I love a good story of "what might have been" and this picture sums up a great deal of this fascination! There's more waffle about what prompted this on my blog - please feel free to pop in and take a look, leave a comment or ignore it all together. Does anyone else have tales of Corrie castings that fell by the wayside?

The woman wearing the headscarf puts me in mind of Olive from On The Buses.
And of course the woman on the left, Doris Hare, was a star of "On the Buses"!
Eileen Mayers was considered for the part of Linda Cheveski and possibly appeared in the dry run of episode three but the script for that one (with the cast listed) doesn't seem to have survived.
Wasn't Emily Nugent (Miss Nugent) played by a different actres in episode 4? Imagine if she had stayed!
I have seen the first 8 episodes on dvd and yes, Miss Nugent is a non-speaking part for the most er... part and it's not Eileen Derbyshire. She didn't appear until shortly after that, in January of 1961
Doris Hare? Couldn't recognise her at all.
Who's the Boris Karloff stand-in in the middle?
I think that's Nan Marriot-Watson who played Ena. It's difficult placing the other two as Alison Bayley played very few parts and Miss Marriot-Watson doesn't seem to have left much photographic evidence behind. I found on youtube a 1964 BBC adaptation of "A Study in Scarlet" in which she appeared briefly but heavily made up and she didn't look entirely like either of the characters in the photo.
