Corrie's Eileen's Dad

[Velvetee]

Why is Eileen's dad Indian?

[sara3]

he's not.. but he's had a bad spray tan.. as you do when you're 70!

[banned-dot]

he used to be in Crossroads or something like that

[Velvetee]

I'll have to look at the credits, as he looks familiar as an Indian actor.

[legendis.god]

Could he be of indian decent?

Or is that too much to believe?

[factor-fiction]

At first when he turned up at the bookies I thought it was the Indian business man whose wife and daughter Dev was going out with.
The northern accent sounds a bit false.

[Velvetee]

Eileen doesn't look Indian at all.

His name is Edward De Souza. I believe that's a South American name.

He told Rita his name was Colin Posthlewaite, but the credits have his character as Colin Grimshaw. I though Grimshaw was Eileen's married name?

Was disappointed when he was shouting through the lettebox that he did not sing the old Dixie midnight runners number Come on Eileen

[sara3]

well there you go.. !

Thanks Sara, saw similar write up on IMDB, not very much about him, except he narrates alot of audio books, has been in alot of stage plays and was in a Bond film.

Eileen has never been married........................so her maiden name is grimshaw.
