Prytherch aimed to introduce more younger cast members but these plans never materialised; 18-year-old Anne Kirkbride made her debut as Deirdre Hunt in November, at this time only a one-off appearance, but the main addition to the cast in 1972 was Barbara Mullaney as Rita Littlewood. Though Rita was a returning character, the role as written was a new one, and only became Rita Littlewood when Mullaney was cast and writers decided to make her the same character she had played in one episode in 1964.

abstract	Prytherch aimed to introduce more younger cast members but these plans never materialised; 18-year-old Anne Kirkbride made her debut as Deirdre Hunt in November, at this time only a one-off appearance, but the main addition to the cast in 1972 was Barbara Mullaney as Rita Littlewood. Though Rita was a returning character, the role as written was a new one, and only became Rita Littlewood when Mullaney was cast and writers decided to make her the same character she had played in one episode in 1964. Rita's early storylines concentrated on her club singing career, and in June, Roy Barraclough appeared in two episodes as club owner Alec Gilroy. Barraclough was later asked to play Alec full-time, but he didn't agree until 1986. By the end of the year, Rita and Len Fairclough were established as the Street's new power couple. Another cast addition was Diana Davies as Corner Shop assistant Norma Ford, replacing Sandra Gough's Irma Barlow at the establishment. Meanwhile, William Moore returned for a short time as Cyril Turpin, making what would turn out to be his final appearance due to his refusal to reprise the role. A new Coronation Street spin-off was considered in 1972. Entitled Rest Assured, and produced by Harry Kershaw, the series would have followed the comic misadventures of Ray Langton and Jerry Booth. A Kershaw-penned pilot under the title Lift Off was shot, starring Neville Buswell and Graham Haberfield, but the series was never commissioned.
