Coronation Street’s Tyrone Dobbs has been at the centre of a major storyline recently, as his father Ross Wilkes<\/a> has turned up on the cobbles and turned everyone against mum Cassie Plummer, to the point where Tyrone disowned her and she decided to leave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But don’t go thinking that this storyline will lead to Ty making his own exit.<\/p>\n

Actor Alan Halsall has been on the ITV soap for 28 years, starting off when he was just 15 years old, and won’t be leaving any time soon.<\/p>\n

“I feel very fortunate. I love my job. I’ve just signed a new contract that will take me into my 29th year,” he told The Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And he really wants to hit the milestone of 30 years, like Bill Tarmey and Liz Dawn \u2013 the actors who played his on-screen parents Jack and Vera Duckworth \u2013 did.<\/p>\n

“That was a big thing for Bill and Liz, who played Jack and Vera. I know Bill was desperate to get to 30 years and he accomplished that,” Halsall explained.<\/p>\n

“That’ll be a big milestone for me because they were two people that looked after me when I first started. I just pinch myself.”<\/p>\n

“I’m nearly three times as old as when I first started! I always wanted to act, still do,” he added.<\/p>\n

Halsall also spoke about how he’s not overly fond of Ty and Fiz being compared to Jack and Vera, stating: “I try to steer away from that. To me, Jack and Vera were Mr and Mrs Coronation Street! I can’t live up to that.<\/p>\n

“They were, for me, so synonymous with the programme, even to this day. I think that’s testament to the legendary characters that they were.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the actor playing Corrie’s new villain has teased that his storyline will continue into Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
