"...John Ernest Briggs (5 September 1935 28 February 2021)  was an English actor best remembered for his long standing lead role as Mike Baldwin in the soap opera Coronation Street, in which he appeared from 1976 to 2006.

He made his television debut in The Younger Generation with John Thaw. He featured in the police drama No Hiding Place, as well as a few Carry On films.  He also had roles in a number of other British shows, including Crossroads, The Saint, The Persuaders! and Thick as Thieves. 

In 2005 Briggs announced his intention to leave the role of Mike Baldwin in Coronation Street, citing the hectic filming schedule as the main reason for his departure. After appearing in 2,348 episodes, he filmed his final scenes in the show on 13 March 2006 and they were broadcast on 7 April. Briggs' character (who had been ill with Alzheimer's disease for several months) collapsed and died in the arms of Ken Barlow in the street after suffering a heart attack.."
