| Michelle with Barry "daddy" Connor |
Other Irish links include barman and chef Ciaran McCarthy who was played by Boyzone’s Keith Duffy.Paul, Liam and Michelle Connor’s parents Barry and Helen are Irish and live in Ireland although none of the children have an Irish accent. Unless they were brought up in Manchester and then the senior Connors returned to their native island.
Elsie Tanner had two Irishmen as lovers: Jim Mount (1965-66) and Ron Mather (1978-9).
And when Concepta visited in 1972 and 1975, she was accompanied by her fiancée and later second husband Sean Regan. Upon his visit, Sean made a pass at Bet Lynch.
And a piece of trivia for you: Sam Kydd, who played Mike Baldwin’s Cockney wide-boy dad Frankie, was an Irishman!
And a member of our blogging team, Emma, is also Irish!
I wonder if they'll be celebrating St. Patrick's Day in the Rovers Return tonight in Corrie?

Steven had an Irish girlfriend very briefly, after his breakout with Karen. I don't recall her name though.
Steve not Steven!
Odd, my original post disappeared...just wanted to mention that Steve had an Irish girlfriend very briefly, I think after he split from Karen (no, not Ronnie). Can't recall her name.
Jim often referred to his sons as Steven and Andrew, I suspect this is the reason for using his full name.
Wasn't the crazy nanny that worked for Gail and developed a crush on Martin Irish? I've forgotten her name...
That's Carmel Finnan. :)
Yes. Carmel the mad nanny!
Carmel was the nanny obsessed with Martin Platt. Steve's Irish girlfriend was Louise Hazel.
Prompted me to think of Scottish connections. Could only come up with Ken Barlow's vanishing son and Phil the foot fiddler.
More Scots? Tony Gordon!
Hang on a minute Jim is actually from Northern Ireland to be more precise he's from a loyalist background
Great stuff! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
On that street it seems to be St Patrick's Day all year long. Everyone and his grandmother guzzles beer pretty much all the time.
When Lynda Sykes fled after she married Mike Baldwin and her affair with his son came out, she was considered missing. Mike was suspected of having killed her but she was found later in Ireland.
