I'd say Becky,although I tuned in a little in the early 00s,and thought some of the Tracy/Karen scenes were good,especially their climatic fight

Tracy/Becky seemed like a rehash excluding some scenes. I'm going with Karen.

tracy vs karen.

i only really liked the climax and final chapter (tracy framing becky and becky's revenge) of tracy vs becky, the rest seemed to just be a rehash of tracy vs karen.

What I really liked about Tracy and Steve's wedding was that it had a feel of Steve and Karen's wedding to it, the only difference being that it didn't kick off until the reception . It was like a case of what goes around comes around, Tracy had ruined Karen's wedding and now hers seemed to be about to be ruined in a similar style.

But yes I agree a lot of the Steve and Becky stuff was a rehash of Steve and Karen. I can't choose which I liked best though because I think both Karen and Becky were great characters for different reasons.

Becky was a complete copy-cat imitation of Karen. Becky had an almost identical personality and they even went down the route of making her unable to have kids - exactly like Karen.

Tracy vs Karen..how can anyone forget the day Karen stormed into Amy's Christening and almost took out Tracy's eye with a stiletto. Best moment ever in Corrie...

they may have been similar in terms of their tempers and not having kids, but i think they're two completely different characters.
i'm pretty sure there are other people who'd agree with me too.

I disagree, Becky was a completely different character and dare I say a far more complex one. I found her character arc far more compelling and her exit was far more triumphant than Karen's.

You're right that a lot of elements were rehashed although Becky's struggle to have children was far more poignant for me, and they did a lot more with Becky's story than they did with Karen.

But I do agree that Karen and Tracy's feud was much better.

I swear they probably just dug out some of the old scripts between Steve, Karen and Tracy, dusted them off and gave them to Katherine Kelly to perform. Simon Gregson and Kate Ford probably didn't even need to learn their lines!

Karen and Tracy, Karen freaked me out with her outburst and I was genuinely scared for Tracy and Amy.

Karen always flew off the handle any time Steve had any contact with Tracy, whereas Becky wasn't happy but it was usually just sarcastic comments. I remember when Steve rang Karen from the gameshow as a phone a friend and she got the answer right, which won the Barlows the car, and she claimed the car was rightfully hers!!

Steve/Becky were a better match than Steve/Karen.

Karen. She would batter Tracy every now and then.

I liked Becky as a character and on the whole loved her exit episodes, but the Karen/Tracy feud was much better. One aspect that I think was better with Becky though was the unable to have kids angle, which seemed more like a vital part of Becky's characterisation than Karen's, which in that case on the whole just seemed to be written in as ammo for Tracy.
