Trivia: There is a shop in the square called Barratt's Bargain Corner, cleverly incorporating the BBC's initials.
Trivia: As of March 2010, Adam Woodyatt remains the only cast member still in the show from its inception in Feb 85. Still a bit behind Bill Roache, who has played Ken Barlow in Corrie since it began in 1960.

Trivia: When the new set was built in 2022/23, to fit the available space, Albert Square was rotated 90 degrees, with the north side of the square becoming the east side. This has resulted in the direction of shadows changing in episodes filmed on the new set.
Trivia: 23 July 2009: In this episode, Ruth Gemmell plays Debra, the mother of Ryan (Neil McDermott). In real life, Gemmell is only thirteen years older than McDermott.
