- TriviaAs of 2024, only one member of the original cast from the debut episode remains: William Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since December 1960. William Roache is the longest-serving actor in the history of television serials. The previous record-holder was Don Hastings, who played Bob Hughes on the American soap opera As the World Turns (1956), from October 1960, bettering Roache's achievement by two months. He lost his record when that series ended in September 2010.
- GoofsThe night before Steve and Karen's wedding after Steve decides to let his mum invite Ken and Deidre, she walks out the front door, straight past the Barlows. Then, after they finish their dialog about Tracy, she comes out of the toilet.

Featured review
The mighty Corrie has fallen.
I grew up watching it in the 70's and 80's when it was a truly wonderful programme.
I have now reached the point where I have decided to watch it no longer, it is truly lamentable.
Ridiculous storylines that seem to go on forever, poor acting from younger cast members, ham fisted attempts at humour, there's just nothing to recommend it now.
If I were Ken, Roy, Audrey or Brian, I'd be getting out pronto.
