These two may be Yorkshire born, (you're googling aren't you ?) but they have made every effort to produce a Manchester accent, and is not noticeable. The large percentage of actors from Corrie have been casted locally or old time actresses that can do most accents as per Blanche.
Unfortunately, locally does not mean from Accy as per the two actresses I mentioned earlier. We, at Ossy Players, recently did a play set in Manchester, and no-one made the effort to produce a Mancester accent ('cept me of course ...
). 'Tis world's apart.
This thread seems to have digressed .. I know, my fault ... apologies West Ender .. LOL.
