Members JamesF Posted January 2, 2011 Members Share Posted January 2, 2011 People think I'm joking when I say that Sally is my favourite Corrie character and I think I just have to accept that she's not for everybody! I don't think the Molvin story has reflected well on her as the Ian Davenport affair seems to have been completely forgotten but I think she was written as a much harder character in 2004. As far as the acting, I think SD's fantastic. She was terribly, terribly annoying until the early 00s (culminating in her nauseating affair with Martin Platt) but then she seemed to find her niche. I also think that the cancer experience has really galvanized Dynevor and she has a much greater level of confidence that is translating to screen presence.

Members BadBoy93 Posted January 2, 2011 Members Share Posted January 2, 2011 Mercy's pregnancy could have been a better storyline for The E20 Gang instead of them moping around for half the year with nothing to do. Although teen week was pretty entertaining. And yes i did , it was alright but nothing that was wow. She was also on Eric & Ernie On BBC 2 and she was really good in that.

Members Dion Posted January 3, 2011 Members Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'm behind on all the soaps except for Neighbours (heck we were two hours ahead of Australia between the Commonwealth Games and the season finale, but it's back to being at least two weeks behind now) and Shortland Street but here goes: BEST SHOW EastEnders WORST SHOW Home And Away MOST IMPROVED SHOW Neighbours BEST ACTOR Jake Wood(Max EE) BEST ACTRESS I kinda want to put Lacey Turner (Stacey Slater, EE) as I saw most of the Bipolar stuff in 2010, though in the actual 2010 episodes stacey's become annoying...I'll go for Lindsay Coulson (Carol, EE) instead WORST ACTOR Erin Mullally (Declan, Neighbours) WORST ACTRESS Rebecca Breeds (Ruby H&A) BEST NEWCOMER Ricky Norwood (Fatboy, EE) WORST NEWCOMER Erin Mullally (Declan, Neighbours) BEST RECAST Jordy Lucas (Summer, Neighbours) WORST RECAST Should be obvious by now - Erin Mullally! BEST STORYLINE Keiran (played by Adam Rickitt) runs over Morgan, frames Rachel McKenna (a verteran character with a big drinking problem) and just when it looks like he's about to be caught, his brother confesses to the crime instead! on Shortland Street. WORST STORYLINE Anything to do with Penn on Home and Away BEST CHARACTER Marilyn, Home and Away WORST CHARACTER Ruby, Home and Away MOST IMPROVED CHARACTER Sally Webster (even though I'm 16 months beind Corrie, I watched the tram crash and as JamesF says there's a renewed energy and confidence in Sally Dyvenor that has improved the character. MOST UNDERUSED CHARACTER BEST COUPLE Ricky and Bianca (EE) WORST COUPLE Kevin and Molly, Corrie. BEST VILLAIN Paul Robinson, Neighbours WORST VILLAIN Penn, H&A DISASTER OF THE YEAR Tram Crash, Corrie MESSIEST DISASTER Ringo's death, Neighbours - It was contrived and rushed mess, though saved in the second half of the episode by some excellent performances by Carla Bonner (Steph) and Margot Robbie (Donna). BEST DECISION MADE BY A SOAP Vera ushers Jack into the afterlife on Corrie (if anyone's going to come back from the other side an nag her husband to death, it's Vera) MOST OVERUSED PLOT DEVICE Baby Rabies (I love that term but hate hate hate that the affliction has taken over so many of soap's proudest women!) Jane had it, Ronnie has it. Becky has a slightly different version. Heck, Dan on Neighbours had it last year which sorta led to this year's plot with Steph (who had a rather peculiar form of 'I don't want my baby' rabies. Enough already.

Members Ramsay Street Rules Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Here are my choices: BEST SHOW - Neighbours - back on form after a rocky few years WORST SHOW - Coronation Street - horrible storylines and very unsympathetic characters MOST IMPROVED SHOW - Neighbours BEST ACTOR - Alan Fletcher (Karl, Neighbours) - very underrated performer who is enchanting to watch BEST ACTRESS - Lindsey Coulsen (Carol, Eastenders)- magnificent performances WORST ACTOR - Jimmi Harkishin (Dev, Coronation Street) - beyond parody WORST ACTRESS - Katherine Kelly (Becky, Coronation Street) - awful to watch BEST CHARACTER - Susan, Neighbours MOST UNDERUSED CHARACTER: Pat, Eastenders WORST CHARACTER - Marlon, Emmerdale BEST COUPLE - Karl and Susan,Neighbours - fabulous actors and always believable. WORST COUPLE - Steve and Becky, Coronation Street BEST STORYLINE - Who pushed Paul Robinson?, Neighbours - an excellent example of umbrella storytelling. WORST STORYLINE - Tram Crash, Coronation Street - unintentional comedy and lousy special effects MOST OVERUSED PLOT DEVICE - Implausible affairs - where actors have no chemistry and the affair is solely for shock value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
