Over 500 Corrie fans cast their votes in our poll and the results are announced as follows:
129 (24.48%) voted for Betty while 126 (23.91%) voted for Bet.
Becky Granger came in third place with 93 votes (17.65%).
Raquel Wolstenhulme came in fourth with 53 votes (10.6%).
Liz McDonald was in fifth place with 38 votes (7.21%) while Tina McIntyre wasn't far behind with 37 votes (7.02%).
Michelle Connor was in seventh place with 17 votes (3.23%) with Shelley Unwin receiving 16 votes (3.04%).
Gloria Todd was in ninth place with 6 votes (1.14%).
11 voters opted to choose their own favourite barmaids with Geena Gregory, Sally Webster, Stella Price and Tanya Pooley receiving 2 votes each, while the remainder of the 'other' votes went to Tracy Barlow, Sunita Alahan and Irma Barlow.
It was a close call, but I'm happy that Betty has won the poll. She's the longest serving barmaid and she created the famous hotpot. She was a loyal member of the Rovers staff and is much missed behind the bar.
Are you glad that Betty came out on top? Or do you think that the accolade should be given to Bet Lynch? Or to any other barmaid? Let's hear your thoughts!
