It's beginning to look like a Corrie Christmas!

For those of us in the UK, summer is over. However the days remain warm, the evenings mellow and yet . . . Yes, the world of advertising and the world of soap operas are rushing us towards December 25th. Corrie's series editor, Louise Sutton, is already decking the halls and getting those sprouts on a low boil. In this week's 'Radio Times' Sutton confirms that the festive Street storyline has been agreed and that she is 'really pleased with it'. More importantly though, will viewers be raising a glass of mulled wine to it come New Year's Day?

Which raises the question - what makes a good Corrie Christmas story? Last year I rambled on at length about the festive episodes on my own blog http://clinkerstoriddle.blogspot.com/ (check out the December 2010 waffle).

That 'other' soap (you know - London, lots of screeching, old woman in a laundrette) came up with possibly the worst Christmas storyline ever when it killed off Pauline Fowler under a Christmas tree. Maybe Becky could get crushed under Santa's sleigh over in Weatherfield this year?

Could December be magic if there is a whirlwind wedding for Anna and Owen? Will Maria find her Mister Right (although maybe she should settle for Mr Dull and get on with it)?

What storyline would you gift to the folks of Weatherfield this year?
