Coronation Street: Difference between revisions

** Tina McIntyre! Having been voted Sexiest Female for 3 years in a row..

* [[My Local]]: The Rovers Return

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: Deliberately invoked with during the promotion of the show's fiftieth anniversary week, which was given the tagline "Four Funerals and a Wedding," implying that four major characters would bite the dust. As it turned out, ''three'' major characters actually did die, namely Ashley Peacock, Molly Dobbs and Charlotte Hoyle. The fourth casualty was a nameless background extra, who got mentioned in passing by a firefighter during the live episode.

* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: After fatally beating Charlotte Hoyle to death shortly before the tram crash, John Stape later decided to place her body near the crash site, hoping to make it look as if she had been struck and killed by debris during the crash. A policewoman found him, and he claimed to have dragged her out of the debris -- whereupon the policewoman examined her body and found that she wasn't actually dead. In a subversion of the trope, it turned out she had massive brain damage and would only have lived on in a vegetative state, resulting in her family deciding to pull the plug on her.
