I think it's worth noting that as of yesterday, Thelma Barlow is now the longest lived Coronation Street regular, surpassing Doris Speed who died in 1994 aged 95. Congratulations Thelma.

Sad to see that Julian Holloway has reportedly passed away.
The Carry on Films, specifically Doctor, Camping, and Khyber, were always on rotation in my household as a kid, even if I probably shouldn't have been watching them at that age.
RIP

I absolutely love that they got Malcolm Hebden to record a video for Sam Aston on Dancing on Ice. It's good to see that's he's still doing well.
I'm still never watching dancing on ice, though.

It's incredibly sad to hear that the fabulous Donald Pelmear has reportedly passed away aged 100. His role as Professor Rubeish in Doctor Who's 1973 serial The Time Warrior is iconic within fandom. RIP.

Really sad to hear that the brilliant Christopher Benjamin has reportedly passed away. Absolutely fabulous in all 3 of his Doctor Who outings, which for me are the highlight of his decades long career

Google seems to think that Gordon Rollings was shot dead in Palestine in the 1940s instead of surviving, living another 4 decades, and then dying of cancer in 1985.

Only just realised that Daisy's mum Christina's IRL brother is Ted Robbins of CBBC's The Slammer fame (and also Brendan in Corrie)

Day 29 - Favourite Battersby.
Toyah.
Incredibly underused these past few years (although she's been great in the past few episodes). Brilliant in both her stints, love her chemistry with Imran & Spider, and most importantly, with Leanne.

Day 24 - Favourite 2024 Storyline
Paul's MND. The sort of long-term story telling that only a show like Corrie can do. The perfect balance of comedy and drama. Specific shout out to Peter Ash and Jane Hazelgrove.

Day 18 - Favourite Friendship
Ken Barlow and Steve McDonald.
A decades old relationship that pretty much solely exists as a counter to Tracy's madness. Peaks are when they temporarily moved in together in 2012(ish) and the recent double dating.

The Bistro, although being honest, I don't really care about either, and both currently house a set of characters I currently don't care about.
