30 Coronation Street Actors, Who Have Tragically Passed Away

30 Coronation Street Actors We’ve Lost Over the Years Coronation Street, often known simply as Corrie, is a beloved British soap opera that has graced television screens since December 9, 1960. Created by Tony Warren and produced by Granada Television, the show is set in Weatherfield, a fictional town inspired by Salford, England. What started as a twice-weekly series expanded over the decades, with Coronation Street airing six times a week since 2017. Interestingly, Warren’s pitch was initially turned down by Granada’s founder, Sidney Bernstein. However, producer Harry Elton believed in the idea, leading to the production of 13 pilot episodes — and the rest is history. Today, Coronation Street is more than just a show; it’s a cultural institution. Over the years, we’ve had to say goodbye to many talented actors who brought its iconic characters to life. Let’s take a moment to remember them. #coronationstreet
