The moment has come. You have been voting all week in my poll to find Coronation Street's best mother. It seems fitting to reveal the final results today, Mothering Sunday in the UK. First of all, a massive big smiley thank you to everyone who voted and commented on this, my first poll on the Coronation Street Blog. When I came up with the idea I was initially worried nobody would vote! So thanks to the 493 people who did!
I did deliberately pick eight characters I thought would split opinion and create debate. As it turned out, it was a clear fight between two Corrie mums - Anna Windass and Audrey Roberts. Both good, strong characters, but very different mums.
And the ultimate winner was... Audrey Roberts with 42.19% and 208 votes! I admit I am quite pleased by this, as Audrey is my favourite character. Sue Nicholls is a brilliant actress so a big electonic Mother's Day bouquet to her (and our Aud!)
Anna Windass came second in the poll with 36.11% (178 votes). For a long time the surprise leader in our poll, personally I'm surprised she even came second!
So, to a quick run down of the other results:
Sally Webster - 7.71% (38 votes)
Michelle Connor - 5.07% (25 votes)
Gail McIntyre - 3.85% (19 votes)
Deirdre Barlow - 2.43% (12 votes)
Stella Price - 2.03% (10 votes)
And finally, at the cow's tail - Tracy Barlow with 0.61% and surprisingly, 3 votes!
I hope you all enjoyed the poll - and I'm sure the results will get you all talking! So are you happy with the outcome?You can follow us on Twitter @CoroStreetBlog and Facebook: CoronationStreetBlog
