Anyone who's read Corrieblog for very long will know all about my - sadly unrequited - true love thang for Rob James-Collier (Liam), officially the World's Third Most Beautiful Man (after Keanu Reeves and Damon Albarn).
But several years ago there was a man on Corrie who made my heart beat just that little bit faster. Ok, so he didn't play the nicest character who's ever lived at number six Coronation Street (there's a clue), but the ways of the heart are strange indeed. Click the continue reading link to find out his identity - and my secret love will be no secret any more.
It's only Tommy Harris! I could have cried when that Katy hit him with a wrench. The actor who played him, Thomas Craig, is pictured here in all his ginger glory with Sarah Lancashire, when they appeared together in Where the Heart Is. I have no idea why they're wet.
So now I've confessed everything, it's your turn - who's your secret Corrie crush?

I really fancy Blanche.
#1 would have to be Kevin Webster. He's very masculine, yet also sensitive. He seems so real. I also love his sense of humor. There are also some other reasons that were a bit more prominent in his earlier wardrobe years than they are now.
#2 Ashley. He has such beautiful eyes and such a nice smile. When his voice breaks, I feel the most sorry for him.
#3 Elsie Tanner. She was just pure sex appeal.
Oh, I can see why you felt that way about Tommy. He had that earthiness about him. The red hair helps too (my favorite Corrie character of all time, Jerry Booth, had that gorgeous red hair).
Really??? I would have to say i thought Bill Ward aka Charlie Stubbs was quite a hottie. Too bad his character was an utter pig. I adored Bet Gilroy's trucker boyfriend, Charlie Whelan, as well.
Carl - I knew you would understand! [Sue H]
I have to say Rita (she still has something about her even though she's 75) Maria, Becky and Frankie.
1. Kieran!!!
2. Liam
3. Charlie
But I must admit that Tommy had his charms...
Kevin Webster, absolutely!! When I started watching CS in the early 80's I had a heck of a time understanding him and had to replay his scenes several times - at least that's my excuse. Along with Tvor, I thought you were talking about Charlie Stubbs Sue. Charlie Whelan, oh yaaaa !!!
Pearl... both Charlies!
I am with you about Liam(sigh)!!I am old enough to be his grandmother,never mind his mother but I have dreamt about him many times and woken up with a smile on my face!!
Right now,I am making the most of my favourite man,Liam,while he is still on the show here in Canada! I shall be shattered when he finally leaves the Street.It just won't be the same without that gorgeous guy!!
It has to be the two Charlies - Whelan & Stubbs.I loved them both. Mm, Tommy Harris, have to think about that! In Canada we've been seeing him in a Victorian drama set in Toronto called Murdoch Mysteries.
Liam, all the way!
Lovely post! You should have slow news days more often if it spurs on original creative posts like this, great stuff.
tyrone! he's so cute..
Just loved Chris the mechanic who dated Sally for awhile. She sent him away - Sally what were you thinking
what the fudge has happened to rob james collier? Do u have any news on him like job wise? Im guessing he's unemployed n on the dole!! haha
Steve
...ahh and Danny Baldwin too.
kaeligha - I think RJC is having a little rest! As soon as we have any news on him we'll put it on Corrieblog, if only to give me an excuse to put another photo of him up (oh I'm sad, I really am). [Sue H]
Tony Gordon!! Shame he's a murderer but I suppose you can't have everything!!
Kieran
Liam
Charlie S
STEVE! And deserving honorable mention in this Canadian heart, Danny Baldwin, Mike Baldwin, Kieran, and strangely, Ken Barlow!
Dee - I know what you mean about Ken Barlow. He has a certain something! And he was beautiful when he was young (like his son Linus is now). [Sue H]
I always thought Jez Quigley was an attractive bloke - pity he was a wrong 'un.
Tony...mr.handsome.
Liam Connor
Craig Harris
Adam Baldwin
I absolutely loved Liam everytime he came on the screen I was like oh my god! I've even had atleast 3 dreams about him where I've told him I love him ha! Even though hes like 30-something and Im only 14!!
Adam's accent was like to die for! and he was gorgeous!
Craig, well he was gorgeous.
Miss all of these characters :(
My Corrie Crush For the Past YEAR Now Has Been Ben Thompson Who Plays Ryan Connor! He Is Such A Cutie!
Shame We Don't See Him Too Often Though :(
