NOT SINCE KEITH Duffy was roaming the cobbles as barman Ciaran McCarthy have Ireland has a recognisable face on Coronation Street.
Until last night.
A mysterious jewellery salesman called Phil arrives into the factory – and every Irish person watching immediately knew who it was
Ah yes, Simon Delaney.
And he’s in there selling Claddagh Rings!
Appropriate.
And he wasn’t holding back on the Irish accent and slang throughout
A familiar face for those watching back home
Everyone agreed that he fitted in, anyway
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Soon after his first appearance, he was trending in Ireland
He turned up in the pub in the second half, thinking he was on a date… but he actually wasn’t.
The soap gods were looking down on him throughout
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Even people who don’t know who he is want him to get a regular role
There he is beside Shayne Ward
That’s my goooooal.
The rest of the cast was happy enough with him too
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Will he be recurring? Hopefully.
Keeping the tradition of classic Irish characters in Corrie going – from Ciaran all the way back to big Jim McDonald.
Cracking.
