I used to like her before she left but from she has returned I find her unbearable to watch and really annoying. Anyone agree?

I think Michaela's personality made sense the first time round when she was a bratty in your face teenager, but there just doesn't seem to be any purpose to her now - she hasn't really grown, and I don't really want this return to ruin the memories of her first time round a la Mandy.

I liked her at the very beginning, disliked her towards her exit and I absolutely despise her since her (pointless) return.

I've been quite happy with her return. I didn't like her in the last year of the show, she got too whingy and annoying.

But the writing for her has been on top form since she came back. Michaela has always made gobby comments so this wasn't a shock to me and she's probably became more nosy now as she is older, and isn't involved with a certain group anymore (her only friend is Amy) so I think that's why she's been snopping in to conversations and introducing herself to randomers, she sees a lot of uni students and she's trying to fit in to the spirit of it all, and it's worked, she's met Leanne, Jodie and the band that way.

I really like her. I think they are just trying to find her place, rather than shove her down our throats. I really hope they have planned ahead.

I love Michaela but she doesn't seem to have much of a purpose at the moment. Her character has such potential to bring a bit of genuine comedy to Hollyoaks like the old days but at the moment she's just one of the many loose tools. Any bet the writers will either ruin her character or completely forget about her.

I think because HO got so bad for a period I deluded myself into thinking she was some great character when she was in it.

Turns out she wasn't. Didn't care for her then don't care for her now.

Yes it was, the whole Spain storyline where she had a sugar daddy, was stupid as is her obnoxious return, they had a perfect opportunity to bring her back in the journalism role and have her out Silas, they should have then returned Nancy to teaching again.

Putting her in scenes almost exclusively with that awful band was a huge mistake. Her return has flopped for me as I fast forward through all her scenes so I can get to the good stuff. What are Hollyoaks playing at with that band storyline? It's total crap.

The band storyline is almost over so maybe she'll have more to do afterwards. I've been assuming that for a while she's just being put back in the village in a way that she can get involved with different people before she can have much of a storyline with them. Putting her with the band I suppose is an example of HO thinking that mixing new, unpopular characters with older characters will make people like the new characters... Obviously that hasn't worked but it hasn't completely ruined her character forever or anything so they could still do more with her in the new year (unless they want another actor walking out because of lack of storylines).

I love Michaela, just as great as she ever was. She'll be back to her old once that band have gone.

I love her, I just wish they'd give her more storylines apart from the whole band thing - and defo more time with people like Amy, Jodie etc - they're great together

I couldn't stand her first time, liked her in Later, can't stand her since she returned to the village.

Along with Myra, she's definitely the most pointless of the McQueens.

I like Michaela always have and am glad she is back but so far she has done very little, she needs a proper storyline now to get back into her stride.

I didn't much for her except with Barnsey the first time round. And I can't stand her character now. She is cruel and a pain in the proverbial when she is being nasty. Let her go.

I love Michaela and am glad she has returned! Without the band she will be even better! I think her bitchy comments are true to her character and am slightly surprised that people are suddenly slating her!
