I have written an article about 2011 in Coronation Street...here is the introduction. Please follow the link below to the full article and leave any comments

Here we are at the end of another year. The mince pies have been reduced to crumbs, the Christmas tree has turned from a symbol of festivity to a reminder of work to be done and we’re still recovering from the revelation that it wasn’t a good idea to let Aunty Brenda at the bottle of port.

But no matter how eventful our years have been, we can take comfort in the fact that we haven’t endured it on Coronation Street, whose residents have had a typically traumatic twelve months. With gambling addictions, rogue charity workers, cross dressers, hapless serial killers, car crashes, UFOs, infernos, fake weddings, heads stuck in railings, sledgehammer attacks, stolen fish, brutal rapes, miscarriages, robberies, jailings, on set births, jiltings, affairs, babies left at photoshoots, lesbian love triangles, homelessness, alcoholism, dodgy car-lifts, clingy policewomen, brain tumours, salon wars, pet deaths, drug dealers locked in fridges, rejected proposals, tram crash memorials, sackings, meltdowns and Dev, it’s been a horrific time on Coronation Street. But, as always the disasters have been lovingly interspersed with kitchen sink drama, unbeatable comedy, warm character driven moments and a real community feel. Here is a tongue in cheek reflection of 2011 on the cobbles.

That was a superb piece! I thoroughly enjoyed it and was laughing out loud for the majority!

I also love the blog pauseliveaction so it was a nice surprise to see the piece was for there

And re your revelations, was the "playing with fire" part with Sally, literal?

Looks like it shall be an interesting start to 2012

I really enjoyed reading that. I can't believe how fast this year has flown...seems like no time since John killed Joy and Peter jilted Leanne at the altar. I love Corrie.

Thanks for posting the blog and allowing me to relive the year for a few minutes!!!!

Ha, no, not in the most literal sense.
Glad you like the blog
