Anyone else enjoying the war of the Websters?

I've always liked the Webster family, but I was concerned about where the storyline might end up after Molly's death in the tram crash. Rumour had it that Kevin and Sally would end up reconciled and bringing up baby Jack as part of the family. How dull, I thought - we deserve something better after all those months of Molvin awfulness.

And it does seem like we're getting it. Kevin and Sally are at each other's throats, and it's bringing the best out of Sally Dynevor and Michael le Vell. At last Kevin's got something more to do than wipe his hands on an oily rag. I really like how he's turned a bit heavy, lamping Tyrone, demanding a divorce, shouting the odds right left and centre and bringing the estate agent in to value the house and so forth. Also enjoying his little moments with Rita. I'm still hoping that he does a Steptoe and Son and constructs a dividing wall down the middle of the house.

Horrible for "the girls" though. It will be interesting to see how Sophie and Rosie react as things develop.

Overall I'm pretty convinced that it's a love-hate situation - Sally's due to have a fling but I'm betting it will be a short-lived ego-boost and I think the Webster's will end up back together eventually.

Who wins the prize for best bawler in last week's Corrie?

What with all the death, destruction and general mayhem last week, there were an awful lot of tears shed on Coronation Street and rightly so.

I've been trying to decide which actor or actress was best at crying/bawling.

I'm leaving Fiz Stape aside, because she was giving birth. Her screams during the live episode are still echoing round my livingroom. My goodness, Jennie McAlpine must have felt better after that! It was more gruelling than listening to John Lennon's 'Mother'. I'm also not counting snivelling or sniffling. It has to be full-blown 'put your back into it' sobbing. Personally I'd go for Sally Dynevor as most convincing. Leanne (Jane Danson) was also pretty good. Carla (Alison King) would be next, but there was a bit too much snot.

Does anyone know how actors produce loads of tears? I'm hoping it's a hanky full of onions but I'm sure someone will disillusion me.
