Last week, I asked if Coronation Street's Fiz and John were right for each other.

Looking at the results, this poll has really split readers, with the votes almost evenly spread across the three choices.

Almost a third of respondents (31.3%) chose the 'Yes, they're perfect for each other' option, while the 'No, it's a ridiculous relationship' option polled the most, with 35.4% of votes. The remaining 33.4% admitted that they were past caring about them.

I'm slowly becoming tired of the story, but I think that's due to Fiz's (Jennie McAlpine) pining for John (Graeme Hawley) becoming exhausting to watch. Only another couple of months to go. Until then though, it's not all Fiz whining - there's a wedding to throw into the mix.

> More Fiz and John wedding pictures!

Will Chesney (Sam Aston) accept that his sister is about to become Mrs Fiona Stape? And what will the Websters have to say when John finally returns to the cobbles?

Onto this week's vote now, in which I have to focus on former Emmerdale actress Sally Oliver, who played the now-departed Lexi King.



Over the last few months, I have really warmed to Sally and her portrayal of Lexi. She really started to 'own' her character, something which I think was down to the fact that she finally had some direction or some clarification of Lexi's status and purpose in the village. Until recently, she's almost been a lost soul.

Thursday night's real-time roof episode was nothing short of excellent - the acting, the direction, the writing and the culmination to Lexi's story. Admittedly, when I first watched the episodes last weekend, I was a little disappointed that Lexi didn't splatter on the pavement below. Not because I have a twisted mind, but because I thought it would have been more dramatic than her walking.

However, watching the episodes back when they aired on Thursday, Lexi's final line was more dramatic than splattering on a pavement could ever be: "You're a liar and a cheat - why the hell would I want to stay with you? We could have had such a wonderful life… Never mind, eh?"

I think it's safe to say that Emmerdale's in safe hands with new series producer Gavin Blyth and Thursday's episodes just go to show that when the show's on form, it's excellent.

So for this week's poll, I have to ask: 'Are you happy Lexi's been written out?' Cast your vote using the usual panel below.
