Corrie Weekly Awards for Nov. 30 - Dec. 4

Poison Ivy award: Gail was quite catty about Carla's proposal to Nick. She apologised. But she didn't mean it. Wonderful stuff.

Reverse Psychology Fail award: If David hadn't kept going on at Sarah, insisting she not drink too much in case she blabbed something, she probably wouldn't have got so drunk and she probably wouldn't have stumbled in front of Tim's van.

Takes one to know one award: Sarah might accuse David of doing what it takes for his own ends, but Sarah's just as capable of being that devious, too. She did steal the Milan job out from under David's nose, you may recall. Gail might be hanging on to lingering thoughts about Michael but she's right, Sally certainly clung to Kevin for years longer than she should have!

Gooseberry award: Is Faye jealous of Caitlyn because she's crushing on Craig or just because she wants to be Craig's only friend?

Face-Palm award: If Dee had Michael's mobile number, why didn't she just use that in the first place instead of calling the cab office?

Soppy Romantic Award: Nick. yes. I admit it. I had a tear in my eye.

Karaoke award: Sally singing "Walking in Memphis" at the kitchen table. Did a good job, too!

We All Fall Down award: Nobody can figure out how Sarah tumbled into the van even after they all pointed out how drunk she was. Kind of explains it right there, don't you think?


Phrase of Doom award: Nick for saying "Nothing's going to go wrong. Trust me"

Lines of the Week:
Kate to Carla "You're going to have to teach me how to death-glare one day!"
Carla "I survived the Barlows. I suppose I can survive the Platts."
Sally "Isn't it time you just let go of Michael? You might come across as a bit..." Gail "Kevin. That's all I'm saying..."
Audrey "Can you please stop talking about dead animals, it reminds me of something out of Stephen King"
Todd "It's good to know Michael's as good at getting things into people's houses as he was at getting them out"
Sally to Tim "The only dirty thing you're going to be doing this afternoon is my windows" (but she thought about something else, too!)
Carla about the Haberdasher's ball "It's so boring, paint watches *it* dry!"
Faye to Craig "If you were a girl you'd have told me by now and we'd be half way through sorting it out" (she's right!)
Gail "I'm sure if Carla saw a chance to nail him, she grabbed it with both hands"
Kylie to David "They seem to follow you around, accidents"
Audrey "That was very nice" Gail "I even managed to keep a straight face" (LOL!)

Corrie weekly awards for Nov. 23 - 27

Life of the Party award: "Bren Bren" apparently bores for England.

A Woman of all trades award: Now that's what we like to see...a woman (Erica) that knows how to use the business end of a drill!

You're new here award: Robert thinks his clashes with his own father, they getting on each other's nerves is anything at all similar to all the loss and tragedy Simon's had in his short life.

Pathetic Loser award: Jamie.

Sacrifice award: Steph called Jamie's bluff. He did it. But Luke is free from the blackmail *and* she had Jamie arrested!

Cat out of the bag award: Leanne finally admited what Simon's been doing and Luke finally admitted that Jamie was blackmailing him over Steph's photos.

San Weatherfield Fault award: I think Robert's discovering a very major fault under the foundations of what he thought was a reformed Tracy. (See the winning line of the week)

 
New View! We don't usually see Dev's living room from this angle, with the fireplace wall in the scene. The camera is usually shooting towards the couch from that wall.

Black or White award: In Tracy's world, things really are black or white. No shades of grey there. No compromise.

Soap cliche: Steph intended on lying to Andy about what's going on. Lies, lies and damned lies, they're a soap staple but they don't half wear me out.

Lines of the week: 

Winner: Robert to Tracy "Get out, you poisonous little bitch!" (OH!!!)
Tracy about Simon "I'm not having him shouting at my daughter. That's my job"
Tracy "Oh quick, Amy, go get your violin cause my heart's breaking here"
Mary about Dev "He's a charming if slightly delusional shopkeeper, not a serial killer"
Mary to Dev "I don't think Erica wants your hand upstairs or anywhere else, for that matter"
Ken to Tracy "When it comes to bad behaviour, I hardly think you can sit in judgement"
Gary "I'm swearing off women" (yeah, right)
Ken to Tracy "Amy runs rings round you. When she's not running rings round me"
Norris to Mary "You're like a walking Mills and Boon"
Leanne to Tracy "When it comes to self defence, you're a pro" and "I've been with Robert all day and he'd rather boil his own head than spend another second with you"
Mary to Norris "Reign in your rudeness, sweet cheeks"

Corrie weekly awards for Aug. 31 - Sept. 4

An abbreviated version this week as I didn't catch Friday's episodes and I'll be on holiday for a few weeks so you'll have to do without the awards for a bit.

Cute Quota for the week: Hope with her face painted. On come on, she *did* look 7 shades of cute!!!

Blushing Bride award: Sally's red faced in her wedding dress, not from a blush but from the effort to get out of the dress!

Friends with Benefits award: Now that Liz and Lloyd can agree that they aren't in it for a proper relationship, I think they're going to be in it for a bit of fun.

Gift Horse award: Kevin hated the bracelet Tim gave him. It was rather ugly.

Plot Device award: Nick left his wallet at Carla's and it's full of credit cards. Carla has a gambling habit. Do the Maths!

Doormat Award: Nick. Forgives Carla for stealing his money.

Lines of the week:Aidan to Tim "You're a window cleaner, right?" Sally "He's a Window Enhancement Executive" (Bwahahaha)
Gail about the shop from which Sally bought her dress "I bought one of mine there" (I bet she doesn't remember which one!)
 Kevin "I'm a mechanic, I'm not a ladies' flamin' maid!"
Tracy "Whoever started the fire, it was an accident anyway" (she's cracking)
Liz "A girl is entitled to feed her cravings every now and then"

Corrie Weekly Awards: Aug. 24 - 28

Xena award: Sally thinks shoulder pads make her feel like a warrior princess going into battle. She gets the fashion award, too. I liked her suit!

Musical ambiance: "Pick up the Pieces" on the juke in the pub when Erica is moaning about losing Nick.

Delusional award: Sally and Sean both for thinking Aidan was flirting with either of them. Actually, he was, but he didn't mean it!

Stag on a Mountaintop award: Robert and Aidan. Which made no sense. Tracy was the rude one, Robert was just trying to keep the peace not make moves on Carla. Contrived much?

Art gone Viral award: An art class was scheduled in a little back street community centre. 24 hours later there were so many people that wanted to take it that they had to turn some away? Really?

More Art Win: Craig's flowers were awesome. So was Mary's Grim Reaper with Nettles in its own way. Very Mary.

Guiltier than Thou: The more Carla sinks into misery, the guiltier Tracy feels.

Gang wars award: Callum threatened Tony revenge. But I think Tony's heavies could probably trump Callum's and then some. Callum might have used the finger of doom on Tony but he was begging a minute before and gasping for breath on the way out.

Turning point award: Todd has some some awful things but I wonder if this is the crisis that's going to make him pull his own life together.

Lines of the Week:
Gail "I'm standing in me kitchen drinking "cambridge's"(?) talking about gangsters and guns"
Tony "I look after my own" Eileen "When it suits you" (Ow.)
Sally "I like a substantial shoulder. It makes me feel like Boudicca going into battle"
Carla to Nick "You like having a car crash girlfriend?" (yes, actually, I think he does)
Steve "It's like leaving the monkeys in charge of the bananas!" Lloyd "You getting a monkey??"
Liz (about the dog) "How does she cross all them roads?" Steve "Maybe she takes the bus"
Lloyd "I'm funnier than Nick Tilsley" (I agree. Nick is not one i would call a laugh-a-minute)
Gail about Bethany "How can she be so stupid?" Nick "The question is, how can Callum be so smart?"
Lloyd to Steve "If you ever turn up here in a pink dress or a string of pearls, you and me are finished!"
Tony "I don't need people poking their nose into my business" (then don't talk about your business in a pub)
Cathy "They would have spotted I was a fake faster than the Mona Lisa in a top hat"
Lloyd "I'm trapped!"
Mary "For me, cut flowers are synonymous with death. And betrayal"

Corrie Weekly Awards for Aug. 17 - 21

Truth Hurts award: Tod overheard his mother compare her sons and say that Jason turned out to be the better man and son. It hurt. But I also think Todd knew the truth of it. Consequences and all that. Will this sort him out or will he just use it as yet another excuse against them all?

Optimistic award: Tyrone thought he could put a tent together without instructions because he's a fully qualified mechanic. You know what happens next.

First Love award: Craig and Caitlyn under a tree!!!

Knight in Shining Armour: Jason, even if he was struck down in battle.

Hero Worship award: Max is even dressing like a little thug with hanging down braces (suspenders?) and a baseball cap. But he also gets the Bubble Burst award after seeing what Callum did to Jason. Here's a question, do you think Jason actually saw Callum or was he already down before Callum added his boots to the equation? Then it's Max's word against Callum's again.

Mountain Goat award: Sinead only dropped the crutches a couple of days ago and now she's hiking through the forest? Miracle!

Heartbreak award: Erica might be handling the Nick and Carla thing like a trooper, but she's hurting a lot more than she let on to him.

Lines of the week
Tyrone "I'm a fully qualified mechanic. I just look at the parts and I see how to put them together." (ahem)
Dougie "I love the way camping brings everyone together!"
Beth after Dougie's sad story about the deer "I don't know about you but I could eat a horse" (snort)
Carla "Some dreams fly. Some plummet"
Tyrone "We'll be five minutes away from the campsite. What could go wrong?" (what, indeed)
Chesney about Dougie "Either that or he'll turn into John Rambo and kill small boar with his bare hands" Kirk "Do you get wild boar in Wales?" Craig "No, you just get wale bored!" (Nice one!)
Sinead "A trip without snags is like a meal without salt"
Starving Tyrone "You didn't even save us so much as a Hula Hoop!"
Craig "I hate my face! I don't look in mirrors. I don't take selfies. I shut my eyes when I go to the barbers." (aww!)
Craig "My mum reckons it's her job to be the Wind Beneath My Wings" Caitlyn "That's dead sweet" Craig "You haven't heard her sing"
Caitlyn about her father "He'll never understand what we have!" (typical teenage proclamation! Aren't Caitlyn and Craig sweet together!)
Alya to Sally "Maturity...that's another word for OLD isn't it?"
Carla to Sally "You're more than capable, you're just not insane enough"

Corrie Weekly awards, Aug. 10 - 14

Panto award: A Classic case of the wrong end of the stick. "Luke doesn't suspect a thing" with Luke's sister? Oh, She's behind you!

Contrived Cliche award: See above, and also see Lloyd answering Andrea's phone so that he could find out about what she'd done. My most hated of all the hated cliches.

Guilt Money: Tracy offered to pay 200 quid for a box full of second hand books and dvds that belonged to Maddie.

Skivvy award: Tracy's making Amy do housework! But to be fair, she's the right age to be taught how to do it. It's only too bad Tracy refused to learn herself!

Phrase of Doom award: Tracy "This isn't just a fling. I reckon we can really make this work this time" and "This time, it's forever"

Gurn-o-matic award: Steve's gurns are infamous but even more so when he's trying to cover up something, in this case, that Rover has indeed returned.

Taking Liberties award: Ever since Tracy and Robert got together, she's in and out of that tiny restaurant kitchen causing interruptions yet neither Nick nor Leanne ever seems to catch her at it.

Dab hand award: Maria told Steph, sarcastically, that she had no idea how to keep a man. Well, actually, Maria's not very good at it, is she? Last person to give someone advice on keeping a fella. 

Slippery Slope award: Simon's sliding, not just the alcohol incident, but he's violent, he's manipulating Leanne and he's not getting the help he desperately needs.

Lines of the week:
Amy "More like 'treat your daughter like a servant' month!"
Tracy "You can tell Robert to stick his specials where a monkey sticks its nuts" (that would be no to the free lunch, then?)
Steve "what's more important? A load of old vinyl or your girlfriend?" Lloyd "Don't be stupid. Those records are me life! Joking!" (ah, but are you?)
Tracy to Robert "So, you're good in bread, and all?"
Rita about Norris "Forgot his name. Complete memory blank. Like I never met him. Mind you, that could be wishful thinking"
Sally to Anna "Kirk's a man of few words and you, you talk a lot" (a LOT)
Luke "I'm a man. With mouse like tendencies" (and that's why I like Luke!)
Andrea "You got a WiFi password?" Steve "Yeah. Traitor123"
Amy "You know when you said mom was being nice because she wanted something? Was it 'weird nice' like she's doing now?"
Tracy "We were made for each other. This time it's forever" (virtually assuring it'll blow up in her face)
