There is often confusion and amusement when characters from any soap go away for while and suddenly return with a different head. But it may not come as any surprise that there are a huge number of Coronation Street characters that have been played by multiple actors.
In more recent years the likes of Summer Spellman, Max Turner, and Aadi Alahan have all seen the original actors who played them 'replaced' as they returned to the cobbles and faced some big storylines. But the swaps actually stretch back years with the likes of Tracy and Peter Barlow not being played by Kate Ford and Chris Gascoyne as we see now.
While some stars are replaced when characters return to the show due to them needing to be played by someone older, others have been replaced due to actors quitting the show.
