So here goes. If you had to pick one Coronation Street character who you particularly love at the moment and one you particularly hate, who would they be? Only one each please, and remember I am asking for characters, not actors!
My heroine of the week has to be the deliciously awful, Doris Babbage. Helen Fraser was an absolute delight as the barnstorming Doris, and in my opinion completely nailed her character, which considering her limited screen time in one episode, was quite a feat!
Doris brightened up the aftermath of the Eric storyline no end. The dialogue was sharp and funny and she definitely had potential to be a great classic Corrie character. She is my heroine mainly for playing Gloria at her own game, coming out on top and making Glo see sense. Here's hoping this is a turning point for Gloria and we see a softer side emerge in the weeks to come. Personally, I'd love to see Doris return. I think she would make a wonderful Rovers Return landlady.
So now we come to my villain of the week. I was very tempted to make Karl Munro the villain of the week, however as I know there is more to come from him, we'll leave him be for now. I'm just glad they are giving John Michie something to do at last! Anyway, my villain of the week is Julie Carp. She has really started to grate on my nerves over the Tyrone business. How could she be so stupid? What kind of friend is she? She has known Tyrone and Fiz for years but still sides with the unhinged, deranged Kirsty regardless. I never thought I would turn against Julie - maybe her association with half-sister Eileen has turned her bad? I cannot wait for the truth to come out, as it will, and I hope Julie, Eileen and the rest are made to grovel and eat large slices of humble pie. Who needs friends like these?!
So let's have your Corrie hero(ine) and villain(ess) from the past week in Weatherfield. I'm off to start the Bring Back Doris Babbage campaign. Antigua's gain is most definitely Weatherfield's loss!
