Would you like to be our fan of the week? All details here.
I'm a University Prof, born in Washington D.C., lived everywhere from California to Paris to Toronto.
How long have you been watching Corrie?
I've been watching since 2000, the year my daughter was born. She hated the idea that I might love Corrie as much as I loved her, so she turned the TV off every time I tried to watch. Since than, she's older and I've been catching up, watching episodes on youtube, from 1960 forward.
Who are your favourite female and male characters - and the reasons why?
Favourite female character? Deirdre. Because she was always eccentric and mercurial. She never fit a pattern. One minute she was subservient, the next powerful and independent.
Favourite male character? Mike Baldwin. Always loved the way he put the screws to Ken Barlow. Like Dierdre, he was hard to pin down. Was he for the workers? For his own self-interest? Very difficult to tell.
What's been some of your favourite Corrie storylines over the years?
I really like the political storylines. Things crank up when the writers tackle difficult social issues. Loved the factory strikes, loved Hayley Copper, love the current teen pregnancy storyline with FayE.
And what would your fantasy Corrie storyline be?
Fantasy storyline? Everyone around the bar at the Rovers talking about whom they plan to vote for in the next election and how to solve climate change.
