Think you can name the biggest storyline for every year in the past? i.e 2004 - Baby Drama or whatever. I'm interested.

Do you mean the biggest storyline of all the soaps for each year? Do you want opinions or is there a list somewhere?

Every year since 1960?

(NB the show only ran for about the last 3 weeks of 1960!)

Wow, some great storylines there, and some surprises too!

I'm surprised that Toyah's rape isn't on there as I remember that being quite a big storyline at the time, although I wasn't really watching Corrie then I stopped watching regularly in 2000, and only started watching regularly again in 2003 when the whole Richard thing culminated

As for 2004.....I'd say that the biggest storyline (so far) has either been Tracy/Karen/Steve/Roy/Hayley or Todd/Karl/Sarah.

2004 has been an amazing year.

Tracy/Karen/Steve/Roy/Hayley was brilliant.

The Gay Storyline was superb.

Mad Maya is great too.

Also, wheres the Bigamy storyline in there?

Which bigamy storyline? Shelley/Peter/Lucy?

I chose to omit that because, even though they were brilliant, most storylines durinf 2003 were still overshadowed by Richard Hillman.

Yeh I would agree, Richard outshone them all but how great was Corrie that year, The Culimination of Richard Hillman, Shelly/Peter/Lucy bigamy storyline Todd's first gay kiss with Nick Platt.

This year on Corrie has been fab I must say.

Steve and Karen's Wedding
Tracey/Roy/Hayley and the whole selling Amy fiasco.
Mad Maya

Loads of other stuff too. But I think the biggest storyline this year has been Sarah/Todd/Karl

Although 2004 is far from over yet and Maya/Dev/Sunita has not played itself out Todd/Karl/Sarah will be a good contender although I have heard that Maya is going to make things explosive in the coming weeks.

There also seems to be no end to the Karen/Amy/Tracy/Steve drama however I suspect everyone is waiting for Karen to lamp Tracy one soon baby or no baby.

She has gained the sympathy vote what with her mam dying and the factory girls and most of the nation are rallying around her at the moment.
