Talk:List of Coronation Street characters (1960)

Kylie Willingson edit

I've removed this character - the link to a main article for her is dead and there isn't a single Google result for her. Given that the name Kylie was unheard of in the UK prior to "Neighbours" (launched in the UK some 26 years after "Coronation Street") I'm assuming this is someone's idea of a joke.

Plot summary? edit

Your tag says Plot summary too long. But this is a list of characters. There isn't a plot summary. I think the blank sections with links should feature a summary of the relevant article. Valetude (talk) 22:00, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

New entry for Elsie Tanner (19/2/20) edit

(Following my last) Where there is reference to a dedicated article, I think it is helpful to provide a summary of the relevant parts of that article - in the present case, the opening phase (1960). I think describing the later events would be off-topic. I don’t know if you have any comments on this scheme. But it might be worth replicating with the other characters, perhaps editing-down some of the over-long sections to a similar length. Valetude (talk) 19:33, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Last paragraph of David Barlow section edit

Is there any source to confirm this magazine story about the survival of David Barlow existed and, if so, any evidence that it had any official status - it seems unlikely something that would have been agreed by Granada at the time and I am not sure if this is just a hoax, a piece of fan fiction or something else entirely.

I have removed it. Thank you for alerting about this – if this was true it would have referenced much more in the show and in anniversary books and documentaries etc. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:39, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
