She said a Corrie regular is going to die for the 6000th episode but she couldnt say who , only that they have been in it more or less since the beginning.

If its Betty Turpin Im starting a petition.

Bettys seriously underused anyways, all she does is cook the hotpot and stand in the background and she goes for weeks without being seen.

It will Ray Langton. He first appeared in 1966.


Corrie's Tracy is upset enough when she and daughter Amy are almost run over - but then finds out that the driver is her long-lost dad.

Ray Langton returns to the Street after 27 years away expecting a tearful reunion, the Daily Star reports. It all goes horribly wrong, however, because he is so busy wallowing in nostalgia that he almost runs over the daughter he abandoned all those years ago. But as Tracy was aged only one when Ray, played by Neville Buswell, walked out on wife Deirdre he has no idea who she is.

His daughter, played by Kate Ford, has no clue who the driver is either - she is more concerned with ranting at him for dangerous driving. It is only when Deirdre, played by Anne Kirkbride, arrives at the hospital where Ray has taken Tracy and Amy that the explosive secret is out. She freezes when she recognises her dastardly ex-husband, leaving Tracy to ask: "What? Do you know this idiot?" "Oh yes, Tracy love. I know him," Deirdre replied.

In the fury that follows, Ray keeps quiet the real reason for his return - that he is dying of an incurable disease. But that doesn't stop the effects of his return, which include the cancellation of Deirdre's wedding to Ken Barlow, played by Bill Roache.

Well I wouldn't listen to anything that awful woman says.

It can't be Ray Langton because he's not a regular.

The only person that has been there from the beginning is Ken, so it must be him! Of course Emily Bishop joined a few months in, so maybe its her, but then again SoapBubbles just said that someone else said the person was male, which again leads back to Ken Barlow!

If it's Ray Langton who I don't even know and they pass him off as some big regular that will make the show laughable.

Yeah I have been thinking its Ray until thie soap woman hyped it up, if it is Ray I wil be annoyed, not that i want any long term character to go, I really dont. But its like a con really with all the hype, who gives a toss about Ray Langton, we have not seen him in 20 odd years and I am only old enough to remember him going so half the viewers probably dont even remember him at all.

unless Betty is a man, you've no worries!

the character is male, and has been in corrie virtually since the beginning!

who else has been in the show for a long time?
Jack
Ken
Mike?

Ray Langton (isn't a corrie regular - unless I've missed more than a few episodes)

If it is Ray Langton I will be disappointed.

I don't remember the guy and nor will alot of Corrie fans so to hype it up like this will cause bitter disappointment.

The thing is that if Betty was going or Emily the papers would of made a big thing about it, Im sure it would be frontpage news, even if a small box but front page. As we have heard NOTHING about it then Im a tad suspicious.

I remember Ray. He was a builder, and the exact same character as Charlie.
