    Didn't Jake Wood appear early on? I'm sure I've seen the clip of him looking very much like Bradley, spookily enough.

    Wasn't Corrie's Colin Fishwick in it before as the gangster ex-husband of one of Steve McDonald's squeezes? (Ronnie I think her name was - I seem to remember a hit-and-run storyline involving her)
