Mr Tabley, Jerry Booth's solicitor. He helped Jez divorce Myra in 1968. Tapley was a legend and the best ever character. A total leg end of epic proportions, more legendary than Ena, Elsie and Hilda. Mark my words.

I`m with Lou 100% on this....definitely Fred. I say, definitely Fred. I still laugh in that scene where he looks at a baby in the pram, and with his not so dulcet tones bellowed "ello little babeh" and made the poor tot cry LOL The second best is Betty Turpin. I know she married Billy Williams, but she will always be Betty Turpin to me. Third best is Emily Bishop. What a legend.

Seriously though I think Stan Ogden, Fred Elliott and Elsie Tanner are the best 3 ever characters IMHO.
Stan Ogden and Fred Elliott were the best 2 men in the show ever.
The arrival of the Battersbollock family in 1997 was a dent for the show but it was still infinitely better than modern day Corrie.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Eddie Yeats, another ladies' man.
He was always leading Stanley astray with his madcap ideas, like when they tried to brew ale in Mrs O's bath with corn flakes.
Very good looking bloke too, although I think he was also responsible for introducing Curly to the street, who worked on the bins with him. So that is a massive stain on his character unfortunately. Curly was a twat. Eddie did us a real wrong there.
I loathed Betty Turpin too, she thought she was hard as nails behind that bar. Always with her glib put-downs. It was a wonder nobody chinned her. She had no business even being behind there, she never had her knockers on show. A barmaid is required by law to show us the goods.

Betty was never a secret landlady, she was just a barmaid. Bet was the proper landlady.
Betty was quite fierce and quite pushy and dogmatic.
Porkface Tully keeps promoting her hotpot.

Yeah Turpin had a real chip on her shoulder, the odd thick ear wouldn't have done her no harm whatsoever.
The moley old bag thought she invented beef stew.
Next time I go into the Rovers I'm going to draw a moustache and glasses on her hideous photo. And a swastika tattoo on her forehead.

Porkface could even steal the recipe and call it "Sean's Hotpot".
Betty acted like she was The Don Of The Rovers by chucking people out on their ear. She acted like The Don Of Weatherfield.

Now if we are talking King or Queen of the Rovers... Surely this guy deserves a mention as a complete Lej... No other than the main man himself... Vernon Tomlin everybody...

A proper man was Vernon. Vernon's never been known to fail in the bedroom. Never likely to be known.

He will always be Richard Cole to me, the dodgy sleazy market inspector in That Cockney Soap.

For me it is a no brainer, it has to be Ena Sharples played by the wonderful Violet Carson. It's hard to think they nearly wrote the character out of the show as they couldn't find an actress suitable to play the role. It was only when Tony Warren said they couldn't write the character out as she really was Florizel Street, that Warren reluctantly suggested Violet Carson for the role, as he was scared of her. He had worked with Carson as a child actor on Children's hour and the story goes, she threatened to smack his bottom. They later became great pals. Classic Ena and Elsie having a hum dinger.
