There have been over 5,000 different actors on the show over the years, but one actor William Roache has made the Guinness Book of World Records for how long he has played Ken Barlow. He’s been on the show since it began in 1960, and is now in his 80s (and onto his 25th affair on the show!). The next longest lasting actor is Eileen Derbyshire who has played Emily Bishop on the show for almost 50 years.
