I like Amber.

I'd axe:
Dev
Lauren
Emily
Alex
Vernon


I agree, Amber makes a good double act with Dev. Id axe Lauren, Emily, Alex, Ryan and Michelle.

Dear David Platt has he learnt nothing from Heather Mills McCartney?

They had better not axe Reet, Sally, Gail and Betty! Yes I know Sally and Gail arent OAP's but they are long serving cast, Gail having been there since 1974 and Sally since 1986.

Ive never been an Emily Bishop fan sorry so wouldnt be bothered if she was axed. Ken Barlow either. However its nice to have 1 of the original cast members still in the show. Wouldnt be bothered about Deirdre going either she was an excellent character back in the day but now isnt.

Who else could go? Jack, Audrey, Kevin? All long serving cast of 20+ years.

I quite like Michelle, and Ryan is growing on me. I'd also get rid of Jerry's clan.

Speaking of whom, I was always under the impression Daz and Mel were twins?

The axe falling on older characters has already been denied. A Corrie cull is definately required though.

I used to like Michelle but she has been overused like so many other characters.

I think they are twins.

Some good stuff in tonights first episode with Gail determined to have her say!

Great episodes tonight. However I hope they don't overuse Becky, I like her but too much of her and she will become the next Michelle 'because she is popular'.

I doubt there's truth in this either but I wouldn't be surprised if Emily Bishop is one of the longest serving due to be axed. In fairness, she hardly gets any storylines or scenes now. I often wonder whether she's just kept in because she's been in the soap the second longest.


I think that might be the case. Some people forget that Emily actually joined the show in January 1961 so has been there almost since the start.

The last time Emily had a storyline was when Ernie's killer turned up.

I dont think they will ever axe Ken or Emily. Could be wrong though. I cant even remember the last time Emily was in Corrie. It must be a few months ago.

Emily and Betty must be quite old so probably only do a few episodes a year.

David couldn't have put Emily's window through if he tried as it's double glazed
