Carla - Alison King - in Coro THREE times since 1982!!
Just found out that Alison King has been in Coro not once, but TWICE, before her current role.
She was Mrs.Fanshaw but also she was MILLY WEBSTER as a 6 year old - anybody got anymore info on this. I have googled. Who's relative was she? |

Don't remember Milly Webster!!
I know that the actress also used to go out with Phil Middlemiss, who played Des Barnes. |

What a mystery, I don't remember this character either. Corrie.net says : Quote:

I do wonder if this is a mistake and that there was another actress called Alison King around at that time. |

Peter Dudley who was Bert Tilsley (Ivy's first husband) had FOUR roles before being cast as Bert, taking his total to FIVE. |

Perhaps she is a shop steward. They started them young in the North then..... A virtual pint to the first person who cracks the mystery! |

And I think Roy Barraclough, who played Alec, played about 9 different characters before he became Alex! I remember Peter Dudley playing the jeweller Alf and Renee went to in early 1978 when they got engaged! So that was only a year before he was in as Bert.

When I saw that the charcater's surname was Webster, I obviously thought that she was related to Kevin Webster or something... Last edited by GMH : 04-12-2006 at 21:15. |

Meg Johnson (now Pearl Ladderbanks in Emmerdale) was a 'tipsy woman' who had a cat-fight with Rita in 1972; Brenda Holden, a friend of Dave Smith's in 1975 and Eunice Gee in the early 1980s and late 1990s.

Malcolm Hebdon who plays Noris Cole was previously in as a would-be Spanish boyfriend of Mavis.
Also Bill Tarmy played a different character (I think) before he became Jack Duckworth |
