These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Coronation Street
Complete Monster: A number of villains over the years could qualify for this, but perhaps Alan Bradley, Jez Quigley and Charlie Stubbs take the cake (and all receiving a Karmic Death).
Creator's Pet: Sean Tully. Especially if you happen to be gay...
Ensemble Darkhorse: Richard Hillman is still fondly remembered as one of the greatest tv villains of all time, and it's going on a decade since he died trying to drown his family.
HSQ: The Joinery explosion/Tram crash in December 2010.
Jerk Sue: Janice Battersby, Sean Tully, Tracy Barlow.
Memetic Mutation: Granted, it was before the internet became as prominent, but the "Free The Weatherfield One" campaigns that sprung up across the U.K. after Deirdre Rachid (Presently Barlow) was falsely imprisoned.
Ascended Meme - You know a storylines successful, when the Prime Minister of the time comments about it in Parliament.
Stupid Evil: At least post-prison Tracy Barlow is almost incapable of carrying on a conversation without insulting the person she is talking to, even if she is hoping to manipulate them.
The Scrappy: Janice Battersby. There have been many more over the years, but most are either Rescued from the Scrappy Heap or written out, whereas Janice has remained for years despite the fan's dislike. Kevin's been getting very unlikeable too, in the current storylines.
Tear Jerker: Vera Duckworth's death, and the later death of her husband Jack.
This is of course a regular trope, but a particularly memorable occasion was a 1980's scene of fan favourite Hilda Ogden opening a parcel containing her recently deceased husband (and fellow fan favourite) Stan's glasses, and her subsequent breakdown into tears.
The 50th anniversery. Explosion, train crash, deaths, war flashbacks, fires, injuries. Holy. Fuck. This troper hated her mom watching this show for years, but damn, I bawled my eyes out.
