Quiz: How well do you know your Coronation Street characters?

Cast members are set to return to the cobbles for filming next week.

EVEN THOUGH THE show hasn’t been filmed for quite some time, Coronation Street and some of the other popular British soaps have stayed on the air throughout the crisis. 

They may be fast running out of material to put on our screens, but show runners said on Monday that it will resume filming next week as restrictions ease in the UK. 

With that in mind, how well do you know your Coronation Street characters?

    @Sean O’Dhubhghaill: From the still image the keeper caught him with his trailing left arm after punching the ball clear with his right. Could have been a head or neck injury nothing been confirmed other than he’s now stable in hospital.
