Introduced
as the owner of a clothing firm who gave a contract to Underworld owners Carla
and Liam Connor. Over the course of two years he courted and eventually married
Carla, found out about Carla’s affair with Liam and planned revenge by ordering
a hit man to run Liam down on Tony’s stag night. Not only a murderer, he was a
ruthless businessman. In 2008, he planned to expand Underworld and to do that
he wanted to buy The Kabin and the garage. When that failed, he planned to
demolish a terraced street where Jed Stone lived. Evicted Jed found himself
lodging with Emily Bishop which infuriated Tony. On Christmas Day 2008, Jed
accused Tony of murdering Liam. Tony strangled Jed, who managed to survive.
Carla found about Liam’s death and left Tony, who began a relationship with
Liam’s widow Maria. He then proposed and she accepted. In October 2009, Roy
Cropper discovered Tony was a murderer and Tony tried to kill him as well.
Guilty, he eventually confessed to the murder. In May 2010, he returned and
held Carla, Hayley and Maria hostage in Underworld before setting the place
alight. Only Tony perished. Should Tony be at 40? Should he be higher? Leave a comment!
39. Rosie Webster 1990-2012 (44 votes)
The
eldest daughter of Kevin and Sally, born in the back of Don Brennan’s car on
Rosamund Street – hence the name ‘Rosie’! She gave up her education at Oakhill
for a modelling career. She’s had relationships with Craig Harris, Luke Strong
and Jason Grimshaw. Her biggest regret was having an affair with teacher John
Stape. Because the affair ruined John’s relationship with Fiz Brown, John
sought revenge on Rosie by kidnapping her and holding her captive in his
grandmother’s attic. After many agonising weeks she was freed and John was
imprisoned. To many of the neighbours she was seen as a minx and a bitch who
disrespected her parents and saw herself as a cut above the street residents.
She was known for her unique view of life. She left for London in 2012 to
pursue a career in reality television.Check out who's at 42 and 41.

Tony Gordon and Rosie Webster higher than the magnificent Eddie? This poll is nuts!
ReplyDeleteAlways liked Tony, as in liked to hate. He was a great villain
ReplyDeleteTony Gordon was pretty mediocre villain IMO. He's already forgotten.
ReplyDeleteRosie was good when she was a goth, but then the character was reinvented as Candice 2.0, only not as good as the original. I was sad to see her go though.
