Cobbleheads!

May is drawing to a close so now is the time to start thinking about your team for June’s Corrie Challenge game.

Don’t worry if you have played before. The game is a bit like a simplified version of Fantasy Football so if you fancy having a go just read the rules below. And, if you're an Emmerdale viewer you can play the Emmerdale version of the game. Just check out any of this week's "Emmerdaily" thread for instructions.

Anyway, it’s a very easy game to play. The object of the game is to pick a team of 11 characters from those listed below which you think will score the more points than the other people playing the game.

Once you’ve whittled your shortlist down to 11 characters you will then need to nominate one of them as Captain. This character will have their score doubled so you’re really looking to identify the character which you think will score the most points during the month to maximise your chances of winning.

Then, simply post your choices on the thread or send them to me via PM, and keep an eye out for the Monday Episode Thread to see how your “team” is doing in the score updates.

The scoring system works as follows:-

+ 1 point per episode appearance

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode before the break.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode after the break

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode.

+ 1 point for any kisses on the lips. If you have both characters who kiss in your team each character will receive a point.

+ 2 bonus points for any character that appears in 5 or more episodes during the week. In the event of any episodes being transmitted on a weekend the week will run from Monday to Sunday.

+ Remember that your team Captain gets their score doubled!!!

Once you’ve done all that you can also pick a name for your team. This will be listed in the Score Updates.


Your “Starting List” for June’s Corrie Challenge is as follows:-

Remember you need to select ELEVEN characters (including a captain) – no more, no less.

Hello Cobbleheads and thanks RK for the thread.

Is it sad as well as wrong that I'm beyond excited about Tina's demise this week?

Good evening all, it's my birthday today so please be gentle and kind.

Looking forward to BGT then Corrie week but no episodes Friday due to the football because we've not had nearly enough football recently and of course they'll be nothing on over the summer will there?

Catch you all later, the demise of the orange on, she'll be well and truly tangoed by this time next week

Also a huge congrats to David and Julie for their tremendous rewards at the soap awards. At least tango Tina won't get sexiest female next year, mind you they'll probably introduce a sexiest corpse award for her to win.

When Tina lands, will she splatter, and open up like a Terry's Chocolate Orange ?

We will discover in the Dawn.


The Tina Chocolate Orange comprises an orange coloured skin into many "segments", similar to a real orange, and wrapped in baby oil.

As the segments, when packaged, are stuck together firmly in the centre, the traditional method of getting ready to open them is: prior to unwrapping the Orange Maid, to tap it severely on a hard surface to cause the segments to separate from each other

Thanks for the thread and challenge RK.

Congrats MsW. (lucky the lady that's on top of me )

Happy birthday FM Lover.

I think we should play the Tina drinking game for the next week, I'm sure they'll get their money's worth. My money's still on ToeKnee.

I've been in self-imposed Corrie exile as well but might return for the big week.

At least that explains what Peter's been up to of late... tapping Tina with a hard surface...
