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.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
