Neville Buswell also quit the cast, after ten years playing Ray Langton. Deirdre and Tracy were originally meant to leave with Ray, as writers felt there were enough young women in the cast, but they changed their minds and decided to explore Deirdre's life as a single mother after Buswell pleaded for Anne Kirkbride's job. In November, Ray left the Street for Holland by himself, with Deirdre refusing to accompany him due to his affair with waitress Janice Stubbs. Once again, Coronation Street had no episode on Christmas Day even though it fell on a Monday.

Deirdre and Tracy were originally meant to leave with Ray, as writers felt there were enough young women in the cast, but they changed their minds and decided to explore Deirdre's life as a single mother after Buswell pleaded for Anne Kirkbride's job. In November, Ray left the Street for Holland by himself, with Deirdre refusing to accompany him due to his affair with waitress Janice Stubbs. Viewers were also introduced to factory loudmouth Ida Clough, who was a semi-regular for ten years appearing in factory-related stories, and, in the last episode of the year, young biker Brian Tilsley, the first sign of an increased role for Lynne Perrie's character Ivy Tilsley which would occur in 1979. The programme also gained a new permanent set in Dawson's Cafe, succeeding the Kabin's limited cafe section which was transformed into a record shop. Once again, Coronation Street had no episode on Christmas Day even though it fell on a Monday.
