The Joni Awards - celebrating the worst of Coronation Street 2017


Our friends at the Coronation Street podcast, Conversation Street, have held their annual awards and the results are here.

And in addition to their usual awards, they also had a brand new awards segment in Episode 289 of the podcast: The Joni Awards!


Named after the Coronation Street character played by Sarah Harding, who is unforgettable for all the wrong reasons, the Jonis are a cheeky look at the less than stellar aspects of our favourite soap.

Unlike the usual awards which are open to the public vote, the categories in the Jonis were nominated and awarded by Michael and Gemma at Conversation Street.  a

The lucky winners this year are as follows:

Worst new couple: Mary and Norris

Worst new character: Jude

Worst story: Brian's superstitions

Mardy Mare:  Anna Windass

Dirty Dog: Aidan Connor

Suspension of Disbelief:  Phelan's whisperings to Seb in his coma

Most Underused Character: Audrey

Most Boring Character: Alya

Build Up To Nothing: Rita's brain tumour

Some of these were tough choices! To find out why we picked each one, be sure to listen to Episode 289 of the podcast!

I love the podcast (learned about it right here in this blog!) and think this award is a hilarious idea. One minor disagreement: I like Mary and Norris and wish we’d see them working through the marriage mess they got themselves into.

I also disagree that Jude is the worst new character; his wife Angela is much more deserving.

I would nominate Izzy as the most underused character rather than Audrey.Audrey is at least featured from time to time with the Platts whereas Izzy wasn't even featured in her sister's death which became about Chesney's and Sinead's engagement or when Gary was presumed dead[another storyline that came to nothing!] despite being the mother of his son Jake as Sarah was the center of that storyline too!
Worst storyline would be Nicola being pregnant with Gary's child a week after sleeping with him?!
