory paragraph laying out Steph's DOB and what we know of her life before Coronation Street. The background information has the core details but as this is a modern day character we should be able to put some meat on those bones. No other sections started. | |||||||
Rob Donovan | Work needed (25/7/21) | ||||||
Three missed sections - personality, relationships and appendices. The rest get a pass though the biography is still a little bloated for my liking, particularly the parts concerning Rob's returns. We don't need a run-through of each scene he was in. | |||||||
Marcus Dent | Major work needed (21/7/21) | ||||||
Biography is a little thin on detail but everything that needs to be present is there. Now we just need another half of the article to go with it. | |||||||
Florrie Lindley | Work needed (7/10/21) | ||||||
One of the oldest articles on the site, written at a time when the objective was get the raw facts down as quickly as possible and move on to the next character. Nothing's left out, but Norman's return isn't given the weight it's due, and no mention is made of the difficulties she faced running the shop by herself. Overall, it's just not written with the familiarity that a good biography needs to be. BGI is too short as well - a lack of resources in 2008 means that there's no inside info or quotes on either Betty Alberge's casting or axing, when we have a wealth of both nowadays. | |||||||
Harry Hewitt | Work needed (1/9/21) | ||||||
One of the earliest articles on the site, and still a very good one. A character of Harry's duration should really have a Relationships section though - there's certainly more Lucille stuff that's not mentioned, such as her going off to London, getting a tattoo, Brett Falcon, etc. Appendices are missing too. | |||||||
Angela Harris | Major work needed (31/8/21) | ||||||
Biography is a dog's dinner. Nothing else started. | |||||||
Karl Munro | Work needed (7/12/21) | ||||||
Some key omissions hold the biography back from Good status - Karl's gambling storyline isn't covered in depth, nor Stella kicking him out. His motives for starting the fire are brushed over and the fact that he was attempting to frame Jason. If they're important enough to be mentioned in the intro, they should definitely be in the biography. Bio is a little choppily written too. Otherwise, the BGI is short but covers the main beats, and the appendices are complete. Good selection of images as well. All in all, it needs work but is still one of the better ones. | |||||||
Martha Longhurst | Good (10/10/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Craig Harris | Work needed (31/8/21) | ||||||
Biography passes, background has only one sentence about the actor with no info about casting/introduction/departure, so gets an incomplete tag. | |||||||
Luke Britton | Major work needed (27/3/21) | ||||||
Biography OK with the only major omission being Luke's part in the revenge porn storyline, and his death is missing a lot of key information including how Luke got onto Andy's trail, what he found out and what exactly occurred in his showdown with Phelan. Plenty more to mention in the unwritten sections - his near miss with Carla, definitely. No BGI at all. | |||||||
Seb Franklin | Major work needed (17/8/21) | ||||||
There is a biography here, but I'd be surprised if any of it is salvagable. Timeline gaps, dangling plot threads, vague sentences ("After being sacked by Phelan..." (no explanation for the sacking given), "Abi was later found unconscious in her home" (again, no explanation). Come on, we can do better than this. Appendices are complete for 2018 onwards. | |||||||

Tony Gordon | Major work needed (25/8/21) | ||||||
Awful. An inflated word count, repetition, poor sentence structure and syntax, and run-on sentences plague this article. As the cleanup tags say, deleting and starting with a clean slate is the way to go here. It would take just as long to fix this mess. | |||||||
Katy Harris | Major work needed (1/9/21) | ||||||
Biography isn't much longer than the intro. Delete and start from scratch is the order of the day here. | |||||||
Frank Barlow | Work needed (30/1/21) | ||||||
An article that reads like it was written by someone with little to no first-hand experience of the character. I have passed the biography regardless as it contains all the raw facts, at least the ones that relate to Frank's on-screen history; there is more in the history books that expand on his backstory. The background information only refers to Frank's axings and returns, when there is plenty to say about his creation and casting with Frank being an original character so this section does not pass. | |||||||

Alan Howard | Good (11/9/21) | ||||||
Completed page. | |||||||
Ida Clough | Work needed (25/4/21) | ||||||
As a long-running supporting character, Ida's article is ripe for expansion in the supplementary sections. Her biography should really be the shortest section on the page as she filled the same role throughout her time in the street and had no major storylines based around her except possibly her exit in 1988. | |||||||

Amber Kalirai | Work needed (25/9/21) | ||||||
Biography needs more info firstly on how Amber came into Dev's life and secondly on her university career, with Amber getting kicked out - currently it says she returned to the street after some time away which is technically true but a little misleading. It's a short article for an unjustly underused character. | |||||||
Rana Habeeb | Major work needed (30/8/21) | ||||||
I think I've reached breaking point with these articles that need going over with a fine toothcomb and where every single sentence has grammatical errors. It's a waste of my time making these fixes, and anyone reading would give up long before the end anyway. Major cleanup tags will have to do for now, on every section. It's honestly difficult to ascertain what's missing, because the way it's written, the text vaguely alludes to events but lacks key details - eg. "Rana shared an emotional moment with Kate after she crashed her wedding reception." - What emotional moment? What happened and what were the consequences? If there weren't any, why mention it? "She didn't tell her mum the truth for a while and that led to her moving out." - Who moved out? Of where? Why? Or is just plain contradictory: "[Rana] confessed to Zeedan that she was in love with someone else. Rana got outed by Kate to Zeedan" - So who outed Rana? Was it Kate or did she do so herself? I'm going on a bit but I've had it up to here with these Frankenstein's monsters of a biography. If this is your work, please be a stranger. Personality and Background get major cleanup tags too, the former because it drops plot elements in with no context (the contract, Speed Daal), the latter because the "bury your gays" complaint is given too much credence considering Bhavna Limbachia herself asked to be killed off. Include it, but frame it as a baseless complaint, and name the complainer (it was Russell T Davies - he even has a page here). | |||||||

Tommy Harris | Work needed (1/9/21) | ||||||
Biography just needs some minor fixes - Tommy's backstory and the names of the men were were after the family are omitted, plus some strange sentence ordering - one paragraph leads with Tommy and Angela splitting then mentions Katy and Martin's affair, even though the latter caused the former. This is a biography on a Wiki, not Memento! Also needs to mention Tommy getting his job back after losing it in 2003. | |||||||

Samantha Failsworth | Major work needed (27/7/21) | ||||||
Taking a hard line with this article, the biography omits the following: Sam's spat with Judy Mallett, her battle with Anne Malone, her entire relationship with Sean Skinner, Des catching Sam and Chris in bed, and Sam playing practical jokes on Natalie and snatching her cat. Sam's attitude to sex should be emphasized more as well. These character beats are essential to a good biography of Samantha, which is why I've stuck a major cleanup tag on there. | |||||||
Alan Bradley | Work needed (26/3/21) | ||||||
Very nearly makes it - all written sections are fine, appendices are missing as is relationships. Even though his storylines are covered in the biography, the throughline of his relationship with Jenny is worth its own section and there are a few things not mentioned elsewhere such as Jenny's prison visit and the way he used her to get to Rita. | |||||||

Geoff Metcalfe | Work needed (3/12/21) | ||||||
Biography is off to a good start but trails off after Geoff's pretend health scare. We jump straight to the stabbing so we're missing the wedding, Geoff serving up Charlotte Bronte, Yasmeen being locked in the magic box, Geoff's involvement with Speed Daal and him trying to convince Yasmeen about her drinking problem. BGI doesn't cover Geoff's death or mention his "return" appearances, and appendices are missing everything prior to 2018 (what we know, anyway - we know that he was a lorry driver and lived in Wales for a time so that's at least one addition to each table). | |||||||
Darryl Morton | Work needed (5/12/21) | ||||||
BGI is in good shape, and only needs a source for the Digital Spy quote. Address list complete. Biography covers Darryl's entire duration but is written rather choppily with two paragraphs consisting of only one sentence, and doesn't mention Dev buying the takeaway and house and Darryl living with Teresa in the shop flat. | |||||||
Richard Hillman | Work needed (8/9/21) | ||||||
Passed the biography and personality, though background is a little lacking considering what a big deal this story was. | |||||||
Joanne Jackson | Work needed (12/9/21) | ||||||
Biography is very thin but the important beats are at least mentioned so it gets a pass. Joanne's relationship with Adam in particular could do with some meat on those bones. Nothing else started. | |||||||
Andy Carver | Work needed (12/4/21) | ||||||
Biography is another bloated one, particularly with regards with Andy's final year which has eight paragraphs devoted to it which are form almost an episode-by-episode synopsis (and some parts even minute-by-minute). The introduction is also problematic as it dives straight into the Gavin Rodwell storyline with no scene-setting or context for the deception. Hobbies and background are good though and get a pass. | |||||||
Ali Neeson | Major work needed (14/1/22) | ||||||
Biography amply covers Ali's birth and the baby swap storyline. Only the introduction of his 2018 is included though. Appendices are only for 2018 onwards, and background info is nuts and bolts only with no creation or casting inside information and nothing at all on his 2020 exit. | |||||||

Paul Kershaw | Major work needed (26/9/21) | ||||||
Two things wrong with the biography - one is that 2012 is covered by a single sentence, the other is that it's told from the perspective of a viewer, perserving Paul's secret until the point where it was revealed within the show. As a biography telling the story of Paul's life, this is the wrong to write it and Lesley needs introducing earlier. Appendices are complete, background covers Paul's introduction and exit well enough except for the mention of a rumour that Paul would be killed off in an explosive storyline - this must be sourced as rumours can be confused with speculation. | |||||||
Susan Barlow | Work needed (23/2/21) | ||||||
The entire biography could do with fleshing out but Mike and Susan's marriage - literally everything between the wedding day and Susan's exit storyline - is the only part omitted entirely. The background information does its job and just needs an image montage of the four Susans. Relationships is just a sentence I moved from the lead that made more sense there. | |||||||
Joe McIntyre | Major work needed (21/11/21) | ||||||
In-universe content has only a few omissions - backstory and mention of his first wife Anna, his arrival in the street and meeting David and Gail for the first time, Joe being evicted from his flat, moving into No.8, blackmailed by Len Windass, working at the hardware shop. Whether these go in the biography or another section is up to the author. The biography is a hodgepodge which reads like it's written by half a dozen people, with the final section, on Joe's death, being another scene-by-scene description that doesn't belong in a biography - the odd crucial scene, maybe, but not entire episodes. BGI has a cleanup tag as it needs sources, especially the quote from "doctors" and the bit about Reece Dinsdale's typecast fears. | |||||||

Jerry Morton | Work needed (6/12/21) | ||||||
A "bare minimum" biography; more minor storylines can either go here or in the personality section. There's room for more on his relationship with Eileen, and him breaking it off due to Jodie leaving and Jerry finding out about Kayleigh going clubbing. BGI passes as well; again, it's short, but short-term characters like Jerry don't tend to attract much comment. | |||||||

Sharif Nazir | Work needed (10/1/22) | ||||||
Biography just needs an update regarding the financial mess Sharif left the gym in. Apart from that, little is missing from the article and it's all minor stuff - the allotment, getting Gary into the business, Kal putting shop bought eggs in the chicken coop. A couple of short relationship sections could cover these. Background passes too leaving just the personality and appendices. | |||||||
Sheila Crossley | Work needed (19/7/21) | ||||||
One of my earliest efforts and one I'm really not happy with now. At the time I was powering through the early characters, including the ones I hadn't seen much of and I think that's clear from this article. It doesn't add anything to the bare-bones plot synopses we started out with, and as such misses key details such as how Sheila's relationship with Neil Crossley changed her, and her dissatisfaction with Jerry, things that you don't pick up on when you simply regurgitate the events chronologically. There's mileage for a relationships section too and a background that expands on the suicide storyline using quotes from The Corrie Years - it was the show's biggest moment that year and deserves a deep dive. Her June 1969 appearance needs a mention somewhere as well - in an Elsie section? | |||||||
Sylvia Goodwin | Work needed (24/8/21) | ||||||
A solid effort with a completed BGI and appendices, and a biography just missing the resolution to the RP mystery and Sylvia giving birth to Richard. There's plenty of information to glean from Nina's introduction in 2019. Other sections yet to start. | |||||||

Erica Holroyd | Major work needed (9/9/21) | ||||||
Biography needs redrafted to take out anything that doesn't contribute to the main story. Currently it's a jumble of storylines with no structure, the biggest culprit being a sentence about Erica comforting Liz over Tony Stewart's affair being in the middle of paragraph about her and Nick. Remember, it has to work as a piece of prose in of itself. I can't see anything that is missing, though. BGI has a single sentence and nothing else on the page. Main image isn't well cropped, the head should be at the centre of the frame. | |||||||
Shirley Armitage | Work needed (18/1/21) | ||||||
Another article that was satisfactory earlier in Corriepedia's lifetime but falls short now that we require all main characters to have personality and relationships sections, plus appendices. Other than that, it's in good nick. | |||||||
Jenna Kamara | Work needed (25/9/21) | ||||||
Biography makes no mention of the trouble Jenna got in for kissing Sophie, which cost her her career. Her relationship with Sophie is brushed over in general compared with earlier parts. | |||||||
Tina Fowler | Good (14/8/21) | ||||||
No relationship section needed and no known addresses, so this is complete. | |||||||
Andrea Beckett | Major work needed (27/2/21) | ||||||
Effectively a whole new article needed as the biography describes Andrea's first dozen or so episodes and thus focuses on her relationship with Steve which didn't end up being that important. BGI is a sentence about her casting, which needs expansion. Hobbies and interests is little more than a placeholder. | |||||||
Danny Hargreaves | Major work needed (30/8/21) | ||||||
Biography has been abandoned after Danny's first date with Sharon, so the majority is still to be written. Nothing else started. | |||||||
Cheryl Gray | Work needed (25/8/21) | ||||||
Biography could use a polish to make sentences flow into each other, but everything's there. Background is short but again covers the essentials. | |||||||
Doreen Lostock | Work needed (10/10/21) | ||||||
Missing sections as indicated. Background info could be better, it doesn't say anything about Doreen's departure, for instance. | |||||||
Kal Nazir | Major work needed (10/1/22) | ||||||
We have the five-paragraph sekelton of a full biography, which would meet the minimum standard if it wasn't missing Kal's backstory, any mention of his late wife Jamila or Zeedan. BGI covers Kal's arrival and exit which is adequate given how short a time he was around. No other sections started. | |||||||

The biography contains a few stories that are out of place there - the mentions of her between 2011 and 2018, Lewis's return and death - these belong in an Audrey relationship section. That being said, the storylines in which Claudia had a central role are appropriately detailed so once those other parts are removed, this section will be in really good shape - updated to include Claudia's final year. Background is short but has the necessaries. Address list needed. | |||||||

Frank Foster | Work needed (14/8/21) | ||||||
This one's nearly done - a relationships section isn't needed, so just a full-length BGI and employment history left. There is certainly more to say about the rape storyline and the whodunit, if you look at Carla's page - at least, the heavy promotion, who were the official murder suspects, the post-watershed week. The Coronation Street in 2012 page has a section on the storyline and that's deliberately a surface-level overview of the entire year. | |||||||

Another biography that passes by a hair. Four fairly short paragraphs is appropriate for a guest character with a couple of appearances, not a regular... and yet the key details are there.

Personality and appendices will complete this article. No relationships section necessary. | |||||||
Audrey Fleming | Work needed (11/8/21) | ||||||
Biography is fine, BGI also satisfactory but with room for expansion (who ordered the Flemings to be axed? What storylines were envisioned and fell through? Questions are invited but not answered). Other events that could be slotted in include: having Albert as a houseguest, unfounded gossip about her and Gordon, racking up £200 on HP, tackling Eddie Goulden, changes of employment (Ray's yard to Len's yard), her showdown with Sandra and slinking off at Lucille's party. | |||||||
Harry Flagg | Major work needed (11/8/21) | ||||||
Pull what you can from this short biography. Another forgotten character no one's in a hurry to write about. | |||||||
Norma Ford | Work needed (11/8/21) | ||||||
This one dips just below the threshold for its biography to get a passing grade. Most of it is fine, but there are a handful of storylines that need going through in more detail - her introductory scenes for one; why did Ellen Page need seeing off? And how did Jacko track her down? Ritchie Levitt is not mentioned, nor is her lie to Maggie that Jacko was in a miners home and this nearly causing her to leave the shop. There's enough on the cutting room floor for a Maggie relationship too, such as her writing the ad in a newspaper personal column. Her 1974 appearance is very tacked on too with no details of her wedding date. BGI should also mention her disappearance without an exit, and sources for what's there now. | |||||||
Penny King | Major work needed (26/9/21) | ||||||
Biography is just the intro again, and half it isn't really relevant, namely the Jamie and County stuff. Penny debuted while Preston was still alive - this isn't mentioned - and the attempted scam by Ciaran and Tracy is also omitted. So to summarize: delete and start again. Main image isn't great with Penny's face half covered in the shadow but this may be the best we can do until ITV3 reaches her era. | |||||||

Callum's life is satisfactorily covered in the biography, background info has his introduction and live episode death. The latter in particular could be expanded if more is known (anything we have on Sean Ward's casting, for example), but they pass for now. | |||||||
Steve Fisher | Work needed (11/8/21) | ||||||
Biography is complete - just the other sections to write. | |||||||
Paul Clayton | Work needed (25/4/21) | ||||||
A comprehensive biography that has the right amount of detail. No other sections started, but I've added a relationships heading in case anyone wants to remove certain story beats from the biography and place them here. Paul was woven into the Duckworths family for a year so there may be one or two things more to put there. | |||||||
Chris Gray | Work needed (25/8/21) | ||||||
Had to fail the biography on account of Chris and Maria's breakup being missing, but otherwise it's complete, if choppy. I'll go out on a limb and say the background info is complete as well, given that Chris's arrival and departure are covered and he didn't feature in any major storylines. | |||||||
Dan Mason | Work needed (5/11/21) | ||||||
Poor grammar throughout biography. Cleanup required for BGI as it lacks sources. The part about Matthew Crompton's contract being extended for a year needs an explanation given that he left six months later. | |||||||
Jamie Armstrong | Work needed (27/10/21) | ||||||
Rorylufcan: Great work! The Relationship and Background sections are now marked complete (sans images). Relationships will probably have more added once the rest of the page is written, but it is fine in its current form. I'm impressed that you were able to fill the section with moments that were so minor as it shows a deep knowledge of the character. My only piece of advice is that the Tricia sub-section concentrates almost entirely on Jamie and his mother's closeness, when he had his share of naughty moments as well so there is potential for a second paragraph to add those. Background Information is looking good as well, showing that you did your research. | |||||||
Linda Cheveski | Work needed (22/4/21) | ||||||
Both the bigraphy and background information need fleshing out, which is par for the course with these older articles, despite them containing the bare essentials. | |||||||
Gordon Clegg | Work needed (25/4/21) | ||||||
A few things still to do - appendices, personality, relationships (for Maggie, Betty and Lucille, certainly). Some of his later stints are unmentioned, including him crossing paths with Lucille again in 1974, revealing his true parentage in the Rovers in 1975, his 1982 return, and his dealings with Gail and Tricia in 1976. BGI has room for expanion - see the same section on Maggie's page for additional info on the introduction of the Cleggs. And finally, a new main image to replace the publicity pic. | |||||||
Mark Casey | Good (12/4/21) | ||||||
Complete - no relationships section but the biography and personality have this character sewn up. No address list either but none were ever given for Mark. | |||||||

Ray Crosby | Work needed (18/7/21) | ||||||
The biography is pitch-perfect up to the point it where runs out of story, a year before he left the programme. Appendices are done, in light of the fact that we were never told where he lived. No other sections started. | |||||||
Teresa Bryant | Work needed (7/4/21) | ||||||
Biography falls into the trap of being a procession of "then this happened..." but it's comprehensive which will prove useful when the time comes to split off the other content sections. Main image is fine but it's the only one on the page. |
Former cast: Low priority

Paul Connor | Work needed (16/7/21) | ||||||
Biography includes the main beats but everything it mentions requires expansion - for example, "Paul helped to cover up the death of Polish factory worker Kasia Barowicz" - compare this with the eight lines on the storyline in Carla's article, and it's barely a footnote in her character's history. Background is in a similar half-written state and nothing else is done. | |||||||

Josie Clarke | Major work needed (22/4/21) | ||||||
Covers Josie's entry storyline, but that's it. Author can feel free to remove Relationships heading if there isn't enough for a section. | |||||||
Anne Malone | Work needed (2/11/21) | ||||||
Totally missing from the biography are Anne's introduction, harassment by Leo Firman, anything to do with her parents, and her relationship with Andy (at the moment it just says they went out together), but everything apart from her attempt to set up Samantha could be expanded. No other sections written. | |||||||
Nathan Cooper | Major work needed (17/7/21) | ||||||

Tony Horrocks | Work needed (11/9/21) | ||||||
A character always on the periphery, as such the biography passes, and no relationships section is required. BGI, personality and appendices still to go. | |||||||
Lucy Barlow | Major work needed (14/2/21) | ||||||
Biography barely scratches the surface of what was one of the major storylines of 2003. | |||||||
Angie Appleton | Work needed (16/1/21) | ||||||
Article is a personality and full background section away from Good status, but for a character who made only 94 appearances, it is bloated beyond belief and could do with condensing. If we were to make the biography more personal to Angie, there are parts that could naturally be removed - for example, Angie wasn't even present for Jude's final appearances in 2019 so there shouldn't be more than a couple of sentences devoted to it. The biography is full of things like that as it strives to be all-encompassing. Relationships shows a complete misunderstanding of what that section is too and merely regurgitates the biography. It's a problematic page but we have bigger fish to fry so it'll do for now. | |||||||
Gwen Davies | Major work needed (20/7/21) | ||||||
Biography contains some background material on Gwen's marriage. Most of her actual time in the programme including everything related to her debt storyline is missing. Nothing else on the page. | |||||||
Jude Appleton | Major work needed (16/1/21) | ||||||
Biography is an exhaustive recap of Jude's first appearance in 2016. This will have to go in a full write-up, or at least be significantly trimmed - perhaps moved to a Mary relationship section. Otherwise, there's nothing on the page. | |||||||
Paula Martin | Major work needed (3/11/21) | ||||||
We have half a biography, running up to Sally's 'guilty' verdict - finish, then redraft to make the prose flow better, removing the irrelevant passages. The paragraph on Cormac has nothing to do with the surrounding sentences, or at least requires context to make it fit. Background info starts things off with Stirling Gallacher's casting but again goes no further than her first year. | |||||||
Alan McKenna | Major work needed (21/11/21) | ||||||
Another blank page. | |||||||
Harry Mason | Work needed (5/11/21) | ||||||
Biography is a decent enough rundown of Harry's plotline with Liz. Can we substantiate his three marriages though within the show itself? BGi needs to mention Harry's exit. | |||||||
Mandy Kamara | Work needed (25/9/21) | ||||||
Biography needs a proper intro and currently makes no reference to Mandy working at the Rovers or her and Lloyd resuming their relationship. Background is minimal but covers the essentials, albeit unsourced (Tweets should be possible to verify). | |||||||
Molly Hardcastle | Major work needed (30/8/21) | ||||||

Ivan Cheveski | Work needed (22/4/21) | ||||||
Biography is satisfactory, background information is better, but both would benefit from expansion. Ivan's returns in particular are lacking detail and, in the BGI, Ivan's creation and casting. New main image needed as we only have a publicity photo at present. | |||||||
Doreen Heavey | Major work needed (1/9/21) | ||||||
The biography was originally the intro - it's too long for the latter, but too short for the former. Nothing else on the page. | |||||||
Lisa Duckworth | Work needed (25/7/21) | ||||||
Apart from the missing sections, the biography leaves a few things out - Terry bringing Lisa home to meet Jack and Vera, Terry sending his thugs after Des, Lisa returning to her parents in Nov 92. The timeline is a little muddled as well as a result of events being compressed as Lisa didn't go straight from the Duckworths' to Des's as the article implies. | |||||||

Debs Brownlow | Major work needed (6/4/21) | ||||||

Biography looks good. Personality, background and appendices will complete this page. | |||||||
Kayleigh Morton | Work neeed (6/12/21) | ||||||
Of all the Morton children, Kayleigh's bio has been the most complete. For personality, the author will have to scrape together what they can from Kayleigh's limited appearances. I would advise working on all the Morton articles simultaneously as they're all in a similar condition - might attempt it myself actually. | |||||||

Aidan Critchley | Work needed (17/7/21) | ||||||
A pass for the biography puts the article for this short-term character close to completion. There's potentially another paragraph or two from the 2002 part of his story, expanding on his early months and development of his relationship with Sarah, and more clearly linking the car crash with Ken hitting Aidan. Other sections not yet started but could be done in a day. | |||||||
Tom Kerrigan | Work needed (25/9/21) | ||||||
Background passes; despite its brevity, I'd be surprised if there's more to dig up on Tom. Biography is short as well, too short even for a background character like this, particularly in the intro where visits to the street are mentioned but not what he did when he got there. It's a level of detail we don't use for longer-term characters, but helps beef up the articles for the ones who weren't around for long. | |||||||
Billy Mallett | N/A | Work needed (31/10/21) | |||||

Biography is comprehensive and flows well, though the first paragraph could be a bit tidier with a proper introduction added. The remainder of the article is yet to be written, not that there will be much to say about this fairly minor character. | |||||||
Jackie Dobbs | Work needed (22/7/21) | ||||||
The essential update making Jackie not Tyrone's mother out of the way, this article is looking pretty good now. Relationships (one for Deirdre, one for Tyrone?) still to go, plus appendices, and personality is a bit on the short side as well, concentrating solely on Jackie's gobbiness. Background information passes but could we expand her creation, casting and 1999 sacking? There is room for expansion of the biography too - we were given a lot of information on her marriage to Darren in 2018 which is on his page but not Jackie's. | |||||||
Esther Hayes | Work needed (1/9/21) | ||||||
This is nearly done. Written sections are good so we're only missing personality, relationships and employment history. | |||||||
Trevor Dean | Work needed (20/7/21) | ||||||

Biography needs a paragraph on Julie being Jesse's assistant and the friction it caused with Eileen, considering that Julie played a key part in his exit from the show. Apart from that, it's ready to go. The background information says that John Thomson and producers agreed that there was nowhere to take the character - this needs to be expanded and sourced. Also could do with an image of Jesse in his General Custard guise. | |||||||

Tara Mandal | Work needed (2/11/21) | ||||||
I'll mark the biography and background info as complete for now. The latter is short, but Tara wasn't in the show for long so there may be nothing more to add.

Doreen Fenwick | Work needed (10/8/21) | ||||||
Doreen's time in the street is well covered, but I would like more info on her history with Rita as a preamble to that section. Biography doesn't flow well with it jumping between different storylines but it does enough to get a pass. | |||||||
Becky Palmer | Work needed (27/10/21) | ||||||

Sandra Butler | Work needed (10/4/21) | ||||||
A biography that's short but covers the essentials which are Sandra's background, arrival in Weatherfield, the storyline with Ray and her exit. The personality section can be a useful grab-bag of other more minor Sandra storylines once it's written. BGI is short too, but sometimes there just isn't anything to say. | |||||||

Diggory Compton | Major work needed (6/5/21) | ||||||

Ida Barlow | Work needed (30/1/21) | ||||||
Ida's short tenure makes this a biography that's technically comprehensive without having much to say. The background information should be longer though going into Ida's creation and casting, the reason she died off-screen, and Noel Dyson gifting Dear Quatermass to the cast. Like the other originals, she has a significance that goes beyond her limited screentime and her article should reflect that. | |||||||

Bernard Butler | Work needed (10/4/21) | ||||||
Appropriately short - the few things that aren't mentioned in the biography (such as his bet with Ray that saw Bernard dress as a nurse) can go in the personality section, so the bio gets a pass. Similarly, the BGI is only two lines long which is normal for short-term characters of this vintage. I'm not saying more can't be added, but these sections do work as they are. | |||||||
