Poll: Should Curly return for Corrie's 50th?
Last week, I asked your opinion on how Peggy Mitchell will bow out of EastEnders when Walford matriarch Barbara Windsor leaves the BBC soap next year.
From the thousands and thousands of votes, two clear favourites emerged in the exit plot stakes. Nearly a third of voters (30.2%) think that Peggy will head off to Portugal to live happily ever after with Grant, while 24.5% believe that she'll be sent down for murdering her husband Archie (Larry Lamb).
Meanwhile, 13.5% of those polled think she'll die a natural death and the same percentage envisage her being driven out of Walford in a black cab. Classic but boring.
The 'she'll be murdered' option took 11.4% of the vote, 5.9% clicked the 'other' button and 1.1% opted for my personal favourite - she'll be kidnapped never to be seen again.
It could happen, though! Jake Mood, anyone?
Swiftly moving onto this week's poll topic - Kevin Kennedy and his ongoing plight to return for Coronation Street's 50th anniversary. 
Since April, the 48-year-old Curly Watts actor has been harping on about a potential comeback to the ITV soap to tie in with its 50th anniversary.
One minute he's 'in talks' for a return that's being "discussed at the highest levels" and the next thing we know, the rumours are untrue.
But hold on a minute... I thought you said that...
OK, so these quotes are taken out of context all the time.
I thought we'd heard the last of the rumours for a few months - until Thursday. Yep, Kevin was recently quoted as saying that he's now spoken to them and is hopeful of a comeback. Understandably, however, Corrie says that it's too early to be revealing anniversary plans.
So whether meetings have or haven't taken place, would you like to see Curly returning to Weatherfield with those iconic glasses?
Let me know by casting your vote in the panel below.

Video: Jane and Masood's kiss in 'EastEnders'
This is the EastEnders moment that we've all seen coming for months.
Jane (Laurie Brett) finally locks lips with Masood (Nitin Ganatra) during tonight's episode but it's not as clear cut as it seems. From the outset, you'd think that Jane simply gives in to temptation - but there's a whole lot more to it.
Earlier in the evening, Jane has an argument with Ian (Adam Woodyatt) over her desire to adopt - and Ian ends up telling her that he has enough parental responsibility, before suggesting that if she wants a child, she should find another man.
A devastated Jane seeks solace in Masood and in the heat of the moment kisses him.
They do agree to forget it ever happened, but it has to surface at some point, doesn't it? Nothing ever remains a secret in Albert Square...

Siān Reeves on Sally's future, potential exit and more!
So, in true avenged lover-style, she locks Laurel in the church and causes a fire. She doesn't, however, think of the repercussions of her actions or potential interference from a third party. This, ladies and gentleman, is where her plan falls to pieces.
Click here to read what Siān has to say about the plot, or read on for some exclusive bonus quotes about Sally's future in Emmerdale, her screen husband Vincent and her dream exit from the Dales.
Where does Sally go from here?
"My biggest task now is to try and make people feel a little sorry for her, but everyone's hating her! Sally's furious by the outcome of the fire, but she lives short-term. Sally's running the house, looking after the children and Ashley thinks that Sally's wonderful for helping. Sally tries to show Ashley that Laurel's not needed and is unnecessary! It's awful, really! It's not all over for her, though. There's a chilling scene coming up beyond Laurel's return from hospital. It's still Sally's aim to get rid of her. She'll keep at it "
Will we be seeing Vincent again?
"I don't know. He could come and cart me off, couldn't he?! There's going to be something, though, surely."
Can you give us any teasers as to how it all ends?
"I can't! I'm hoping that she'll drown herself! It has to be something as fabulous as that. Unrequited love and utter madness."
Could she set up her own death to look like a murder?
"I don't know if she'd want to blame someone for murdering her. She'll try to do something that'll make Ashley love or remember her forever. Something that Ashley will never be able to erase from his memory. Maybe hang herself in the church or something - now that'd be an indelible print!"
And Charlotte Bellamy's just had her little baby!
"Yes! I haven't had a chance to see her yet but I've been in constant contact, though, because I'm very good friends with Charlotte. Of all the people to try and kill in Emmerdale! I love her daughter's name, too - Teddie Boo Florence. When she's older, she can just be Ted."
