16. Danny and Frankie Baldwin 2004-2005 (89 votes)
When they arrived, Frankie had already cheated on Danny while Danny enjoyed a fling with Sunita. Danny had come up first from London and was shocked when Frankie soon followed. While Danny became a business partner at the factory with Mike, Frankie got a job in the café and struck up an unlikely friendship with Vera Duckworth.
In 2005, Danny had an affair with son Jamie’s girlfriend Leanne and Frankie kicked him out. When his relationship with Leanne soured, he tried to win back Frankie but was shocked that she was now with Jamie, her stepson. Failing to cope, he sold the factory and left.
Were you fans of Danny and Frankie? Should they be in the top 20?

I liked both the characters very much and would love to see them back on the street.
ReplyDeleteSadly though, there's no real reason for either of them to return and they both left quite ignominiously which may have soured their characters forevermore.
The Frankie/Jamie story in particular was one of the most sleaziest low points in the show's history. Even the current Peter/Tina story line doesn't come close to competing with this nadir
I really liked Frankie and Danny together, It was such a shame they put Jamie and Frankie together as they had a great relationship before they became a couple.
ReplyDeleteI would too like to see them back on the street.
