Corrie’s Les: Soap can last for 160 years
FORMER Coronation Street star Bruce Jones says the show is changing with the times and could run for another 100 years.
Bruce, 67, who played Les Battersby from 1997 to 2007, said of the 60-yearold soap: “The strength of the Street is the writing, the cast and the crew.
“It is becoming modernised, it is coming up again to another era and they will just go with it.
“They have been brave to tackle subjects… It makes them the greatest soap in the world, for my money. Coronation Street – 160 years, I think.”
Asked on the Distinct Nostalgia podcast if he might return one day, he added: “I think Les would still be that cocky. Never say never is my answer.”
