He actually does look really young for his age, if I had to guess I'd have said he was 65-70 rather than 80, the fact that Anne Kirkbride (Deirdre) is only 57 is quite weird xD

Meh, he's an good character, they'd do damage to the show by getting rid of him, he's one of the main backbones of the show, the only other people from the original episodes who are still there are Dennis Tanner and Emily Bishop

He recently got pneumonia, he brushed it off like a cold He's obviously kept himself very healthy for a 80 year old

..he looks healthy in the photos..it's hard to believe he's 80..bit of a Cliff Richard I guess..I think he's had a lot of sadness in real life too which sometimes takes it's toll..well you can't get to that age and not..he really is the icon of all British soaps..the father figure of all who all who came after..quite a guy is William..may he reign for many more years

I'm with Kizzy and Jords, he's ****e. So is Dreary. Time they got gunned down in a post office robbery. What, that's already been a storyline? Well let's recycle it anyway.

I think Deirdre's good, she can be funny when she's not given crap stuff to do with Tracy. I can see her turning into the new Blanche.
But, yeah, just because Roache has been there from the beginning doesn't mean he's anything special. Plenty people stay in the same job for most of their lives, but it's a pity he didn't learn anything acting-wise during his 50 years on the show. He's always hammy.

You're thinking of Emmerdale there

I don't see the point in killing either of them off, there's no point, they have a lot of connections in the show.

Oh yes, Emmerdale did it too with Vivs family but Corrie did it in the early years. That's how Emily Bishops husband died, in a Post Office robbery. Aw.

Factory robbery they burst into Baldwin's Casuals office, Mike kicked the door open and the gun went off killing Ernest, fast forward to 2005, the shooter turned up to try and earn forgiveness from Emily
