Mine -

BEST...
1. Michelle (brilliant - she will win 'best newcomer' at all the awards IMO)
2. Carla (potential to be the ultimate 'soap bitch')
3. Eileen (Love the dry sarcastic humour)
4. Steve (love the interaction with Eileen)
5. Becky (Great character, love watching her evolve)

WORST...
1. Sonny (vile, creepy, makes me feel sick)
2. Les (can't act)
3. Sarah Louise (spoilt brat)
4. Vernon (awful cringesome character)
5. Molly (pointless, underused character - would we notice if she went?)

BEST

Michelle Connor (fits right in and lights up the screen)
Rita Sullivan (for comedy value)
Becky Granger (for comedy value)
Molly Compton (underused, but I think has great potential)
Dierdre Barlow (has been great during the Tracyluv story)

WORST

Carla Connor (she bores me, hope she leaves with Paul)
Vernon (Liz could do so much better)
Sarah Platt (all her stories revolve around Jason)
TracyLuv (Good while it lasted, but time for her to go)
Kevin Webster (what does he do??)

What's the deal with the 6 Million Cast / Character Threads!

BEST

1. Hayley- Hayley is my absolute fave, I love her to bits! Really good at comedy and drama and I really care aout her.
2. Roy- same as above, but he's my second fave!
3. Blanche- need I say more...
4. Gail- Helen Worth is an asset to the show and always puts in a great performance.
5. Becky- Katherine Kelly has really made that character her own, she is fab and loveable as Becky, but still intrigues me, what is she capable of?

WORST

1. Danny Baldwin- I know not technically current, but he's just on a break. Like his nicknames but that was it. Hogged too many stories, got sick of him. Was always unconvinced by the performances of Bradley, not a fan.
2. Adam Barlow- However many dirty dreams I have about Sam Robertson, he is hot!!! I cannot forgive him for his acting, and his stories, i.e - none!
3. Sarah- Annoys me a bit!
4. Les- Could do without him, never managed to care one bit about him.
5. Dev- Never should have got rid of Sunita, he isn't needed now, however much material he gives Harry Hill.

BEST...
1. Michelle Connor (fab, has settled in really well, love the relationship between her and Steve)
2. Steve McDonald (love the relationship between him and Michelle, his facial expressions are priceless lol!)
3. David Platt (the only decent thing about the Tracy storyline, his attempts to get it on with Tracy are hilarious!)
4. Lloyd Mullaney (works really well at the cab office with Steve and Eileen, love the interactions between the three of them)
5. Eileen Grimshaw (wonderful character, the salt of the earth!)

WORST...
1. Sonny Dhillon (awful little creep, makes my skin crawl)
2. Sean Tully (selfish and disloyal, I wouldn't want him as a friend!)
3. Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford is a terrible actress IMO so she lets the character down)
4. Carla Connor (she showed promise at the start but now she's just boring and pointless)
5. Les Battersby-Brown (all that shouting of his lines does my head in!)

BEST
1. David Platt (brilliant character and probably the one with the most depth)
2. Sophie Webster (absolutley hilarious one-liners)
3. Steve McDonnald (again, one liners and great expressions)
4. Liam Connor (quirky and fun)
5. Gail Platt (she's just Gail isnt she? Great.)



WORST
1. Ryan Connor (cant talk properly, I cant understand a word he says, horrible face and just generally cant stand him)
2. Sonny Dhillon (cant act, no chemistry with Sean, slimy and highly unlikable)
3. Cilla Battersby (every scene she does is the same)
4. Sean Tully (is fine with the one-liners, but drives me mad when he has storylines of his own, eg. finding his dad and this sonny one)
5. Becky Granger (used to love her, she's grown boring for the same reasons as Sean)

!. Michelle - suprisingly excellent actress
2. Steve - really coming into his own now - so funny!
3. Tracie - great character and so pretty
4. sean- didn't like him at first but he's sweet
5. Eileen - another great character


1. Rita - the overacting is cringemaking
2.Hayley & Roy (well they are a double act)
3.Betty Turpin - turned up scowling behind the bar after months away - why????
4. Deidre -
5. Deidre's mum

Michelle is number one in 4 out of 6 of these lists!!!

YAY!!!!!!

1. Steve - Coming into his own. Always makes me laugh, love his facial expressions
2. Eileen - Great character and actress
3. Violet - Always had a soft spot for her
4. Sean - Same as above
5. Lloyd - He's really grown on me since hes come back


1. Sonny - Awful character, just dont like him
2. Adam - Boring character, bad actor
3. Les - Never really liked
4. Cilla - Was funny for a while, but now irritates me
5. Sarah - Annoys me

No offence to the OP, but why has this forum turned into a place with so many "Whos the best", "Whos the best Male", "Best Female" and endless variations of such for each soap

Its very tedious when trying to read the forum (or am I just being grumpy)

BEST

Michelle - she seems to have so much to offer
Eileen - brilliant potential
Blanche - for her one liners

Violet - a pleasant character to watch

Sarah - how whiney can she get?!
Ken - he's so boring

No you're not, I totally agree with you. These popularity threads are getting very tedious.
(and please, before anyone starts with the 'well don't read it if you don't like it' routine, I came in here to make my point!)

Best:

1, Blanche .... she makes me howl with laughter whenever she's on screen.
2, Steve ... love the guy. He's so funny.
3, Becky ... hated her at first but she's grown on me.
4, Lloyd ... ditto
5, Eileen ... very true to life.

Worst:

1, Sonny ... slimeball, a creep, makes my flesh crawl.
2, The Connors .... can't stand any of them, Carla and Michelle included.
3, Sean ... liked him at first but he's now worn thin.
4, Cilla ... what can I say?
5, Les .... nasty, horrible man.

Very hard to pick just 5...but these are mine at the moment in no particular order...
1. Rita Sullivan-great actress-pure excellence!
2.Michelle Connor-fits just right in
3. Fiz Brown-wonderful personality
4. Norris Cole-so funny
5. Steve MCDonald-capable of doing anything

5 worst...
1. Les Battersby-just shouts all the time-glad he's not my neighbour!
2. Janice Battersby-ditto!
3. Sonny Dhillon- :yawn:
4. Kelly Crabtree-annoying!
5. Liz McDonald-ditto!

Best in no order

Rita Sullivan ..........great actress always good for a laugh
Blanche Hunt...........great for the one liners
Steve McDonald..........he's brilliant at serious and comedy
David platt............plays the psycho so well
Gail Platt...........good character always acts well

Worst (in order)

Kelly Cra*tree...........annoying,ugly and poor actress
Janice Battersby...........loudmouth who's past her best
Yana Lumb...............the point is
Ryan Connor.........useless in the extreme.Hope the lad gets good GCSEs cos he's never going to make it as an actor
Liz McDonald...............should never have been given the Rovers

Best:
Norris - smashing character, always makes me laugh
Blanche - another smashing character, only need to look at her and i laugh
Tracy - the way she planned to murder chalie was excellent, really well acted
Michelle - shes made a big impact on me since she went full time, i hope to see her way into the future
Cilla - im sad shes leaving because i think shes a smashing bitch lol

Worst:
Dev - annoys the hell out of me the way he speaks and he deff can not act
Vernon - he is in a pointless position, ment to be funny but isnt, also cant act
Ashley - seems pointless, also worked best with fred but now hes gone hes crap
Adam barlow - pointless position, get rid
amy barlow - should be speaking by now but isnt....replace her or get rid..also isnt a natural performer

Ah , yes, Amy Barlow. I forgot about her when making my list. What a weird child she is. Never speaks, never moves, almost like a stuffed doll. Get rid of her and bring in someone with a little more life in them. If she were my kid I would be so worried by her behaviour.

Best
Eileen Grimshaw - A faultess character played by a brilliant, faultless actress who can do both drama and comedy brilliantly.

Rita Sullivan - The Queen of Corrie

Steve McDonald - Says the funniest things and pulls the most hilarious facial expressions. An absolute diamond of a character.

David Platt - Brilliant because nothing fazes or bothers him and love the way he isn't bothered by Tracy even though she's a killer. All I can say is I both look forward and dread what he's going to be like when he's older

Blanche Hunt - A toss up between her and Norris but had to go for Blanche for her one-liners. Blanche (and Norris) never fail to throw a bit of light on a terrible storyline.

Worst
Sarah Platt - See the "I Hate Sarah Platt" thread but was bearable tonight.

Kelly Crabtree - Irritating and pathetic played by an awful actress (good singer and nice enough woman though ) Time to go.

Joanne Jackson - Has absolutely nothing about her

Tracy Barlow - Would be a good character if it wasn't for the terrible actress Kate Ford, who only shows occasional moments of being good. Overused, overrated character and actress. Good riddance.

Liz McDonald - No purpose apart from mutton dressing as lamb. Beverley Callard plays herself. Time to go but keep Vernon
