Coronation Street pub landlady Bet Lynch has been voted the most iconic female soap character ever. The poll of over 2,000 adults was carried out on behalf of ScS, the UK’s leading sofa and carpet specialist.
Other soap females that ranked highly in the ScS poll included EastEnders’ Pat Butcher/Evans and Coronation Street’s Rita Littlewood/Fairclough/Sulivan/Tanner. The top 10 was dominated by EastEnders and Coronation Street apart from Emmerdale’s Lisa Dingle, who was the only character from a different soap.
“We know people love their soaps and over the years we have been treated to many iconic sofa moments in soapland. Our poll has voted stars of Coronation Street and EastEnders as the most iconic and memorable in terms of style, which we have turned into would-be sofa designs inspired by their character. Here at ScS, we are all big fans of watching soaps on the sofa and this year, 100 years of the suffragette, is the perfect time to celebrate some of our favourite female characters. We hope people enjoy our take on how the sofas of these characters could look and we’d encourage everyone to get involved and vote for their favourite on Facebook.” – Vicki Burns, Communications Executive.

I wouldn't really argue with this. I have other favourites like Elsie and Deirdre. The classic episodes lately have shown what a brilliant double act Julie and Roy Barraclough were.
ReplyDeleteMy favourites in the Corrie classics - Bet and Alec.
