Classic Corrie Christmas Moments Countdown - Day 15

Today we're going back to 1998, when the Duckworths had barricaded themselves in the Rovers after finding out from Rita that Alec Gilroy was planning to evict them.

It very much mirrored, in some way, the Nativity with Emily pointing out to Alec that there was 'no room in the inn' that night either!

The faces of Corrie in 1998

If you remember, last year I had a series of posts looking at the top 12 faces of each Corrie decade - the 1960s, the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s. For the next few weeks or so, I’ll be looking at the top 12 faces of each year between 1960 and 2013.

With thanks to Corriepedia for the information.
