1970s and Crossroads. It was Meg Mortimer.

EEAS1997 · 21/04/14 - 17:29

I don't know why, but even to this day, my favourite Corrie character has been David Platt

Andybear · 21/04/14 - 17:31

1970s, Crossroads - David Hunter. I was about 6 and had a massive crush on him, even at that young age!

In corrie since when I started watching until present day my favourite two characters are; Steve and David

Keyser_Soze1 · 21/04/14 - 19:47

Den Watts.

The biggest male character in Eastenders history.

Ena Sharples.:kitty:

annielou · 21/04/14 - 20:04

I had a teenage crush on Terry Duckworth and Simon wicks in the mid 80s.

chitarivera · 21/04/14 - 20:16

Seth Armstrong, Grandad Pearson, Amos Brierley, Mr Wilkes and Joe Sugden in Emmerdale.

All of them sadly missed.

I liked the Dingles in ED & Seth and Betty. EastEnders was probably Pat.

I started watching in 1967

Heathyheath_ · 21/04/14 - 22:15

When I first started watching Eastenders my favourite character was a toss up between Johnny Allen who I found to be an incredibly cool bad guy, and, this is tough to admit out loud but the much maligned on here Alfie Moon. I also really liked Jake and was gutted to see him go in the fashion he did

doctorwhofancal · 21/04/14 - 22:27

Rita + Norris

Saw this thread earlier thought of all our big soaps racked my brains and couldn't think of anyone. Only occurred to me now after watching neighbours for first time in ages that Paul Robinson was my fav soap character and 1st crush way back in the 80's when my p friends were all swooning over the Donovan chap

Still fancy Stefan now hmmmmmmm
