Who's your favourite Corrie character? Now there's a conundrum. Can anyone choose only one character out of the hundreds who have appeared on the cobbles for over 50 years? It's no easy job!
Over the years, there have been countless polls asking people for their favourite Coronation Street character and I thought it would be fun to include one on this, the ultimate website for hardcore Corrie fans.
There are 60 characters in all in my poll and the first six are below. There'll be a new batch of characters every week so vote for your favourite. I've tried to separate the most popular characters but it was no easy task, believe me! And I know I'll have forgotten some but I think there's a representation for every commenter. When the final poll will appear in a few weeks and your favourite hasn't appeared, don't hesitate to include yours.
Now then, who's in our first batch?
Len Fairclough - The original alpha male who managed to woo three sirens (Elsie, Rita and Bet). A builder and councillor, he was a street regular for over 20 years
Hilda Ogden - A Corrie icon who's still fondly remembered. A legend, she is best known for her curlers, pinny, headscarf and her flying ducks. Married to Stan for 40 years, she was the Rovers' cleaner and the Street's gossip for 23 years
Derek Wilton - A bumbling stationery salesman who became Mavis' on/off boyfriend in 1976. After jilting each other in 1984, they finally married in 1988. He found himself a love rival in Victor Pendlebury
Mavis Wilton - An assistant at the Kabin for 24 years. Destined to be the Street spinster, she married Derek in 1988. A ditherer, she had a budgie called Harriett
Alec Gilroy - The Rovers' landlord between 1987 and 1992 and in 1998. Tight fisted, he had a tempestuous marriage to Bet
Alma Halliwell - Originally a vamp, she ran Jim's Cafe until 1995. She settled down when she married Mike in 1992 and became a gad-about with best pal Audrey.
Do you think there's a strong contest in the first batch?
So vote now for your favourite out of those six! And if you want to say who you've voted for and your reason for doing so, well leave a comment below! Check in next week to see who'll be in the next batch.
