Coronation Street Bill Roache And Anne Reid Relationship: Are The Costars Married In Real Life?
Bill Roache And Anne Reid are the iconic onscreen couple from the 60s. They played husband and wife in one of the longest-running ITV shows, ‘Coronation Street.’ However, after 8 years of being there for one another onscreen as a couple and offscreen as friends, Anne decided to quit.
The pair was loved so much that fans still ship them after 50 years of them appearing in the show. Anne’s character Valerie was killed off and the storyline had a twist where she passes away due to a faulty hairdryer.

Reid gave an explanation saying that she was desperate to leave the show because she thought that her creative boundaries were limited. The actress knew her plus point was comedy and in no way Valerie would allow her that.
Her leaving the show made Bill extremely sad as mentioned by the actor himself. Now, as they are reuniting after more than 5 decades, fans cannot keep calm. Both of them are excited to see each other as well.
