Corrie weekly awards: August 1 - 5


Chivalry award: Smoky Star: Nick lighting Becky's cig?

Problem Child award: Gold Star: Amber busted Dev's rules and has been kicked out of uni.
Silver Star: That Beth's lad, apparently a junior arsonist. Hey, he could be Graeme Proctor in the making though.


Nosey Nelly award: Gail just can't help interfere where Kylie is concerned. Kylie's business with Social Services is none of her business.

Shortest "For Keeps" couple  ever award: Gold Star: Becky and Nick? Really? And it and the job didn't even last a week.

Smoke and mirrors award: Becky and Steve are trying to one up each other. It's so obvious.

Dubious taste award: I'm not quite sure I'd want a sofa quite that pink.
Miracle Cure award: Medical Star: David put back a lot of plonk at the bistro but that can't be a good thing if you're on meds for epilepsy but that storyline seems to have been completely forgotten.

Slum Lord award: Dev tells Tina he's jacking up the rent and I bet he's not charging Amber that extra 60 a month. He's such a tw...it.

Where are all these extra spare rooms in the terrace houses coming from? They're all 2 up 2 down. That means 2 bedrooms up, plus a bathroom (which used to be the bitty room before conversions). Sunita and Dev have the kids each in their own room and now Tyrone has a spare room though he's got Tommy living there too.

Lines of the week:
Gail "I'd make a wonderful addition to the bar staff" Becky "What, as the mascot?"
Dev about Amber "When she was a kid she used to watch courtroom dramas and say Daddy I'm gonna do that one day." (Oh? You weren't around until she was a teenager and she never ever called you Daddy)
David "You've got Becky working for you? As what? A bouncer?"
Maria "'E don't know much about management but he does know about sucking up"
Becky "Is this a party? It looks more like a living nightmare to me!"

Skank award...Becky swaning down Gail's stairs in Nick's shirt and plopping her post-coital arse on Gail's counter. GAAGGGG!!

Frostys awards:

Strange attire for occasion award: David and Kylie appeared in Court attempting to get Max back; David was dressed in a tux and Kylie in a sparkly dress and long dangling diamante ear-rings, more appropriate for an evening occasion or a game show than a day in Court trying to prove they would be responsible parents.

WHAT is the point of Tina award: Now I know she is popular with some men as she is a pretty enough girl, but what exactly is the point of this spiteful constantly miserable character. Brought in as a girlfriend for David, she should have been written out when their relationship is over. Just drifts from bloke to bloke moving in like a cuckoo and getting thoroughly unpleasant when things don’t go her way. How dare she throw food around Tyrone’s home that he kindly allowed her to stay in, and she isn’t even Tommy’s girlfriend so why the venom? I find her extremely tiresome.

Largest Onion Rings in the World Award: Did you see the size of them, almost as big as Amber’s head, complete with that weird hair cut she sports. I am not sure if that silly little ménage a trios was an attempt at humour, if so it didn’t work.

Are we supposed to care award: Do we really have to suffer the angst of Chris and his brain tumour? He is a horrible character, a wife beater who came to the Street to stalk Cheryl. He robbed Janis’s flat scaring the life out of her and tried to put the blame on Lloyd, and beat up Jim on Owen’s instruction. Now we are supposed to have empathy with this nasty piece of work? I couldn’t give a monkeys. Just send him off in a cab to London, end of.

Why is she still hanging around award: Now really why is Becky still in Weatherfield, it just doenst make sense that someone like her would hang around, shoe-horned into Roy and Hailey’s tiny flat with Hope and Syliva. I just wish she would Hop It instead of being in the forefront all the time. I just cannot bear her now. Who wears a baby doll nightie to an interview anyway.

Simpering award: Anna, I know she is popular but her sugary sweetness just gets on my nerves, along with that little girly voice. She really should have been written out with Eddie to have gone to Germany with him.

Yeah, those onion rings! I thought someone had deep-fried Tina's ear-rings!

What is the point of Tommy Award: If Weatherfield needed an animal to stalk every young, unattached female, then one of the residents could buy a tom cat and leave him "in tact". The two dates story was clearly meant to be funny, but was just awful. Tommy is a sleaze and it would be a gross exaggeration to say he was a two dimensional character, never mind three.

Get rid quick award: Brain tumours develop quickly in Weatherfield. One minute Chris is fine, the next he's like someone with severe dementia. He's missed an appointment with a Consultant, presumably a neurosurgeon, yet has no inkling something is wrong. Seems like yet another storyline written in haste on the back of an envelope.

Most Caring GP Award: Dr Carter stopping his car to tell Chris he missed his consultant appointment and he would make another one for him. I don't know of any GPs prepared to act as their patients' Secretaries.

I'm guessing either Tommy or Tina are using the front room, as at the Barlows. Or, given the levels of homoeroticism between Tommy and Tyrone, they're shacked up together.

Plus, Dev's house has a loft conversion - it's Curly's old observatory. So his house is uniquely three bedroom.

Tyrone's house does have two bedrooms so Ty and Tommy would each have one.

Gail's house accommodating Gail, Nick, the Odd Couple (Kylie & David); AND Max? C'est possible? If Tyrone's house has 2 bedrooms, Tina sleeps where? Just sayin'
