Corrie thread - New thread for the New Year, time for another disaster?

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

New thread in time for the new year - hopefully this year will see the back of some awful characters.

I would personally like to see the following rounded up and shoved in a deep hole in the Red Rec:

Izzy
Anna
Owen
Gary
Michelle
Tracey-Luv
Gavin
Faye
Yasmeen and her entire extended family
The Community Centre
Kylie
Todd
Steph

That'll do for starters.

I'm catching up now. The chip shop is open again!

So Julie is leaving now, why can't it be someone from our list?

Julie's leaving? What the heck? DH will be devastated. He loves to see her in her swingy frocks, and (almost) silently wishes my wardrobe ran on the same lines.

Mary will be pleased.

Aww, that's a pity. I like Julie, she is funny and kind.
Why do none of the bland and/ or annoying characters leave!

I was hoping Julie and Dev would have a long term relationship, and I also thought she was great in the minibus crash scenes.
Mary's hopes of Dev will be reignited, I suppose.

Oh dear! Why is she leaving? Apparently Dev is going to Mumbai next week. Does Julie live with him now or has she still go her own place?

I guess that Julie and Dev aren't going to be our happy married couple then.

I think it's her decision to leave. I think that must be a hard choice for any actor. Stability of the Street vs being typecast.

She has quit

Yes it's a shame Julie's going. Would be good if she could take Dev with her

Oh no that's sad.

It's a real shame. I can't stand Sophie and Maddie. I can't even put it into words.

I liked Julie until she started going out with Dev. I don't like them together for some reason.

Why can't it be Sawphie going?

Completely boring episode only enlivened by Anna tripping up on the pavement outside Roy's.

Poor Craig is so going to get the blame
Katie's taken the first step on the road to destruction.
And lastly, why was Michelle ironing a perfectly crease-free t-shirt?!!!

Boring episodes this week so far, yes.

Dreading this stupid baby storyline with Faye and thinking of switching off for a while.

I can't be arsed to watch it at the moment . Dull. And now the Faye storyline will have all the windass family yelping.
More Sally and Tim please !

I too am concerned that Craig will get the blame.

Yes, I can see that ending with Anna and Beth brawling on the street.
Boring.

Maddie is such a smirking pain in the ass. Cannot stand her.

Totally agree about Maddie.

Maddie is awful, just awful, horrible character, please can she leave for good, I bet she won't, she will be in it for years, even if Soppy Sophie leaves she will stay, and I will think the writers are doing it just to piss me off, seriously, I can't stand her.

Ahhhh, that feels better

I actually want Norris to be the one who defeats her, in their spiteful little feud, I dislike her so much.
I wish she and Sophie would move out, completely, but they haven't a notion.

I liked the scene in the shop,though. And the young delivery guy was ace!

Roy is so sweet.

Just caught up.Craig is so sweet and gentle and everyone's friend.I loved it when Tim said to him "did I adopt you or something?",and the picnic he made for Sinead-so lovely.

Did anybody notice Steve topless ?
He put a clean Tshirt on which Michelle had just ironed and then said he was going for a shower

I wondered that as well about Steve, I thought he was about to get dressed, next thing Liz started on about him being in his pyjamas, then he said he was going for a shower.
