He clearly did well if he is known in the USA.
RIP Tony and thanks for Ena, Minnie, Elsie, Martha, Hilda, Annie, Concepta, Albert, Mr Swindley, Emily, Lucille, Jack,........
I too am still surprised at the number of TV programmes from here in the 'little old UK' which are broadcast and enjoyed in the U.S.....especially those which are more regional in their conception, which would at first sight seem to present difficulties for U.S. viewers in understanding what is sometimes being said by the actors..!
Yes, what a cast of slightly larger than life characters was created by Tony Warren, all of whom were originally based in the tradition of music hall, and were all the better for it.
I believe Marv, for one, has followed 'Corrie' for years and, to this day, maintains a consistent interest......
and the finest woman on television on either side of the Atlantic......Carla Connors!Quote:

I have to admit I only see it on and off, and I can think of at least two tram accidents...but you mean Molly Dobbs, killed when the tram came off the viaduct, and crashed into the corner shop and The Kabin...?
Exactly! Then Kevin had to tell Sally about the baby. We use to binge watch Corrie whenever New York had storms where we had to stay home from work. LOL!Quote:
