In Celebration of the 60's DVD release - Your Favourite Coronation Street Legend
Tomorrow marks the release of the Coronation Street 60's DVD release and to mark it, I'm starting a very special series of Your Favourite Character - Celerating those long-standing members of the cast who have earned legendary status.
The rules to qualify are simple, characters have to have been in the show for at least 10 years or more. This is a risky one as current characters have much more of an advantage than past ones but hopefully such amazing characters as the Ogdens will not be forgotten. There are 48 characters competing so I have split them into 5 groups of 9/10. All you have to do is pick the 3 that stood out most for you as 'Legends'. Two characters from each group will go through to the final - The first group is below. Group One Betty Williams Billy Walker Derek Wilton Elsie Tanner Ivy Brennan Len Fairclough Norris Cole Percy Sugden Sally Webster Valerie Barlow Please vote for your 3 favourites. Voting will close next Sunday. Key dates for Group 1 - Taken from '40 Years of Coronation Street' by Daran Little 09/12/60 - Elsie Tanner makes her first appearance in the first episode. 27/01/61 - Billy Walker's first appearance. 02/02/61 - Len Fairclough's first appearance. 07/08/61 - Valerie Tatlock's first appearance. 06/08/62 - Valerie Tatlock marries Ken Barlow. 04/09/67 - Elsie Tanner marries Steve Tanner. 28/09/68 - Elsie's husband Steve Tanner is murdered. 02/06/69 - Betty Turpin's first appearance. 22/07/70 - Elsie Tanner marries Alan Howard. 21/01/71 - Valerie Barlow dies. 14/06/71 - Ivy Tilsley's first appearance. 08/08/73 - Elsie Tanner leaves the Street. 25/02/74 - Betty's husband Cyril Turpin dies. 23/02/76 - Derek Wilton's first appearance. 05/04/76 - Elsie Tanner returns to the Street. 20/04/77 - Len Farclough marries Rita Littlewood. 11/05/83 - Len Fairclough leaves the Street. 22/08/83 - Percy Sugden's first appearance. 07/12/83 - Len Fairclough dies. 04/01/84 - Elsie Tanner leaves the Street for the final time. 27/01/86 - Sally Seddon's first appearance. 26/09/86 - Patricia Phoenix (Elsie) dies. 08/10/86 - Sally Seddon marries Kevin Webster. 13/06/88 - Ivy Tilsley marries Don Brennan. 09/11/88 - Derek Wilton marries Mavis Riley. 15/02/89 - Ivy's son, Brian Tilsley, dies. 24/12/90 - Sally gives birth to a girl, Rosie. 28/03/94 - Ivy Brennan leaves the Street 04/11/94 - Sally gives birth to another girl, Sophie. 23/08/95 - Ivy Brennan dies. 07/04/97 - Derek Wilton dies. 20/10/97 - Percy Sugden leaves the Street. 03/11/97 - Betty's husband, Billy, dies. |
