Coronation Street weekly awards, December 6 - 10


Hero of the week: Gold Star: Ashley, R.I.P.
Silver Star: (tie) Ciaran and Jason.
Bronze Star: everyone else that helped get someone out from under the rubble.

Chump of the week: Gold Star: John Stape for hammering Charlotte and putting her *into* the rubble!

Desperation award: Gold Star: Becky robbed the shop to get money to pay Kylie.

Beat me with a guilty stick award: Gold Star: Carla, who was the one that sent Nick back to tell Peter about the affair.

Forget men, stick with women award: Gold Star: Carla again. She's lost her brother-in-law, Dean, her first husband, Paul, her lover, Liam, all to sudden violent accidents and her second husband Tony blew himself up. Now the one she is in love with is still not out of the woods after an accident as well and she's lost the one friend she's got.

Private Hell award: Gary and his Afghanistan flashbacks.

That solves that problem award: Gold Star: Molly did say she was leaving Tyrone and she wouldn't be back. She was right.
Silver Star: Charlotte's brain-dead and her parents ask "Colin" if they should take her off life support. Doh.

There's no way to award any stars in particular for performance of the week. They were all astounding, even the ones that I don't normally find all that good.

Lines of the week:
Rita: "What is it wi'me and trams!"
Ashley: "It's a stag night, what's going to happen?" (Oh Ashley!)
John: "Anyone can hit a nail with a hammer" (and a bigger target is even easier)
Dr. Carter: "What's the worst that could happen?" Tina: "Well you might not get out of here alive"
Nick: "That's the last time I have a stag do in here!"
Simon: "It's a bit smoky up there!"
Norris: "The vision of Hell itself"
Molly to Sally: "He chose you because you are beautiful inside and out"
Carla: "You didn't choose Peter. You married him for his expiry date" (Ouch)
Sally: "Did you bother running or was that just fancy dress?" and "Nothing like a tumour in your wife's breast to shake you out of a midlife crisis!"

How about Looting is a jailable offence award Becky, fed up with this bad seed, her erratic over acting and her total total selfishness plus the unhealthy obsession with her nephew.

What happened to the Red Cross etc award: People would normally be in a Church hall or somewhere to sleep overnight not just left to wander around in a state of shock and walk in and out of their houses at will

The most appalling emergency services award: not only did they take over half an hour to turn up due to some “RTA” which wouldn’t need all the services in the whole of the North, nothing seems to be cordoned off or supervised properly and people can wander around aimlessly willy nilly.

Best recovery award: Jason would have suffered severe smoke inhalation and would have had to go to the hospital, not to the Rovers with Eileen.

Best hairdresser award: Rita didn’t have a hair out of place after her “ordeal”. Her croaking help was almost comical and didn’t she act the BIG star on Paul O’Grady. You would think she was Helen Mirren.

Totally inappropriate character award: Mary with her stupid and glib comments whilst Claire was sobbing nearby after Ashley’s death. The obsession with Norris is just not funny any more and the character has become somewhat creepy and should be written out.

I knew they shouldn't have pulled down the Glad Tidings Mission Hall. It would have come in useful now!

I"m with you on Mary.

For me, Jane Danson stole the show. A brilliant performance as Leanne and another well done to Kate Anthony. She does everything she can when she's given the chance with Aunty Pam. Please give her more to do - she is a great actress and Pam could do so much more in The Steet.
