Coronation Street/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

** While Sunita Alahan was born in 1978, Shobna Gulati was born in 1966.

* [[Dueling Shows]]: With ''[[Eastenders]]''. Although they don't broadcast opposite each other, in the U.K. you're either a fan of one or the other. Or both.

* [[Fake Irish]]: A borderline example with the Connor family. While Michelle, Liam and Paul were presumably reared in England, they were born to Irish parents and seem to have kept close contact with Ireland (the parents returned to Dublin to live). Of the three, only the actor playing Paul has any known Irish ancestry and even his parents were English born.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: From the current cast, [[Craig Charles]] of ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' fame plays Lloyd Mullaney; Keith Duffy from ''Boyzone'' plays Kiaran McCarthy; Alison King (Carla Conner) used to star in ''Dream Team'' on Sky One; Ben Price (Nick Tilsley) used to have roles in ''Footballer's Wives'' and ''[[Casualty]]''; Kym Marsh from ''Hear'Say'' plays Michelle Conner; Alex Bain (Simon Barlow) used to be in adverts for Rice Krispies; and [[Holly Oaks|Chris Fountain]] took over the role of Tommy Duckworth in early 2011.

** Plus, there's the list of people who have made brief guest appearances, which includes Sir Ian McKellen, Peter Kay & ''Prince Charles''.
