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.

It was two episodes in 1982. She was 6. SURELY no other actor/actress can lay claim to being in Coro three times as three different characters!

What a mystery, I don't remember this character either.

Considering Alison King was born in 1973, I very much doubt that she was a 9 year old shop steward!

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

Erm...yes.

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

I've posted Corrie.net's blurb in a previous post, although I personally do not remember the character.

Perhaps she is a shop steward. They started them young in the North then.....

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.

She is probably the woman with the most multiple parts then....

Too much smoking and fake tan, by the look of it.

He played window cleaner called "I Spy" Dwyer, because he liked looking through people's windows while doing his job; a vacuum cleaner salesman; a tourist guide as well as many others, Barraclough played mostly in the 1960s. Mostly one episode wonder characters.

When I saw that the charcater's surname was Webster, I obviously thought that she was related to Kevin Webster or something...

And I always thought London was in the South.

Well, there's obviously a mistake somewhere. Sounds more like she was born in 1963 rather than 73.

She may well be telling a few little whities

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
