If you remember, last year I had a series of posts looking at the top 12 faces of each Corrie decade - the 1960s, the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s. For the next few weeks or so, I’ll be looking at the top 12 faces of each year between 1960 and 2013.
With thanks to Corriepedia for the information.

Loved Linda Baldwin/Sykes. A real loss to the programme when Jacqueline Pirie upped-sticks.
ReplyDeleteAshley's only appearance? I'm surprised - there was a period when the helium-voiced butcher's assistant seemed to be in every scene!
ReplyDeleteIf I am not mistaken that makes 3 years where Leanne was #1 in screentime...yet I do not remember people being tired of seeing her. How unlike the Tina situation these days. Or was it just that there was no forum to express the opinion. lol
ReplyDeleteI thought it was 2 years for Leanne? then she left
ReplyDeleteThe character of Leanne is/was a multifaceted one, apart from recently, no one seems to have tired of her storylines or her attitude.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, to me, doesn't have anywhere near the range and diversity of the character Leanne, I lost interest in her ages ago.
Michelle started out so interesting and has turned horrible/ boring.
