The character sheet for ''CoronationStreet''. Be warned though, as a LongRunner, the cast is [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters voluminous]]. Only current characters have full character sheets since doing one for the hundreds that have existed in the shows history would probably be a life long project. Characters not currently appearing on the show have their own section with brief descriptions at the bottom of the page.
The page is current as of May 2013 in ''Coronation Steet''. If you're not caught up, beware spoilers.

!!Mike Baldwin(played by Johnny Briggs)
* Owned the factory over the road(among other things), for most of its existence starting as Balwin's casuals and then after it became Underworld. Mike was a tenacious self made man who got where he had by hard work and a lot of charm, not that he ever let anyone forget it. Mike always liked Deirdre and that turned into an affair in 1983 unfortunately Deirdre decided to stay married to Ken. Ken would never forgive Mike for the affair although Mike and Deirdre would remain friends until his death. A few years later Mike would marry Ken's daughter Susan(at least partly to piss of Ken on both their parts) but his sexism(she wanted to work he wanted a housewife) would cost him the relationship Susan left him after telling him she aborted his baby. A few years later he would meet Alma Sedgewick arguably the love of his life who he then dumped for a young blond tart. This would be a pattern for them and they would break up and get back together several times for much the same reason. In 2001 Peter Barlow revealed that Susan had lied and had actually had a son with Mike named Adam. Mike rivalry with Ken flared up again when Susan died and the two men fought for custody of Adam. As he was getting older Mike decided to bring in a partner his nephew Danny Baldwin. It was revealed that Danny was actually Mike's son, however they never got much time together as Mike developed Alzhiemer's disease. Mike died outside the factory in the arms of Ken Barlow of a heart attack on the seventh of April 2006.

!! Daniel Barlow (played by Lewis Harney)

!! Susan Barlow (played by Katie Heanneau, Wendy Jane Walker, Suzy Patterson, Joanna Foster)
* Ken oldest daughter and Peter's twin sister she famously married Mike Baldwin and had his son. Died in a car crash trying to run away from a custody fight with Mike. Mostly mentioned when Ken wants to manipulate Peter.
!! Valerie Barlow (played by Anne Reid)
* Ken's long suffering first wife and mother of Susan and Peter. She kept house and home together while Ken was busy being involved in politics and getting involved with other women. Was the street first hairdresser and ran her own shop out of number 9. Died when faulty wiring on her hair dryer electrocuted her and started a fire in her home.

* ClingyJealousGirl: She started out as this and only got worse with time.
* DomesticAbuser
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Subverted and painfully deconstructed. Kirsty emotionally and physically abuses Tyrone and it's played for drama. When Tommy and Tina tell people that Kirsty is abusing him, nobody believes them, and Tyrone is too scared to admit it.
* ManipulativeBitch: Despite being relatively knew, Kirsty has managed to manipulate quite a lot of people to get her own way, leading to massive bouts of KarmaHoudini. She was able to turn the whole street against Tina and Tommy after they found out about her abusive nature and tried to expose her, she managed to seriously injure Fiz and make her look like a crazy jealous Ex with her accusations, and now manages to turn the local opinion of Tyrone from GoodIsDumb NiceGuy into a DomesticAbuse-inflicting CompleteMonster, then turn Tyrone's desperate attempts to protect his daughter into evidence of guilt.
