Coronation Street star Colson Smith has revealed he has now spent almost 10 years walking those famous cobbles.
The Craig Tinker actor, now 22, joined the ITV soap as a fresh-faced 11-year-old.
He followed his mum Beth Tinker - or Beth Sutherland as she is now known - to Weatherfield back in 2011.
Craig has gone from schoolboy to PC Tinker after joining the local police force, completely transforming his look along the way.
Taking to Instagram, Colson shared with fans on Thursday that he had officially reached his 10-year Corrie milestone.
"10 years of TINKS," he wrote alongside a photo of himself sat grinning from ear to ear outside the iconic Rovers Return.
He also shared the same image to his Instagram story featuring another photo of his younger self heading into the pub ten years ago.
"10 years @coronationstreet," he wrote alongside the side-by-side images.
And Colson's Corrie co-stars were among the first to flood the post with messages.
"You lil cutie," Jenny Connor actress Sally-Ann Matthews wrote.
Gareth Pierce, known for playing Todd Grimshaw in the ITV soap, added: "DECAAAADE!"
"Ah, there it is," Imran Habeeb actor Charlie de Melo commented.
Gogglebox star Izzi Warner also joined in, adding: "Aww I remember you joining, loved watching you grow up on screen."
Fans also couldn't believe how much time has passed by.
"10 years my god Craig has come long away," one commented.
Another said: "10 years wow where’s that time gone?!?!"
"No way! Our little Craig," a third added.
A fourth said: "Wow! Where does the time go?"
And many more were congratulating him.
"Yay! Congratulations- here’s to the next 10!" a fan commented.
Another wrote: "And what a brilliant job you’ve all been doing!!"
"Happy Corrie birthday," a third added.
