{{Characters need descriptions}}
The character sheet for ''[[Coronation Street]]''. Be warned though, as a [[Long Runner]], the cast is [[Loads and Loads of Characters|voluminous]]. Only current characters have full character sheets since doing one for the hundreds that have existed in the shows history would probably be a life long project. Characters not currently appearing on the show have their own section with brief descriptions at the bottom of the page.
