Coronation Street fans have been watching chaos unfold on screen. But away from the cobbles, Jane Danson and her husband Robert Beck quietly marked a milestone. Their twentieth wedding anniversary slipped in with the kind of warmth and steady affection that comes from years of surviving work and ordinary life together. Keep scrolling to learn more.
The Couple’s Marriage Started Long Before Fans Ever Knew
Jane has largely been a part of the soap throughout her life. She entered as Leanne Battersby in 1997 and developed her into one of the most complex characters of Weatherfield. Robert Beck has had a similarly long journey in the British soap world. He started in Brookside and later went to Emmerdale as Damon Harris. However, the fact that most people still don’t remember is that their beginning was not in some glittering moment.
One time, Jane admitted that during her school year, she had a Robert sticker on her pencil case. That was when he was a young rising star of Brookside, and she was only a fan. She shared that earlier this year, chuckling at how weird it is to admit something so teenage and innocent. And especially when you know that she ended up marrying the man she once put in her school supplies.
She recalled seeing him at the soap awards a couple of years later. The thing is that Robert subsequently came to Hollyoaks, playing a character who became Denise’s boyfriend on screen. And the whole thing has turned into an inside joke between them. However, the bigger truth is that Jane and Robert created something stable gradually.
Coronation Street Couple Celebrate Twenty Years Together
Their anniversary posts exuded a mild and tender vibe of two people who are deeply aware of what these past two decades have meant. Jane posted a beaming throwback photo of their wedding and sent a brief love note to Robert. She called him her love and let the memory do the talking.
The cast of Corrie quickly reacted with their support. Robert shared a tribute that was very much his own, with not only pictures from their wedding. But also some recent ones that demonstrate the extent of their change and growth. His words had a touch of humour when he referred to the crazy ride they had in their marriage and expressed his gratitude to Jane.
Such an instance was typical of extended partnerships, the small things that inevitably become memories, the daily occurrences that take on a life of their own, and hence become the story. For more Coronation Street spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
