Coronation Street is a British soap opera, initially produced by
Granada Television. Created by writer Tony Warren, Coronation Street
first broadcast on ITV on 9 December 1960. The following is a list of
characters introduced in the show's twenty-eighth year, by order of
first appearance.Sarah-Louise Platt (née Tilsley; previously
Grimshaw) is a fictional character from the British soap opera
Coronation Street. She was born on screen during the episode broadcast
on 2 February 1987. She was played by Leah King in 1987 and by Lynsay
King from 1987 until 8 October 1999 when King opted to leave to focus
on her education. Tina O'Brien took over the role on 31 October 1999;
she opted to leave in 2007 and made her final on-screen appearance on
30 December 2007. A number of false rumours about O'Brien returning to
the role surfaced during her absence from the serial. In October 2014,
it was announced that O'Brien had reprised the role, she returned to
filming in February 2015 and returned on screen on 30 March 2015.
Sarah's storylines have included a controversial and ground-breaking
underage pregnancy which saw her giving birth to Bethany Platt (Amy &
Emily Walton, Lucy Fallon) and saw Sarah deal with motherhood in her
teens, internet grooming, her friendship with Candice Stowe (Nikki
Sanderson), her relationships with Todd (Bruno Langley) and Jason
Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) as well as her sibling rivalry between her and
her half-brother David Platt (Thomas Ormson, Jack P. Shepherd). Her
exit storyline saw her leave Weatherfield to start a new life with
Bethany in Milan. Her return storyline saw her track down Bethany who
had run away from home and returned to Weatherfield and begin a
relationship with brother David's enemy Callum Logan (Sean Ward).
Sarah was a central character in the shows third live episode which
was aired to commemorate 60 years of ITV.Cecil Newton was the Brewery
boss of Newton & Ridley. He first appeared in 1987 when Alec Gilroy
wanted the tenancy of the Rovers Return Inn, as Bet Lynch had used the
money she borrowed from Alec to buy the tenancy, but fled to Spain as
she could not pay it back. Cecil agreed and also sent Alec out to
Spain to search for Bet when they found out she was working in a bar
there. Bet married Alec and they successfully applied for the tenancy.
Cecil arrived in the pub a year later in 1988 when he suggested to
Alec that the rent for staying in the Rovers should be increased, as
the establishment was making a lot of money - unsurprisingly, Alec
disagreed.
