What I can't understand is why people disappear or never get spoken about when they aren't on a current plotline.
I'm sure in times past (when god where a lad & the Rovers still had the Snug) folk used to be seen in the pub, passing in the street or were referred to in passing.
Obviously with Ken & Kev you can't have them wandering in the background I know but the others- Emily...etc
You can get away with a lot of " Oh you just missed Ken, he's gone to get a paper" but to just not even mention him is even more obvious surely?
Although as previously stated a nightmare for the scriptwriters, I can imagine the "Oh FFS!" comments at Corrie HQ today when Bill Roaches' trial was adjourned till January.
