I know he's left EE but Ricky Butcher is a perfect example.

Kerry in Emmerdale - she's either whining at Amy or trying it on with a random bloke.

Shirley just cannot function without Heather not Phil.
Heather was always the bigger character. If you look back it was Heather who got all the storylines not Shirley. The bulk of Shirley's screen time came from Heather. It was massive mistake axing that character. So much so they have had to rely on Jean to now hold Shirley up. |

Erm every single one with phil when they were together? Shirley had a better character arc than heather. Heathers s/ls were just stupid.

All Shirley did was be on/off with Phil more times than a light switch
Heather was far more developed than Shirley actually is. Its ironic that is the way it turned out given Heather was only added in to help Shirley's development. |

I don't really understand this thread. All characters need a storyline and other characters to interact with. Saying that someone is pointless without someone else is just nonsense, it depends on the storylines and plots developed.

Exactly. Roundabout domestics with Phil doesn't equal storylines.

So drugs stuff, glendas affair, rainie, stalker stuff, xmas 2011??! They weren't all solely about her but she was apart of them
They were not her storylines. She was a bit player in them. |

You've just hit the nail on the head.

Not all of them. The drugs, glenda, rainie and stalker she was heavily involved in them. She was one of the few who had heavy involvement in xmas 2011 apart from the masoods
She overshadowed sharons return in reveal week Drugs: Phil's story Glenda: Phil and Glenda had the affair Rainie: Phil again Stalker: Wasn't Shirl being stalked She had a role but not her storylines But Shirl had nothing to do with Sharon's return storyline |

Yes she did she was in her first scene ! Shirl affected phil&bens relationship in a big way. If she hadnt done a lot of things that she did they might not have turned out the way they did in the end If anything heather ended up being a bit part in the mitchells storylines. She was afterall the catalyst of the whole heather murder. So in a way a lot of heathers stuff wouldnt have happened had shirl not been with phil |
