2012 Wrap up and awards


This is a list of off beat awards I find myself making notes on through the year. Most of them are not the usual "Best Actor, storyline" etc. though there are one or two of them. Some have two winners. They're just for fun and my own opinions. Down the post further is just a quick summary of the storylines by family unit, again mostly just to jog my own memory, and not really to touch on every single storyline, just the more prominent ones.

Conversation Street podcast also did a year end awards and wrap up with 2013 predictions, it's good fun and you can listen to it here.

Nice awards! Looks like we're on the same wavelength for most things! The Deirdre award should have been the 'I.. didn't... do...any of it!' award, which would have surely gone to Bill Webster!
