Your Corrie heroes and villains of the week

It's time to discuss our Corrie heroes and villains from the past week. This last week has been dominated by the Rovers Return going up in smoke (again). In the end my reaction to the fire episodes was a little luke warm (pun intended) although it wasn't all as bad as I expected. I still think the 1986 fire is by far superior, despite the special effects of today. 

For me there weren't any stand out performances this week, although both St Ella and Sunita were very good at playing unconscious. I always think big dramatic events or disasters tend to overpower acting performances.

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 this week is the gorgeous Eccles. A true heroine of the Rovers fire drama, she played her part superbly and definitely suffered for her art. On top of this, she also coped admirably acting opposite Tracy-luv Barlow all week. And on top of all that, Tracy even had a cold. Poor wee Eccles. In Tracy's defence, she showed a rare tender moment by going back into the Barlow residence to rescue the dog. So yes, more of Eccles in the future please, and less of Tracy.

My villain of the week was whoever came up with the idea of the strip show in the Bistro. What an unedifying spectacle, and oh boy did it drag on! If I lived in Weatherfield that would mark the last time I ate in the Bistro! I don't know who's idea it was to choreograph in all the bumping and grinding but all I can say is both Sean and Rita must be awfully easily pleased! And I agree with other posters here that the local GP would definitely not have become involved. I get that it was supposed to act as a lighthearted story to balance out the fire drama, but personally I could have done without it!

And if they were determined to go ahead with a strip show, why may I ask was the lovely Gary Windass not included?! Ahem...

So let's have your Corrie hero(ine) and villain(ess) from the past week in Weatherfield. Right,  I'm off to prepare myself for another hour of post-inferno Corrie drama tonight.
