Frank's mum Anne is played by Gwen Taylor, fondly remembered from appearing in the classic ITV comedy Duty Free, and more recently as dishonest Peggy Armstrong in Heartbeat. Joining her as Frank's dad Johnny is Paul Clayton - who previously appeared in Corrie as Mal Quillan in 2005. Paul is well known for a number of television roles and, as Mr Bartle, met a nasty end at the hands of the Ood in Doctor Who.

Oh I do so hope that Gwen Taylor signs a longer contract. It's reported she is going to be a nasty piece of work, but with the oft-used character transplant she would make the best landlady of the Rovers since Annie Walker.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Gwen tonight. Thought the father a prize nerd though, who still wears their cardis tied at the top of their shoulders? The last person to do that was Tod's doltish boyfriend when they came for the ill fated tuna lunch with Eileen.
