Looking back at 12 months of Corrie: January 2012

(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog November 2012, reposted to this blog with permission.)

Now then, I'm no fan of end of year reviews but as a) it's not yet the end of the year and b) it's Coronation Street which I love, I thought I'd take a look back at this year month by month over the coming weeks in the run up to Christmas.

But rather than blog a synopsis of everything that happened (you can get that at the Corrie weekly updates website and our blogger Tvor's State of the Street for each month) what I'll do is write down my highlights and lowlights for each month of the year so far.  These are my own personal likes and dislikes for Corrie so do chip in with your own and remind me of anything I've missed that happened during each month too.

So here we go with the first one, for January 2012.  

Highlights

Sally Webster falling for freaky Frank Foster despite her knowing the rape rumours, and telling everyone: "I'm a good judge of character".  Oh, how we laughed. 

Frank's rape trial begins and the truth about Peter and Carla's bonk-fest comes out.

Tyrone and Kevin shake hands and start speaking to each other after months of being too hurt, too proud, too macho to forgive and forget.
 
Faye kills Owen's fish by chucking creosote in the fish pond, forcing Anna to realise she has more on her hands than she first thought with little FAYe. And more than she bargained for with Owen, who hits FAYe.

Steve and Tracy get married. Becky keeps tight-lipped at the ceremony but lets rip at the reception saying: "Revenge is all the more sweeter now he's chained to the cow." That's when she waves Tracy's medical records and drops the bombshell about Tracy losing the twins by falling down the stairs. 
  
Becky leaves and flies off to Barbados with Danny and his kid, leaving Max with Kylie.

Eileen becomes a carer for Paul's wife, Lesley who has early-onset Alzheimer's Disease.

Tyrone wonders why cop girlfriend Kirsty's always in a bad mood. It's too much for Tina, she moves out of No. 9, convinced that Kirsty is out to get her.

Milton arrives from America and takes a shine to Sylvia, much to Roy's surprise. "He actually appears to like her!" 

Lowlights 

Sunita starts work as a barmaid in the Rovers Return after handing in her notice to Dev in the Corner Shop. Sunita behind the bar just didn't work, did it?

Norris and Sylvia battling it out in the music competition at the Rovers Return. 

Steve splitting No. 13 in half with Tracy and Amy living upstairs and him downstairs.

Monthly count of people St Ella took through to the back room of the Rovers:  653
