Revision as of 11:23, 26 August 2019
The below is list of all Coronation Street characters who were seen in the show on a regular basis when it began in 1960. Sorted by departure date, with the most recent first. William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, was the only cast member to remain at the time of the show's 50th Anniversary in 2010. In May 2011, Philip Lowrie returned in the role of Dennis Tanner, meaning Ken was not the only original character in the series. Ken became the only original character again when Lowrie left the show in July 2014.
Although Arthur Lowe left the series in 1965, he continued in the role of Leonard Swindley in spin-offs Pardon the Expression and Turn out the Lights.
Of the original cast, William Roache, Alan Rothwell, Philip Lowrie, Ernst Walder and Anne Cunningham are still alive as of 2019.
