Corrie's Jack's Death Scores Big Ratings

The death of Jack Duckworth and the reunion of him and Vera Duckworth pulled in massive ratings for Corrie on Monday Night.


11.64m watched Bill Tarmey's last episode which ended his 30 year run. His character Jack returned to his house after a birthday party for him in the Rovers. He sat in the very arm chair, his wife Vera died in nearly 3 years ago and passed away, but nor before Vera (Liz Dawn) returned one final time to take Jack to Heaven with her. 


It sounds cheesy and awful, but if you've watched these characters for as long as I have and really felt the emotion, it was done extremely well. 


The Duckworths will be missed on Corrie. 


Did you see it? What did you think?

AMC Renews The Walking Dead

AMC's new hit The Walking Dead has been renewed for a second season with only two episodes shown.

The show which is based on the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman, broke records when it premiered on Halloween. It was become the most successful cable show. It opened with 5.3m viewers. It has even been said they want to run the show for 10 seasons to match the 10 volumes. 

I haven't seen it yet, but I have it on record so I will get round to it. 

Are you happy about The Walking Dead being renewed? What do you think of the show?





MTV EMA's 2010 - The Performances


With the EMA's comes performances and they have to be spectacular. It's like the rules. Spectacular and memorable! 

Opening the show was Shakira featuring Dizzee Rascal!



Brilliant. I really love Shakira! And I love the Waka Waka Song! It's such a fun thing to say and it feels like it brings us all together! I also like her new song Loca! Great performance!

Next up was Kings of Leon!




That was good.


Next to perform was Miss Katy Perry!!




I love her, I love the song, but tell me, why was this not so good? She sounded weird. Once she got into the big notes of the song it was good but for Katy Perry this was kinda bad. She better be bloody amazing when I go see her in April!


Next was Rihanna!





Very Good! I love this song so much, and usually I tend not to like Rihanna singing live, but this was great! Go Rihanna!


Next was Kid Rock...





Not a fan really but I guess it was good? You tell me!


Moving on, Linkin Park performed next.






Sure, it was good but is it me or are these performances breaking the rules? Boring much.


It gets worse now when B.o.B and Hayley Williams took to the stage.






Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with these two, it's just I hate this song possibly more than I hate Taylor Momsen and that is really saying something! People who know me know how much I hate that tramp and I really hate this song, so much so, I physically can't listen to it.


Back to good people singing. Miley Cyrus is up next.






Hello! I am a fan of Miley Cyrus. I don't see anything wrong with the girl. She's a teenager. She's experimenting and she's having fun! This is a great song and she sings good. Good job Miley! Good job!


Plan B performed next but I can't find a video of it, but to be honest, your not missing much. Unless you like Plan B, then feel free to search for one and if you find it let me know yeah?


Moving on, Ke$ha was next!





I LOVE KE$HA! This was great. Maybe she should have sang her new song "We R Who We R" but this was still great. I love her staging and the body paint and the diving into the crowd at the end! Genius! 


Closing the show was Bon Jovi!





Who doesn't love a bit of Bon Jovi? This was a great way to close a not so good show!


What did you think of the performances? Who was your favourite?
