For me it can be no other than Cora Cross casting!

Lol Yeah. The only decision I didn't like was bringing in Michael Moon as I find Michael a really boring sort of character.

Defanately introducing Cora Cross. The scene between Cora & Tanya was emotional and moving, and it highlighted the acting skills of Ann & Jo

I've enjoyed:

Janine's character development
Cora
Branning week
Billie's death

There's been other stuff I've liked too but mainly down to the acting not the shoddy writing.

Bringing in Cora, Michael, Rose and, controversially, Lola. I think she has real potential and her acting has improved a lot.

Also recasting Lauren and Ben. I know Ben isn't popular but that's down to the writing. The actor is good.

Bringing back Rainie as a permanent cast member was also a good decision.

I like how he brought Dot back to the forefront of the show but I dislike what he's done with Ian and I'm not happy with how badly used Pat has been. Her exit storyline should be better.

I went for Cora. And other.

Billie's death. Lydia/Janine, Janine/Michael, the current Phil storyline. Lauren's recast. Whitney's story. Carol/Connor. Kim Fox. Giving Nina Wadia big drama because she can really pull it off, same with Jo Joyner. Tanya's cancer storyline. Mandy Salter, it's nice to have some fun in the Square. Rose/Dot/Cora.

For me Lauren has definitely been a success but I disagree with you on Ben. True he has been written to make him unpopular, but I just find the actor really expressionless so it's hard to distinguish what the character is feeling, there's just no emotion there for me.

But yes, add Lauren's recast to my list.

I voted for introducing Cora Cross. Other than Cora, bringing back Rainie and Branning week i thought everything else on that list was terrible

The only other good decision i can think of from Kirkwood was the recasting of Lauren and Ben.
