Coronation Street unveils official 60th anniversary cast photograph

19/11/2020

Coronation Street unveils official 60th anniversary cast photograph to celebrate the programme reaching this broadcasting milestone. And there has never been a cast image quite like it!

The shot had to be taken adhering to the Government's health and safety guidelines for TV and film production and the covid protocols and measures introduced by the programme which meant all of the actors in the portrait were photographed at different times.

Previous photography to celebrate the show's big milestones has featured all the cast, starting with the famous black and white shot to launch the first episode.

With the pandemic meaning that large gatherings are not possible a decision was taken to represent the show by photographing the first seven of the current cast to join the soap alongside the most recent seven actors to have appeared on screen as a regular cast member.*

Over a period of two weeks the actors were photographed individually in a covid secure studio and then cleverly photoshopped to give the impression of being together.

Finally with a nod to the show's history Hilda Ogden's iconic ducks from her muriel' were added to the image, complete with wonky middle one!

The following actors appear in the photograph:

William Roache (Ken Barlow) - 9 December 1960

Barbara Knox (Rita Tanner) - 2 December 1964

Helen Worth (Gail Platt) - 29 July 1974

Sue Nicholls (Audrey Roberts) - 16 April 1979

Michael Le Vell (Kevin Webster) - 19 October 1983

Sally Ann Matthews (Jenny Connor) - 6 January 1986

Sally Dynevor (Sally Metcalf) - 27 January 1986

Ryan Russell (Michael Bailey) - 12 June 2019

Lorna Laidlaw (Aggie Bailey) - 12 June 2019

Jane Hazelgrove (Bernie Winter) - 24 July 2019

Mollie Gallagher (Nina Lucas) - 11 November 2019

Adam Hussain (Aadi Alahan) - 15 April 2020

Tony Maudsley (George Shuttleworth) -16 September 2020

Gareth Pierce (Todd Grimshaw) - 7 October 2020

*Regular cast member denotes a member of cast who is on screen and on a 12 month contract at the time of the photo
