15 Things Fans Were Never Supposed to Know About ‘Coronation Street’

5. Seven different actors have played Peter Barlow

It’s common enough for an actor to be replaced while keeping the character unchanged, but longtimer Peter Barlow has been played by seven different people throughout the years. The character and his twin sister were actually born on “the street” back in 1965, and grew up on the small screen. John Heannau played him from 1965 to 1970, Christopher Dormer from 1970 to 1971, Mark Duncan in 1971, Linus Roache from 1973 to 1975, Joseph McKenna from 1977 to 1978), David Lonsdale in 1986, and Chris Gascoyne from 2000 to now.
