It's gotten to be more like a northern version of 'The Eastenders'. Or, as I like to call it 'CSI Weatherfield'. But there are still some golden Corrie moments that keep me tuning in.

We've seen so many of the great cast members pass away - Liz, Bill Tarmey, Betty Driver, Jean Alexander. I actually cried when I heard Jean Alexander died. Hilda Ogden was, and still is, one of my all time favorite Corrie characters.
