Would we be treating a younger Gail, Deirdre, Audrey, Kevin and Sally with the same contempt as we do Kirk, Fiz, Sean, Michelle etc ?

We forget that these guys are the new generation of "oldies" and one day Fiz will morph into Rita.

Clearly you don't know your Corrie.
Go watch some 1970s Rita on YouTube and let me know how that compares with Fizzie.

It would be hilarious. Elsie tanner would be loathed and despised.

ITV has Coronation Street so the BBC need a flagship soap of their own.

'Is Ken Barlow past his sell by date'

'Get rid of the crap new Welsh family in the corner shop!! The father's a drip, the Granny's OTT, the mother (Kathy Staff) will never be an actress, the only one I have any time for is the daughter & that's only cos she's fit!!' (The Hopkins family) .... notice any similarities?

'Must Hilda Ogden & Elsie Tanner always scream at each other like a couple of fishwives'

'Is anyone else sick of Annie Walker's holier than thou attitude in the Rover's - time to get rid?'

'Who is that horrendous drippy woman that's with Rita in the Kabin now, get rid quickly!'


Not my personal opinions (well apart from possibly Mavis) but a few more possible examples!!
Actually this is a good fun thread! Cheers OP!!

Best Looking Soap Character 1975 - Semi Final 2
Thanks for all the votes in the past round, the most this year I believe! These are the results of the first Semi Final.

Ken, Gail and Deirdre were leaders right from the beginning, but Gail looked set to beat Ken at one point. Bet, Tricia & Rita just miss out on a place in the Final 18. At the other end at the spectrum, characters like Mavis and Len never really garnered enough support to fight for a place.

1. Ken Barlow (Coronation Street) - 6.53%
2. Gail Potter (Coronation Street) - 6.29%
3. Deirdre Hunt (Coronation Street) - 5.81%

New soap Emmerdale Farm is so much better. I can't get enough of it! Crossroads is alright but Corrie's better than that. I do think Corrie's gone down hill since Dennis Tanner left though. Elsie's boring without him.

No, because they had decent stories, we're played by good actors and didn't annoy the viewers most of the time.

Trust me, I was watching reguarly from about 78 and have seen loads of old episode on dvd.

If Fiz, Sean and Michelle are the characters that stick around for 30 years the Lord help us. David, Kylie, steph, Maria, even Sophie and Maddy i have no issue with. I don't really mind Kirk, Chesney, Sinead, Beth, Tracy, Katy etc either.
