Your Corrie heroes and villains of the week

I enjoyed posing this question so much last week I've decided to do it again! Your feedback did provide a very entertaining distraction from the perils of Countryfile, although I found myself strangely disappointed that Matt Baker didn't appear. Am I coming over to the dark side?! Anyway, back to Corrie...

So here goes. If you had to pick one Coronation Street character who you particularly love at the moment and one you particularly hate, who would they be? Only one each please, and remember I am asking for characters, not actors! 

The past week has been a difficult one to judge for me. I think my hero(ine) of the week may be a surprising and possibly controversial choice! Yes, this week I'm praising Tina McIntyre. Bet you never saw that one coming! I'm no real fan of over-exposed Tina, however this week her strident defence and support of Tyrone has impressed me. I may be feeling particularly strongly about this as it comes in contrast to that witches coven of Sally, Eileen and Julie. Just how stupid can those women be?! Ok, don't answer that!! Anyway, they are getting on my nerves and I hope they come to their senses soon.

Which brings me to my villain of the week. No, I'm not going for Kirsty Soames. Yes, she is a complete horror and I can't wait for her to get what's coming to her. However Natalie Gumede's performances have been terrific and I couldn't help but feel for her once she realised Ruby had been taken. 

My villain this week is Nasty Norris Cole. I am totally sick of him. I wish Rita would hurry up and stick a cork in his gob! Norris was always a gossip, quick to judge other people, but he was never the thoroughly unpleasant character he has become today. He now has no redeeming qualities whatsoever as far as I can see. He held court in the Rovers on Friday night without a good word for anybody. Even Blanche had a compassionate side. I think Norris needs to come face to face with his own mortality and either shape up or ship out!

So let's have your Corrie hero(ine) and villain(ess) from the past week in Weatherfield. And if anyone compares me to that Ginger Farmer in Countryfile, I won't be responsible for my actions!
