2008 edit

Sarah appeared on the show in 2008. If you watch Coronation Street episodes that aired in January 2008 (e.g. [one]) you can see hear her voice for newly created messages. Hence I have amended the duration. :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:59, 16 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Character Name edit

Surely it’s best to use the name that’s credited at the end of current episodes. As going forward new people to the soap who may be interested in researching, won’t associate or know the character as their former name 151.224.140.16 (talk) 02:00, 10 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

The name at the head of the infobox needs to be the same as the article title – this is the same for every single page on Wikipedia. Her credited name, Barlow, is at the start of the lead. FYI, Platt is the article title because it's her WP:COMMONNAME over Barlow. – Meena • 05:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Also, the thing is with soap opera characters, the credited names change so much that it would be very difficult to continuously change them... if people look up "Sarah Barlow Coronation Street", they can still find this page, as it is mainly the first name which is of more importance. Hope this makes sense! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 04:51, 11 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
