	I'm a Corrie fan Hilda and Stan were great, also Vera and Jack Ithink they should get rid of Dev, can't act to save his life! I usually watch it on Saturday cos I can't watch during the week cos I'm at work x

	Not particularly a favourite but I wonder what 'Elsie Tanner' would make of Coronation street now? She'd give Liz a run for her money. For one liners I loved Blanche she is so much missed. But Hilda and Stan were wonderful characters as was Vera.

	Blanche Hunt in Corrie because of her sensational one-liners. Could someone please get rid of Dev 'cos he's the worst actor I've ever seen. S x
