All the Corrie hunks past and present as star complains there's not enough totty

We look back on the catches of the cobbles over the years – for looks, personality, humour and bad boy mystique...
Aiden Connor Shayne Ward 2015-2018
His good looks and soulful singing won him The X-Factor in 2005, so when Shayne joined the cobbles as heart-throb Aidan, his popstar looks and designer stubble could have got him his pick of Underworld’s machinists. Instead he ended up with vixen Eva Price and gorgeous Aidan ended up taking his own life.
Brian Tilsley Christopher Quentin 1978-1989
Mechanic Brian’s grubby overalls got mums all hot under their bonnets.
The mullet-haired pin-up wed Gail and fathered Nick and Sarah Louise, but was stabbed to death at a nightclub. Coincidentally, actor Quentin’s career also came to an end when he got a job at Stringfellows.
Callum Logan Sean Ward 2014-2015
Hottie hardman Callum was a violent, criminal drug dealer who caused chaos on the cobbles. The evil, blackmailing ex-lag, played by Sean Ward, tried to take his biological son Max from his mum Kylie and extort money from the Platts.

A member of the 90s boy band Boyzone, Irish charmer Ciaran pulled pints – and ladies – as bar man in the Rovers. He even got himself arrested to avoid marrying Sunita, which would have been an even longer sentence.
Hero Ciaran also tried to help abused Shelley, but was sacked for his troubles.
Danny Baldwin Bradley Walsh 2004-2006
Sexy older man Danny turned out to be Mike Baldwin’s secret son. No stranger to the marital bed – other people’s that is – Danny left his first wife for the babysitter, then ran off with his son’s girlfriend.
When his son then had an affair with his second wife, viewers wondered if Weatherfield had moved to Alabama.
Dev Alahan Jimmi Harkishin 1999-now
Devilishly handsome and owner of a kebab shop, Dev is a cobbles catch. His wife Sunita divorced him when she found out he’d been giving his employees a little something extra in their...
