Coronation Street stars Jack Ellis and Matthew Crompton have been given new contracts with the soap.
The actors joined the ITV1 show as bookies Harry and Dan Mason late last year. They have since become a hit with fans of the programme and will now stick around in Weatherfield for at least another year.
A Corrie source told The Mirror: "Viewers have really taken to them as a couple of Jack the Lad smoothies."
Crompton, who previously appeared as PC Sam Harker on The Bill, recently thanked the soap's producers for saving his career.
Can't say I have taken to them that much yet. I think the father is a bully and the son is just plain stupid :angry:
