New Corrie Girls
Coronation Street bosses have recently signed two new faces to appear on the infamous cobbles, The Sun reports today.
First up is Jenny Platt, who will play the Rovers' sexy new barmaid Julie. “She will pull as many blokes as pints. The men in Weatherfield will be queuing up to get to the bar,” a Corrie insider revealed. Alongside Platt, producers have also signed Tupele Dorgu, who will star as knicker-sewing Kelly Crabshaw, and is set to replace Karen McDonald when she leaves at the end of the year. “She will take over from Karen McDonald as The Street’s sex kitten with claws,” added the source. Both actresses signed up to the Street yesterday (Wednesday), and will start to film in August. Viewers should expect to see the pair on screens in September. Whatever happened to the innocent type of girl in soaps ? Doesn't anyone get sick of the same bedhopping female characters ? We don't want characters replacing with the same ! |

I know what you mean, but there is always Emily Bishop
. I think the vast majority of new female characters are billed as being a "sex kitten" or "temptress" but in fact they aren't that bad once they're on screen. I must admit that the women of Weatherfield are very over-sexed! The new girl allegedly in the Karen McDonald mould will have a lot to live up to, considering Suranne Jones' amazing portrayl of Karen. We'll of course have to wait and see how good she is, but in all honesty I hope she's not as good as Karen cause I really love Suranne (although I don't want to see totally rubbish acting). As far as the "new barmaid" goes...zzzzZZZZ...we've seen loads of barmaids in the Rovers over the past few years and none of them have really made an impact, considering how good long-standing Rovers' staff were/are, Annie Walker, Bet Lynch and Betty Williams and Raquel to name a few. Knowing Corrie she will sleep with someone she shouldn't e.g. Danny Baldwin or Steve McDonald...get pregnant and leave Weatherfield never to be seen again.

Another barmaid? Just how many does a small backstreet pub need? Isn't Liz McDonald meant to be working in there when she comes back , along with Shelly and Betty. I heard that Leanne would have a stint in there too, but that's probably someone just guessing.

They're all the same - a combination of Tracy Barlow and Karen McDonald - one of them will be as mad as Maya and one will be as dopey as Shelley.
We need new characters! Not just replacements of Karen McDonald. |

Probably as Betty is always complaining that she has to stand in for whoever needs an emergency night off at very short notice. She gets away with point blankly refusing due to her age at times no doubt. Fred probably dare not sack her !
I've always wondered, does Betty claim a pension on top of her Rovers earnings. A call for an investigation ! |

Am I the only person who will be glad to see the back of Karen? I think Surane Jones only has one expression ! Manic anxiety and she is just so annoying when she calls Steve 'baby' with that irritating accent !!! I'm so glad she's going and she'll disappear into the ether ! |
