Nosy Nelly award: Gold Star: Sylvia pushed and poked to find out why Roy and Hayley are not producing grandchildren, including trying to get the truth out of Norris and Rita.
Pot Stirring award: Iron star: I think it's got to be a tie between Sally mithering Fiz and Tracy spelling the beans to Sylvia.
Loving: Becky facing down Sylvia. Roy's school photo. Ken pulling and cutting the plug on the jukebox.
Retro nod to Episode 1: Dennis said he wasn't ready for the knacker's yard, his mother, who was looking in a mirror in episode 1 said "Eee Elsie, you're just about ready for the knacker's yard."
Knight in Shining Armour award: Gold Star: Roy stoutly defended his Hayley against his mother's tirades. Yay, Roy!
Silver Star: Frank rescuing Carla. Peter's talk didn't do her much good in the end.
Feet under the Table award: Steve gone. Becky back in the Rovers. Sorted.
Family Tree award: Gold Star: Could Dennis be related to Eileen? We've always wondered about the Grimshaw connection.
Fashion award: Becky's t-shirt obviously meant she was up for a day of reckoning.
Wonder Woman award: Stella took on a bat weilding burglar who didn't take much threatening in the end.
Wonder Woman cracked: Carla fell to pieces after her mum died and her family turned on her.
Lines of the week:
Sylvia "I haven't the teeth for hard centres anymore. I have to rely on my bark, these days." Norris "She's no problems on that score."
Steve "The days I live in fear of women are well and truly o... Oh dear..." (In walks Becky)
Stella "She's been steadily necking snakebites all afternoon. Way she's going she'll have enough venom in her to bring down an elephant"
Eva about Steve "I can do better than him. No offence" Steve "Well, some taken"
Sylvia "I don't understand any of it" Becky "She's Hayley Cropper. It's as simple as that"
Becky to Sylvia "Hayley's got more kindness in her little finger than you do in your whole hairdo!"

Frosty's awards:
Most pointless newcomer award: Really do we need Eva as well? Karl and Stella are OK but this spiteful lazy whinger with attitude is just mega-irritating every time she appears on screen. Don’t we have enough cows already – Kylie, Tracy etc?
Goodbye and don’t come back award: Thank the lord the aunties have gone, not funny and cannot see why they were brought back. Hope that’s the very last we see of the old dears.
Slimline strawberry yogurt award: I just loved Sandeesh the high maintenance knicker buyer. Bring her in on a cameo story that would be a laugh. This whole knicker faktry business is ludicrous in this day and age with most business coming from China and the Far East now, and the staff larking around for most of the day, receiving numerous visitors or going on the daily cake run. A change of use is needed now.
Me me me award: Sean – all about him as usual. What does the personable and kind Marcus see in this self obsessed arm folding middle aged whinger?
Suddenly moved award: Since when was Andy in Brighton, though he lived in Spain with Liz. Andy should take over the licence with Steve, and get rid of the Prices, that would be a good storyline. The brothers McDonut ruling the Rovers.
Daftest burglar award: That twit welding the baseball bat in the middle of the day when he could have easily be seen by any of the busybodies on the street. Looks like Simon could have overpowered him. Very unconvincing.
I got the idea that Andy was only in the country visiting so Steve took the advantage of visiting him while he was here.
Agree with FTS...Glad to see the Auntie's go..not a bit funny..waste of time.
Sally really getting on my nerves with the jibes at Fiz..need some snappy comebacks for Fiz such as.."so..how do you like babysitting for Kevin?" etc. would be choice!!
I'm starting to feel as though the producer/writers of Corrie should give serious thought to polling viewers with ideas about storylines. They could even turn it into a marketing opportunity and couldn't possibly do any worse than most of what's on now. At least there'd be renewed buy-in from viewers and if a storyline was panned by the public, the writers/producer could deflect blame. Win-win. Someone with connections, get ITV on it. Please.
Anon: ITV do poll viewers, there's a special marketing thing that they ask viewers for their thoughts on stories and characters (Phil Collinson mentioned it in his last interview with This Morning). I don't know how they pick the people on the panel but I'd love to be on it!
Phil Collinson seems to be on This Morning more than Corrie's on tv. He certainly does love himself, his big ego and his big over inflated stories. He doesn't seem to have a clue, continuity is all over the place and even when they try and inject humour like what's needed, what do we get but the aunties! Really! Flaming Nora, please find out, they really need some help and you'd be just the kind they need. Show needs all the help it can get. Thinking of it, why conduct a poll and spend money, that's all they need to do is to get a researcher to pop on here every once in a while :)
