Looks like Rob James Collier is on a new ITV primetime period drama, Downton Abbey. I'd wondered what had happened to him since he left Corrie.

It's a shame that he left Corrie, or perhaps more of a shame that he spent most of his time there in that mindnumbing relationship with Maria.

The Coronation Street Wiki has started their countdown for the show's 50 best characters. This was a fan survey, anyone could answer. I think I found out about like a day before the deadline. I tried to grade generously towards a lot of the past characters, as I want some of them to make it with the likes of Graeme or Maria. So far the first two have been announced.

Who do I want to be #1? Annie Walker. If not her then Elsie Tanner.

Not really expecting it though.

Looks like Rosie Webster is #48. She doesn't deserve to be on the list, IMO, but since she has become such a prominent part in recent years, and is so well known, I'm not surprised. She deserves it more than some recent cast members who will be on there.

People I am not expecting to be on there but will be absolutely thrilled to see:

Jerry Booth

Ray Langton

Florrie Lindley

Irma Ogden

Harry and Concepta Hewitt

I think Ray would make it if it wasn't a fan-voted thing, but we shall see. As long as Bet and Annie are in the top ten, I'm good. I'm sure the top ten'll include the likes of Ken, Dierdre, Gail, Hilda, possibly Bet, Elsie, Annie. Tony being so low is sort of a good sign, even though I kinda liked Tony before he went nuts.

I definitely think that at least Ken, Elsie and Bet and Hilda will be in the top ten; I'm not sure about the others. Deirdre is not overly popular and a lot of people seem to hate Gail. I think we will see some more recent names place much higher than they should. It's a shame that some people I thought could be legends, like Carla, petered out over the last few years. They clearly have no idea what to do with her, and haven't in a long time.

I really hope Emily somehow cracks the top ten.

I think Blanche and Betty might be in there too, or close.

Ray was a wonderful character and it's a shame more people have not seen just what a complicated and most of all funny character he was. Deirdre has never been the same without him.

    • I dont understand the motivation behind it. Eva is her link to Ted and the Duprees and without her, she has nothing. It would have served better for Eva to be all fed up with her and leave the house on her own and Leslie try to make amends bc she needs her for this comeup she's been talking about. Eva can repair her relationship with Ted and maybe build something with the Duprees and cut her out
    • So good today Dante is overreacting blaming gio Hopefully Danny will come clean
    • Not mad at Leslie Locking Eva out, I think it's important for the audience to see her on her own for a while. Curious how scrappy and savvy she becomes on her own. Yeah, I am with you there. It feels a bit hollow; maybe if she was talking to Martin and Kat I would feel better about it. There must be more to this story. Daphnee and Ambyr owned this episode. Tugging my heart in every scene. Nicole process hurt and anger much differently than Dani though.
    • I also really enjoyed Eva's scenes with Kat today. They have an interesting chemistry. I thought it really did feel a bit like sisters at conflict. Especially with the way that Eva was trying to convince Kat to forgive Ted and them both coming to the conclusion that the man they thought was their father was different wasn't who they really thought he was initially. And the way that Eva broke down when Kat said that she was dead to her was emotional stuff. I really do think that in spite of their conflict/bickering Eva really would have loved to have gained a sister, along with a brother, father, etc... Also, I thought it was interesting how Eva kept saying that she loves Ted and Nicole. That and Leslie mentioning that Kat/Eva are almost twins really does make me wonder if Kat may really be her twin and Nicole's as well. I would gladly welcome that outcome, even if it takes a while for it to come out. At this point Leslie doesn't deserve Eva as a daughter as far as I'm concerned. And I would forward to a storyline where we found out that she's Nicole's second baby girl, and all the complex and ultimately happy feelings that would bring Nicole. Eva/Kat could still have a rivalry, especially if Nicole ended up doing some more bonding with Eva. And then we could get the rest of the family's reaction to that as well.

        What you NOT gonna do to me!
    • Bravo to every single person responsible for today's episode. From the writer on down to Kraft services. Yall I'm getting emotional but I wish my granny was here to have seen this soap since she was the one to introduce me to this medium.

    • Everything is fraught with confusion. Why is Leslie pleading with the Duprees to accept Eva? She's not biological family so what is this? She's the product of an affair with their in-law so Leslie wants them to accept her? I'm getting GOOD TIMES vibes of Leslie and Eva minus the physical abuse.
    • Big fan of today's writing. In particular, I like EJ complexity, crying over Johnny and conspiring at the same is tough to pull off in the same episode, but it goes very far in explaining EJ's motives. I don't hate the idea of Cat and EJ, and I especially appreciate everyone trying to warn her, but she is sticking to the plan. Boy oh boy, when Brandon Beemer wears a shirt that matches his eyes, I get lost in the screen!
