Top 30 Most Iconic Corrie Characters?
If you had to choose 30 characters, 15 women and 15 men that you consider as the most iconic/legendary/important characters in Corrie's long history which characters would you pick? They don't have to be characters you even liked or see as a favourite, just literally the most iconic. These are mine
01. Annie Walker 02. Ena Sharples 03. Elsie Tanner 04. Hilda Ogden 05. Bet Lynch 06. Vera Duckworth 07. Ivy Tilsley 08. Rita Fairclough 09. Audrey Roberts 10. Gail Platt 11. Deirdre Barlow 12. Blanche Hunt 13. Liz Mcdonald 14. Hayley Cropper 15. Eileen Grimshaw 01. Ken Barlow 02. Albert Tatlock 03. Len Fairclough 04. Alf Roberts 05. Stan Ogden 06. Jack Duckworth 07. Fred Gee 08. Mike Baldwin 09. Jim Mcdonald 10. Steve Mcdonald 11. Terry Duckworth 12. Alan Bradley 13. Richard Hillman 14. Roy Cropper 15. David Platt Of course there are many other characters like Mavis, Betty, Kevin, Sally. I just think these 30 are the ones that come into my mind above any others |

Coronation Street has always been all about the women, so thinking of 15 iconic men is much harder than thinking of 15 iconic women. I can rattle them off easily: Elsie, Ena, Hilda, Bet, Annie, Rita, Mavis, Betty, Audrey, Gail, Sally, Vera, Deirdre, Emily, Hayley.
Iconic men? Stan, Ken, Roy, Len, Alf, Jack and that's where I come to a halt Current female characters who have the potential to be iconic - Eva, Kylie, Carla, Beth, Mary |

Not a bad effort. I have made some adjustments. My changes are in bold and they are in no particular order. I have removed Platt because he is just a puny irritant. I have removed Hillman. He just wasn't in it long enough.
![]() I would have put all those you named on if i had space, i could have done a top 40 but i thought it might be going too far. I still believe Ivy has a place on the list but i agree Betty Turpin should be there as well
