Production

The headline makers

Coronation Street ties up a 27-year loose end with the reappearance and death of Ray Langton

Carolyn Reynolds completed her third and final run as executive producer with Episode 6027, leaving Coronation Street in the hands of producer Tony Wood. Wood also moved on at the end of the year (joining Reynolds as executive producer on Hollyoaks), to be replaced by former Emmerdale producer Steve Frost at the beginning of 2006. Reynolds' successor, Kieran Roberts, was appointed at the same time as Frost.

Three members of the Harris family were written out in a dark storyline in which diabetic Katy Harris bludgeoned her father Tommy to death with a wrench and then committed suicide by drinking water mixed with sugar. Angela Harris took the blame for her daughter's crime at first and went to prison for perverting the course of justice when the truth emerged. Only Craig remained, now in the care of his grandfather Keith Appleyard. Wood had decided to axe Craig's family when he joined Coronation Street in 2004. The plan was for Martin Platt to fall for another teenage girl only to find out after they got together that she was under sixteen. Sean Wilson refused to perform the storyline, and after discussions between Wilson and the producers the plot was scrapped and Wilson left the programme by mutual agreement. Martin last appeared in November when he went to live with his girlfriend Robyn in Liverpool.

Ray Langton returned from Holland to rekindle his relationship with Tracy before succumbing to terminal stomach cancer. Discounting a cameo appearance in the 1997 VHS-exclusive spin-off Viva Las Vegas! (the events of which were ignored), Ray hadn't appeared since 1978. Neville Buswell returned to the country and the profession to record his scenes, having given up acting when he left the series. Ray's return coincided with Ken Barlow and Deirdre Rachid getting re-married and he passed away during their wedding reception in April.

The celebrity cameos continued. Film actor Ian McKellen appeared in ten episodes as author and conman Mel Hutchwright while Les Battersby met his idols Status Quo who beat him up as payback for overzealously attacking Francis Rossi at a gig in the 1980s. The band then played at Les and Cilla Brown's wedding for free as compensation.

New faces

Craig Charles begins his ten-year stint as Scouse cabbie Lloyd Mullaney

Aside from Sean Wilson, the main departing cast members were Keith Duffy as Ciaran McCarthy and Nikki Sanderson as Candice Stowe. The actors decided to leave after three and six years with the soap respectively. Warren Baldwin, Patrick Tussel and Sonia Marshall were written out over the course of the year.

The old hardware shop unit at 18 Victoria Street which had lain empty since 2002 became Comptons, owned by Diggory Compton, a pompous baker in the vein of Fred Elliott. Diggory's daughter Molly, played by Vicky Binns, was introduced in September. Meanwhile, Gail Platt and Liz McDonald gained new love interests in reflexologist Phil Nail and drummer Vernon Tomlin respectively, and Underworld and Websters' Auto Centre boosted their ranks with the introductions of "identical twins" (in actuality cousins) Joanne and Jessie Jackson as machinists and Nathan Harding as mechanic.

Five actresses played Amy Barlow over the course of 2005: Rebecca Pike continued to appear as the character following on from the previous year until Episode 6052 on 19th June, and was replaced by Louisa Morris for 15 episodes until September, with twins Rachel and Sarah Corker appearing for two episodes in the same time period. Madison Hampson took over the part on 28th September and remained until March 2006.

The void in Steve McDonald's life following Karen's departure was filled by Lloyd Mullaney and Ronnie Clayton, the former as cabbie and eventual partner at Street Cars and the latter romantically. Ex-Red Dwarf actor Craig Charles made his debut appearance as Lloyd in June, a part which was created especially for him.

A character played by Amanda Tyrell in Episode 6100, credited as "Beggar", was named in dialogue as Becky. In 2006, Katherine Kelly would take over the role, now named Becky Granger.

The last of the new main cast members was Nikki Patel as Dev Alahan's teenage daughter Amber Kalirai. Amber's introduction formed part of Sunita Alahan's exit storyline, in which Sunita left Dev after discovering that he'd fathered children with the women who ran his shops. Shobna Gulati decided to leave Coronation Street after five years and her final scenes aired in February 2006.

Viewing figures

Ratings chart for the year

266 episodes were broadcast in 2005, of which 47 made number one in BARB's weekly charts, the most since 1993. Episode 5966 shown on 21st February was the highest-rated episode of the year with 14.36 million viewers.

Coronation Street's average in 2005 was 11.09 million viewers. For the second consecutive year, ratings were down by a million viewers on the one before although 2005's figure dropped below the previous low in 2002, making 2005 the lowest-rated year up to that point. As the programme was now being broadcast in an era of increasingly affordable digital TV, this trend continued after 2005 with few exceptions.

June's ratings saw a negligible increase over those of June 2004. Every other month was down on the previous year.
