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.
