CARLA CONNOR!!!!

12.69% (Round 4)

Well done to Carla for ranking 1st. Chuffed to bits for this one, she is my favourite coronation street current character and glad that digital spy share this with me. She has been AMAZING in 2010, especially with the storyline with Peter, she lights up every scene she's in and is played by a fantastic actress. so well done to Carla Connor!

1st Heat 3
1st Round 2 Heat 2
2nd Round 3
1st Round 4


Also Well done to Eileen Grimshaw who ranked 2nd place.

12.63% (Round 4)

Eileen did fantastically well and don't want to forget about her cos 2nd is a great achievement. I thought she was gonna win this as she came first in the top 15, but Carla ended up as the winner, despite just 2 votes seperating them in the final vote. Another Fantastic Corrie character, I know I've said this loads of times but again played by a fantastic actress who is great at comedy scenes but has also proved that she can do serious too. Well done Eileen for doing so well, have thoroughly enjoyed watching her in 2010, as I have with Carla and infact the whole Corrie Cast!

1st Heat 4
1st Round 2 Heat 4
1st Round 3
2nd Round 4


Thanks everyone for voting, hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have. Will do this again next year and see if Carla can keep top place or if some will knock her off

But for now goodnight!

Thanks for doing this. It's been great to see the results! For the most part I would say it's a fair representation too. Characters like John & Rosie would have been near the bottom a couple of years ago and so would Julie I think. Infact it's only in the last few weeks Julie has come into her own.

So glad Carla won it aswell. She is a fantastically complex character and works so well in the factory-much better than the other Connors/Danny Baldwin did and the relationship she has with the staff is as good as Mike Baldwin's I would say.

The one gripe I have is how high Claudia is and Anna Windass should be way above her. I also think Janice & Dev should be higher, although both have become background characters in recent years.

Well, flabber my gast. Can't believe Eileen placed above the god in human form that is Peter Barlow, much as I like her.

Well deserved win for Carla "Wonder Woman" Connor, I suppose. She is rather stupendous.

This is a really interesting read and I really like all the characters in the top ten (and Julie). So glad Carla won, she has always been my favourite character and would have voted for her if I actually realised this was being done. I love how every year she seems to get more and more popular.

so happy Carla won. She is the best character. Bit suprised at Eileen to be honest. Thought the top 3 would be Peter, Leanne (2nd and 3rd, not sure which order), and carla, 1st. Thought Eileen would be 4th.

Thanks for doing this, it was fun

Yay for Carla! It will be interesting to see if her popularity holds over for the next year, or if it's just her recent tragic plots that have garnered her a lot of temporary sympathy.

Can't say that the results have really surprised me too much. I knew Owen wasn't liked, but not nearly this much! You forget sometimes how big the cast is.

Yeh I can't wait to see nxt years as well and see how things change.
Look at Julie Carp. I am willing to bet 2 months ago she would have been around the bottom somewhere, and has gone up to 11th in just a few weeks. Goes to show how quickly things can change.
