Template:Coronation Street character

Keith Appleyard, played by Ian Redford, is a fictional character on the soap opera Coronation Street.

Keith is the father of Angela Harris. When she and her family lived in Sheffield, she witnessed a murder. Keith persuaded his daughter to tell the truth and testify against the criminals at the trial, which resulted in the Harris family having to move to Weatherfield under the name of Nelson in witness protection.

Keith first appeared in Coronation Street 3 years later in 2005 to help his daughter after her husband Tommy had been murdered. He stayed in Weatherfield for support and ended up looking after his grandchildren Katy and Craig after their mother was arrested for the murder of their father. Katy (the real killer) committed suicide after the guilt got too much for her, and Angela was imprisoned for helping Katy cover up the crime. Keith decided to move to Coronation Street to look after Craig, rather than taking Craig back to Sheffield with him, as he felt Craig had suffered enough - plus, Weatherfield was closer to Angela's prison than Sheffield was.

Since moving in, Keith has started dating Audrey Roberts, who is his exact opposite in many ways. Keith is always watching the pennies, and has recently taken up a paper round to earn some extra money. His hobbies include taxidermy.

Keith is widowed, his wife having died between 2002 and 2005 (Angela phoned her mum up at Christmas 2002).

Archie Shuttleworth has returned to the Street, who left because Audrey turned him down with his proposal (he asked her to marry him), so Keith is very jealous and moody.
