With the recent news that Phil Collinson is leaving the show, if you were named Producer, what would you do to the show?

What characters would you axe? What would be their exit storyline?
What characters would you bring back?
What new characters would you create?
What would be your key storylines?
Would you make changes to the set?
New Titles, Music? etc

Let's hear your ideas.

I'd kill off Deirdre and Tracy in a 'shock' accident involving a cigarette and a Catherine wheel.

I would kill off Deirdre and Tracy Barlow.

I would have them trapped in the living room while the house is ablaze. They hold onto each other, hugging while the fire creeps in closer.
DEIRDRE: oh Tracy Luv, we won't be able to badly act anymore!
TRACY: oh mam, lets put in one bad over the top performance!
DEIRDRE: oh Tracy Luv!
TRACY: oh mam!

(Steve sees the house ablaze) :Oh no, the flipping Barlows house is on flipping fire. Flipping hell

AXE:

Sunita/Karl - Lottery win by Karl see's him propose to her. She say's yes and they move away to live in London - Dev gains full access to twins
Ryan - killed off in the factory after stealing from there and he get's killed by Michelle who thinks it''s an intruder this leads to:
Michelle - going to prison for manslaughter of her own son
Llyord + new family - all get together and they move away from Corrie for good
Maria, Marcus and Sean - Maria and Marcus leave together after becoming a couple, Sean moves away after Maria agrees to let them carry on being in a 3 way kinda relationship

- Axe Sean quickly and without a big story.
- Replace Sean with a more normal character who just happens to be gay. They did this very well last year with Ken's grandson.
- Also axe Gloria (not working out), Paul (a total spare part), and Sunita (irredeemable).
- Bring back Cilla Brown
- Feature an anorexia/eating disorder storyline
- Introduce a new family, and have a special episode where they arrive, showing the street and its goings on from their point of view entirely. An objective outlook would be interesting.

Get CS to do a gang killing of Tracy (like Brookside did with that drug dealer, Michaelson). Several residents band together and bump Tracy off because no-one can put up with her any longer!

Thank God you've not been named as the new producer, then.

I think its about time we saw the Platts broken up. They have become little more than just silly comedy moments and any storyline just seems a re-hash of others they have had in the past. Nick with his troublesome relationships, Gail and her troublesome relationships, oh and Audrey with her troublesome relationships, oh and David with his wife!

As you can see they are all basically given the same storylines and they have suffered so many problems down the years they have exhausted all options for the writers.

Remove Tracey. (Deirdre's character may improve then.)

Remove Paul.


Bring back Toyah, Jim McDonald (when he has finished in Doctors), Andy McDonald, Curly Watts, Gary Mallett and his twins, Des Barnes (bother, that's not possible), and Claire Peacock and her boys.
(Names edited.)

Get rid of Tully right now. No need for any storyline. Just get rid.
Dev to go. His atrocious acting is now beyond even laughing at.
Steve McDonald. No more gurning.
Lloyd. No more smirks.
Gloria. Anyone who is a friend of Tomlinson shouldn't be in our favourite soap.
Tyrone. Can come back when he's learnt how to act.
Fiz. Ditto. No, maybe I still wouldn't have her back.

When a character is axed it usually means a brand new pathetic, pointless, ridiculous character will be introduced soon after. With Stuart Blackburn taking over next year, I can't see it being any different.

So instead of getting rid of characters, I want to see less of Tracy if she continues to be a vindictive cow obsessed with Steve McDonald, I don't want to see Eileen's fireman more than once a year, I don't want to see much of Lloyd and Mandy (though Jenna is alright), Nick with his 2 - 3 expressions can sod off and I don't want much of Tommy and Tina either.

Haha
Then in a plot twist, Leanne becomes the suspect after being an arsonist herself and gets arrested, and because police in Weatherfield don't need evidence, they lock her up in prison for months to await trial.
