Sweet baby cheeses, you just couldn't make it up. Ex-Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson, who played Martin Platt, has launched his own cheese. Yes, dear, cheese. After playing nurse Platt in Corrie for 20 years, Sean says he decided on a career change while waiting for new roles, and is delighted with his efforts so far.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "I wanted to get out there and do something, instead of sitting and waiting for the phone to ring like actors do more and more now. I've always wanted to be involved in food. I've got something like 300 cookbooks at home. So I thought why not make a living out of it? The first batch of cheese will go on sale from next week in selected delicatessens and supermarkets, with Wilson hoping to open his own dairy by September. Wilson is making several varieties of the dairy footstuff under his Saddleworth Cheese brand.

Good luck to him, i would buy some.
There's a joke here about cheese and Sean's acting but i'll keep schtum ;))
So was he axed then from Corrie or did he leave? I didn't even know he was looking for acting work. Has he been in anything since Corrie? I'd have though since he's into cooking then a restaurant would have been a better bet than selling cheese. Mind you, you never know. Good luck to him anyway.
Ah see tha are now a great Lanky cheesemaker pity ah cant get some in London Ah would like to guzzle some gradely cheese made by Sean a real Manc treat
A good story
GK Chesterton: “The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
Voila: www.tastingtoeternity.com. This book is a poetic view of 30 of the best loved French cheeses with an additional two odes to cheese. Recipes, wine pairing, three short stories and an educational section complete the book.
From a hectic life in New York City to the peace and glories of the French countryside lead me to be the co-founder of www.fromages.com. Ten years later with the words of Pierre Androuet hammering on my brain:
“Cheese is the soul of the soil. It is the purest and most romantic link between humans and the earth.”
I took pen and paper; many reams later with the midnight oil burning Tasting to Eternity was born and self published.
I believe cheese and wine lovers should be told about this publication.
Enjoy
