I just recently caught an episode of Coronation Street after years of not watching, and one of the original actors is still on it.

How strange must it be to play a single character for 66 years? I realise soaps don't film in the same way as serialised dramas or films, but still. And he's only the most longstanding one; plenty of them have been there for decades, at least as long as I've been alive.

I dunno, I just thought it must be a bit bizarre. If you star in a film, you might spend a couple of years being that character. If you're in a soap, you spend every other day being Ken for 60+ years.
