At the end of March 2013 we booked our next holiday to England.  One of the first things I did afterwards was decide on a date to meet some of my lovely friends.  We are a small group of Coronation Street/Emmerdale fans who love to meet the cast from the shows and share our stories/photos.  We set the date for May 10th.  We'd meet at the Corrie gates, then go for a group meal at 2:30pm.  Days were booked off work, trains, hotels booked and the countdown started.  Some were coming quite a distance for the day.

It was a rainy morning (Helen Worth confirmed this for us), but that didn't dampen our spirits or stop the cast from stopping.  It was great saying hello to friends as they arrived, others I was meeting for the first time.  I felt like I knew them though from all our chatting online.

We had hoped to get a group photo with a cast member.  When Julie (Hayley as she had her wig on) came out to see me, I figured she would be the perfect person to ask for a group photo.  As it was early in the day a number of the others hadn't arrived yet so not everyone is in photo.

Love this photo and love Julie H.!

This was our largest turnout yet.  Others were missed.  It was a great day to be at the gates.  So many cast members were in, they were even using the visitor parking lot by the gates.

Before lunch we met Gail, Sally (who I had really wanted to meet), Hayley, David, Nick, Ches, Lloyd, Julie, Tracy, Michelle, Carla and producer Stuart Blackburn.  They didn't seem to mind at all stopping for our large group, signing autographs and posing for photos.

At 2:20pm we left the gates and headed to The Paramount, a 10 minute walk from the gates.  We'd met at the Paramount last time we were over and used the room upstairs.  It was perfect for our group, our own party room.  Lots of condiments were on the tables and lots of laughs we had.

I think next time we meet up we might need a bigger room!  Gary and Ryan were unable to meet us this day because Ryan was in school.  We sure missed the two of them.  Daz had us thinking of Ryan when he fell back on his chair!

We went back to the gates and minutes later we met the lovely Chris Gascoyne (Peter).  We also met Sinead, Eileen, Paul, Anna, Steve, Tim, Ryan, Ian and Kylie.

A lot of us met our favourites that day, Stephen met David, Karen met Peter, Hazel met Tim, Steph met Jason, Daz met Sinead, and Emma met Carla.  I was very happy to finally meet Sally.

Another special moment for me from that day was meeting Sol.  As he was approaching us he put out his arms wide.  I put my arms wide and walked towards him.  I then got the biggest hug!!!  It was so good I didn't let go for quite a while.  What a hug and wow, did he ever smell nice.

We may have met a lot of Coronation Street actors that day, but the real highlight for me was spending the day with special friends.  Thankyou to everyone who came.  I had the best day meeting up with you all.  


Can't wait till we meet up again!  ♥






*Thankyou to everyone in the group for sharing your photos.
