Derek Griffiths will be seen on Coronation Street for the first time next week.
Derek is joining Coronation Street as retired mechanic
Freddie, a pensioner who strikes up an unlikely friendship with Kylie
following the death of his wife, a beauty client of Kylie's. Through
Kylie he finds new friends and a surrogate community in the Street.
Speaking about joining Coronation Street Derek said:
"I remember being a young boy and watching Violet Carson on Coronation
Street. She was a brilliant character that people loved to hate and
later when I became an actor and played the villain in panto many times
those are qualities I would bring to the role.
"When I came for my audition one of the first things I saw was a huge
photo of Violet Carson on the wall. I am very much looking forward to
walking in those hallowed footsteps."
