Best Actor - Jack P Shepherd (David Platt). I love David, even now he's got that beard and did.....did Audrey give him a perm?!
Best Actress - Patti Clare (Mary Taylor-Cole). I love what the writers have done with Mary this year and Patti C can do it all - comedy, pathos, tragedy, anger, shame, and so forth. Long may her storylines continue.
Best Villain - Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre). Even Nasty Nathan and Evil Clark Kent (Michelle's stalker Will) were no competition.
Funniest Male - Brian Packham (Peter Gunn). Stiff competition from Steve and Tim, but Brian always brings the hilarity.
Funniest Female - Gemma Winter (Dolly Rose Campbell). Everything Gemma does is amazing.
Best Newcomer - Daniel Osborne (Rob Mallard). OK, he technically arrived at the end of last year, but I love Daniel with his longing looks from under lashes, his languid limbs, his shortlived romance with
Runner Up - Nicola Rubenstein. An interesting character whom I hope stays on after Phelan is banged up.
Best Young Actor - Fay(e) Windass (Ellie Leach). I do love Blanche-a-like Amy Barlow but Faye's teenage eye-rolls always make me laugh.
Sexiest Male - Andy Carver (Oliver Farnworth). Even with the kidnap stubble and the crusty denim shirt.
Sexiest Female - Eva Price (Cath Tyldesley)
Runner up - Rosie Webster
Best Partnership - Norris and Mary.
Runner Up - Todd and Billy (sob!)
Most On/Off/On/Off/On/Off/On/Off Couple - Gary and Sarah
Runner up - Faye and Seb
Best Storyline - The Evengeance of Ms Price
Mystery Storyline - Who Clobbered Ken?
Runner Up - Who's Leanne's Baby Daddy?
Most Upsetting Storyline - Bethany's grooming by Nathan
Runner up - Michelle's miscarriage
Best Return - Carla!
Runner up - Rob Donovan
Worst Exit - Moo(i)ra with Vic Reeves to Stoke On Trent (the horror!). At least there's a way back for our titian queen of the medical centre.
Runner Up - Mr Tilsley in the Nicksand (or, slightly after anyway).
Worst Dressed - Kate gives Toyah a run for her money with her ensembles from the 1978 edition of the Clothkits catalogue, but Ms Battersby's high necked Edwardian blouses make me reach for the sickbag.

That was fun, Rachel! And I don't usually like Reviews of the Year.
Toyah's dark-lace-trimmed blouses, among other weird wardrobe items, look like something out of Upstairs, Downstairs, the original series, not the update.
Fingers crossed for Corrie to turn a corner in 2018.
The sexiest male and female should be consigned to the bin. Nothing to do with acting.
I would definitely give Moira a close second as the funniest female. I prefer Tim to Brian, especially when he's in scenes with Steve.
Rob's short return was a highlight for me this year.
Longest running hysterical crying and OTT ham acting and blubbering by a character.. followed closely by a complete personality transplant in 6 minutes from Jekyl to Hyde..Billy and Peter. OMG enough already. Sorry..just had to toss that in there.
Great! I've been keeping a list myself and we certainly agree about Sarah and Gary. In my list it's the "Flip Flop award!)
I agree except for Brian as funniest male. Tim, Steve and Kirk are all funnier than Brian. In fact, Brian is not funny at all to me, just stupid.
Agreed, and I’d add the David and David the Dog double act to that list.
Excellent list, but I can't agree about Brian. He's just annoying and unbelievable. The supposedly 'funny' antics he gets up to with Cathy are just excruciatingly embarrassing. I feel sorry for the actors having to delivery such appalling tripe....
