I have to disagree with most of your Corrie list.
Axeing Blanche, Tracey, Kevin, Sally, Rosie (because of the SL with Sally) and Eileen would just be a Big mistake!

I used to like Donna in Emmerdale - when she was Cockney Donna - i don't like Donna of the Dales.

Sally Webster is great with her annoying mum storyline!

I'd axe...
I really don't know, I've just thought for about 3 minutes and noone has come to mind.

Don't get me started on EastEnders though!

I don't really watch Emmerdale much so won't comment, but from Corrie it would have to be Les Battersby - sorry, I know many love the character but the actor who plays him, in my opinion is awful, he does little more then yell his lines - I agree the need for a Les Battersby type character - I just wish they had a competant actor to play him.

From Corrie, I would axe Ashley and Claire (boring!), the entire Harris family (alhough Tommy and Angela are going), and Jason Grimshaw.
From EE, I would have to write an essay, and i'd be here all day, so i'll just say i'd axe the whole show!!!

Did I hear someone say Blanche???? Blanche?

No way! She's the best thing on the Street at the moment!

No way could they get rid of Blanche - she spices up the boring antics of Emily and Betty, and co!!!

I wouldn't say she's the best thing, but she's a superb and hilarious character!

Yes axing Blanche, Sally and Eileen would be scandalous!!

In Corrie I wouldn't get rid of many--Sonia as she gets right on my nerves
Jason because he's boring

But saying that, all the characters blend well together, something no other soap accomplishes (although Emmerdale does a fairly good job) Having a scene with everyone in the pub, everyone chipping in and bouncing off eachother is just magic!
Even Sonia and Jason contribute to that I suppose

From Emmerdale, I'd axe Chloe, Robert, Danny, Donna, Paddy (anyone notice him totally overacting more than ever--fidgeting stuttering etc in tonights episode? Not good). I would say Jarvis as one his own I hate him but I suppose he's required for the Edna and co scenes

Thank God Karen's going....she is a terrible actress . I can't stand her. Get rid of the Harris family (thank God they're going too) and I agree about Les Battersby....Bruce whatever his name is can't act at all. Tyrone is irritating so he could go, so should Ashley and Claire. Mad Maya is a pain in the arse,how could anyone have fallen for her...lunatic wild thing

In EE, the Fereiras of course, Sharon should go, she's as dull as ditchwater. Old Mo Slater is a lousy actress, I'm sure she reads her lines off the chip wrappers. Den's gone.what a relief...silly old sod. More of Jim and Sonia please. Sasha hasn't made the Fereiras any better..........as if she would be interested in Adi.....come on !!!!
