For this final instalment I’ve been saving the best (and worst) ‘til last.
Johnny and Jenny
This is one of those times where Corrie got it absolutely spot on. Johnny and Jenny are perfect together. They’re given the perfect balance of serious and light-hearted storylines to make them a compelling, believable couple that we as viewers can really get behind and root for. Also, making them landlord and landlady of the Rovers was a genius move! My only criticism is that we don’t see enough of them.
Chesney and Gemma
Less is more is the phrase I’d adopt for these two. We’ve seen so much of them this past year that frankly I’m sick to the back teeth of them. If they’re not madly going at it like rabbits, they’re taking disastrous caravan trips, or giving birth in cable carts, or arguing about the quads in yet another farfetched, farcical plot that I really couldn’t give a stuff about.
Also, I can’t help but think the show’s painted itself into a corner with the quads. Having all those babies on set must be a nightmare!
Funny thing is, I actually used to like Gemma (well, maybe like is a bit strong), but since getting together with Chesney she’s completely gone downhill. Is Chesney’s superpower making every one of his girlfriends as boring and miserable as he is? Katie, Sinead, now Gemma – I’m starting to see a pattern developing here.
So that’s all folks! Sorry if I missed out your favourite couple but there are simply too many to list them all.
Thanks for reading.
