Hi all, just a random thought popped into my head this morning. Just that Shirley Carter is clearly so important to DTC.

He has brought in a humongous 8 CHARACTERS for Shirley!:

Tina, Mick, Linda, Johnny, Nancy, Stan, Aunt Babe, Deano.

WOW!!! It's obvious that Shirley won't be going anywhere for some time to come and I'd be surprised if Linda Henry decided to quit the show in the next few years as it really would look like she's ungrateful.

A few years ago, I would never have guessed Shirley was to become such a central character for the show! Can't wait!

She really does. Love Shirley and Linda Henry. She has been underused for so long that it's awesome to see her being utilised properly now!

She's a two bit lush who deserves nothing. She'll be back in the gutter soon where she belongs.

I don't mind her with Phil...but only if they kept her as awesome as she is now. The first time round it really ruined her character with the writing. If they kept her independent and in the Vic then I wouldn't be too worried. Would be nice if they brought Shirley in a decent bloke though....she deserves a little bit of happiness surely!

Completely agree. She should never get back back with angry tomato face. She deserves better than him.

Maybe Linda has a big brother who would fit the bill. Linda would be seething.

If Ronnie murdered her would she be redeemed in your eyes?

What about Dots grandson? How old is he meant to be? She'd like to get her boots wrapped around him I'm sure. I don't think she would have a problem with having g a toyboy anyway.

Do you mean "ooh yes please!" or "oh please" in a dismissive way?

People do make typos after all.

Love shirley. Went off her when Heather died as her character became unlikeable and pointless. Thank god Linda Henry threatened to quit, otherwise Shirley would not of had the turn around she has.

Surely that should be 9 characters, there have been some lovely scenes with Shirley and Lady Di!

Linda Henry is one of the best actresses in the show so I'm really pleased they have developed her character and added some family members.

I love her sarky one liners, nobody delivers them like Shirl!
