<P> Coronation Street and its characters often rely heavily on archetypes , with the characterisation of some of its current and recent cast based loosely on past characters . Phyllis Pearce ( Jill Summers ) , Blanche Hunt ( Maggie Jones ) and Sylvia Goodwin ( Stephanie Cole ) embodied the role of the acid - tongued busybody originally held by Ena , Sally Webster ( Sally Dynevor ) has grown snobbish , like Annie , and a number of the programme 's female characters , such as Carla Connor ( Alison King ) , mirror the vulnerability of Elsie and Bet . Other recurring archetypes include the war veteran such as Albert Tatlock ( Jack Howarth ) , Percy Sugden ( Bill Waddington ) and Gary Windass ( Mikey North ) , the bumbling retail manager like Leonard Swindley ( Arthur Lowe ) , Reg Holdsworth ( Ken Morley ) , Norris Cole ( Malcolm Hebden ) , quick - tempered , tough tradesmen like Len Fairclough ( Peter Adamson ) , Jim McDonald ( Charles Lawson ) , Tommy Harris ( Thomas Craig ) and Owen Armstrong ( Ian Puleston - Davies ) , and the perennial losers such as Stan and Hilda , Jack and Vera , Les Battersby ( Bruce Jones ) , Beth Tinker ( Lisa George ) and Kirk Sutherland ( Andrew Whyment ) . Villains like Tracy Barlow ( Kate Ford ) , Alan Bradley ( Mark Eden ) , Jenny Bradley ( Sally Ann Matthews ) , Rob Donovan ( Marc Baylis ) , Frank Foster ( Andrew Lancel ) , Tony Gordon ( Gray O'Brien ) , Caz Hammond ( Rhea Bailey ) , Richard Hillman ( Brian Capron ) , Greg Kelly ( Stephen Billington ) , Will Chatterton ( Leon Ockenden ) , Nathan Curtis ( Christopher Harper ) , Callum Logan ( Sean Ward ) , Karl Munro ( John Michie ) , Pat Phelan ( Connor McIntyre ) , David Platt ( Jack P. Shepherd ) , Maya Sharma ( Sasha Behar ) , Kirsty Soames ( Natalie Gumede ) and John Stape ( Graeme Hawley ) are also common character types . The show 's former archivist and scriptwriter Daran Little disagreed with the characterisation of the show as a collection of stereotypes . `` Rather , remember that Elsie , Ena and others . were the first of their kind ever seen on British television . If later characters are stereotypes , it 's because they are from the same original mould . It is the hundreds of programmes that have followed which have copied Coronation Street . '' </P>
