Coronation Street

It could be but I doubt it. They chose not to dismiss Jimmi Harkishin in Dec 2004 when he was pictured in the same situation, merely suspend him for two months without pay, or when he was stopped for suspected shoplifting last year, so I don't really see how they can sack Craig Charles now after condoning his behaviour. It would seem rather unfair to allow one actor to stay after being pictured allegedly taking drugs and not another. I may be wrong though.

The trouble is, this isn't the first time... and we're talking harder drugs as well.

Corries turning into EastEnders two years ago, the cast are all leaving, and now theres a big scandal

Well he's been suspended after a meeting today with Steve Frost. The BBC have also suspended him from his BBC Radio 6Music show.

So did Maria's new squeeze, satisfy this criteria ?

I thought Lloyed was one of the many minor charcters who were going anyway? Which I thought was a shame as I quite liked him. The Mirror are claiming he was on thin ice anyway, so I doubt he'll ever be back.

Yes but the main difference is Corrie's storylines havent gone down the pan like that other soaps apparently did.



He wasnt bad but not really my type.

I hope Lloyd does go; unlike Bradley Walsh (who's made Danny a great character), he's just Craig Charles to me - an annoying scouser.

The Dev / Father's day card story was bloody annoying - as if anyone would prance around the street reading the card out to everyone

Maria's new bloke is cute, but I agree with Jez - not my type! There's definitely room for one or two more sexy guys on the Street!

What do you reckon to Bill Ward's departure then (if DS is to be believed)?

The important thing with all these announcements of people leaving is that they are generally "Such and such has announced they are quitting the street.... blah blah... Such and such who will leave next year"

It's only June!
Therefore they arn't really leaving yet, there's time for 3 storylines!

That's why the list of leavers seems longer than it is, as you are including people who are close to leaving and have been leaving for months, with those who arn't leaving until 2007. It's not as if they are all going at once

Doesn't Sean float your boat? He's 30, so fits into that age group. He isn't that bad-looking either! Ashley would be OK if it weren't for the voice. Some say that Steve is attractive. Maybe it is a shame that Adam Rickett is intending to become a Tory boy

So what are you saying all scouser's are annoying? for e.g Ricky Tomlinson, Sue Johnston etc?

I can't see anywhere in that post where he says that all Scousers are annoying - he merely calls Craig Charles an annoying Scouser.

And yes, I think you're all annoying.
