We all know that Izzy is involved in the upcoming minibus smash and it got me thinking- could she become a fatality? Corrie really need to start pulling some genuine shocks out of the bag to try and revitalise the show by taking creative risks to maximise drama. Could TPTB be planning to kill Izzy off? Let's look at the character currently- ever since her split with Gary, she's become completely surplus to requirements on the show. She's featured less in everyday scenes and even Katy appears more than she does now, Gary is now with Alya and both her father and sister are departing the Street this year. Apart from some gossiping scenes with the factory girls, what is left for the character?

Can't say I've heard about that one.

Given how much this stunt has been hyped, they should be using it as an opportunity to kick start the year with a big death. This plot is going to dovetail into Steve's depression so if there was a tragedy of this scale, it would give the writers some real scope to explore Steve's condition in more depth. It has been portrayed quite well so far and we need to see it continuing as a long running arc throughout 2015.

Any chance this mini bus could plow into Katie, Owen and Fiz (if she dares to appear back on the street) while killing Izzy?

I suppose it would be too much to hope that Erica is riding along on Izzy's knee when they are splattered?

They could do with a full factory clear out as far as I'm concerned.

Not sure this will happen.

An item on BBC News this morning reported that soaps should be employing more disabled people not less.

I don't think Izzy is involved in the minibus crash is she? There were photos of the cast filming it a while ago but she wasn't in any of the ones I saw, and neither was Beth. I do agree with you though. Izzy only gets a few lines now and again as it is so when her father and her sister go, there's not much point in her staying, unless the writers are suddenly going to be interested in the character.

There seems to be too many uninteresting characters on the show. I think the live episode could also be a good opportunity to change that.

Think we only know that Katie is leaving. Not see rumours of anyone else.

It's probably slightly unlikely but hey, this is Stuart Blackburn, anything is possible!!

I didn't have any problem with Sinead until her scenes with Roy and Gary last week. Her recaction to the whole thing has been horribly out of character.

If nobody is gonna die - just the usual 'life threatening' injuries which involve being tubed up in Weathy General and then making miraculous recoveries within days - what is the point of the bus crash? Another damp squib waste of time.

This wouldn't surprise me, I said that Blackburn wants Anna to be the new Elsie Tanner so all that will be left from the Armstrong/Windass clan is Anna and Gary, wonder how he will get rid of Faye

It was publicized well in advance that there would be a death in the live anniversary - indeed the main thrust of the publicity campaign was who the victim and killer would be. IOW, the identity was kept secret but not the death itself. Exactly the same thing with Cameron's death in the 41st (though that was Kate Oates) - they stated in advance there would be one but not who.

That's a little different to stating there won't be a death and then doing one.

Re the OP, it is possible as she is expendable (more so than other characters involved) but isn't the crash quite soon and surely they wouldn't kill her before her mother returns?
