I've been watching Corrie since 1989 and have seen characters introduced as youngsters. I'm feeling old these days because I've just realized that the characters I saw as teens are now all turning 30! (Not to mention that characters that were in their early 20s when I started watching are close to 50 now! Curly Watts turns 50 this year!)
Tyrone just turned 30 before Christmas and Kirk turned 30 in 2012 too though it wasn't really mentioned. Leanne turned 30 in 2011 (Toyah turned 30 in 2012) and in 2013 Maria and Jason will be 30! I gleaned all these from my new Coronation Street calendar that has the birthdates filled in for many characters.
Well into their 30s, also characters I watched grow up from teenhood are Steve, Tracy, Nick and Fiz. Ashley Peacock would have been in that lot as well and did you know he shares a birthday, both date and year with Tracy Barlow?
Gosh, I feel old.

haha! That made me laugh! Every time I look at Chesney I feel old as I remember him as a little boy! Perhaps this needs a then and now blog with embarrassing pictures ;)
We're both turning 30 in the 2012-13 academic year, and it's interesting to be able to compare ourselves to characters the same age!
I know! Watching David and Sophie now drinking pints in the Rovers, when I remember them being born and Chesney also old enough to drink in the pub! that kills me too!
Imagine how I feel - I started watching when Gail was a teenager ... Though I should add I'm not as old as Gail! I was only 7 when Mum started letting me watch.
As for characters who were teens alongside me, it's Sally and Steve that are still in the Street. Though thinking about it I don't think there were as many teenage characters in the late 80's as there have been in later years.
It would be nice if some of them actually started acting like they're in their 30s.
I remember when dreary middle aged Dierdre was the totty of t'Street. Five hundred thousand fag packets away!
Chesney is the one who makes me feel really old, wasn't it just about five minutes ago he was a cute little lad on the street....oh my.
Tyrone and Kirk somehow seem much younger than Leanne.
Gail may have introduced as a teen but Helen Worth was older. I also take comfort in the fact that Ann Kirkbride is older than the 55 year old Deidre. I look younger than the lot of them.
Leanne looks at least 10 years older than she is. I was noticing the other day how aged she is. Her and I are the same age but she looks a sold as my mum.
stella dress at the rovers new years eve party ,had they cut up all her old dresses to make it ,it was a show!!like patch work quilt
Fiz in her mid 30s? I'm sure that's correct, but it doesn't seem quite right. I thought she was supposed to be about 8-10 years older than Ches, and about the same as Maria and Tyrone.
