Just watching the episodes back from last week and loving Carol and Shirley and the material they are getting. Also can't help but feel gutted that Carol is leaving I had visions of Carol and Shirley becoming the new Pat and Peggy.

I loved Carol and Shirley together. I'm so gutted that Lindsey Coulson is leaving because Carol and Shirley's friendship could have been good.

Two old bags having a chat!

I think that was a one off. Shame, they did bounce of one another.

Agreed. Enjoyed their scenes and I hope we get more Lindsey Coulson leaves. Would be a shame for it to be a one off.

Carol has never really had a close female friend in all the years she's been onscreen. They did start to develop a friendship between her and Glenda a few years back but then Glenda abruptly left.

As for Shirley I love her friendship with Denise, they remind me very much of Pat and Kathy's friendship back in the day. Just like Pat and Kathy Shirley and Denise started off as enemies as one was the ex-wife of the others husband but gradually over the years (and the death of said husband) they bond and become each other's closest friend.

If she returns I hope Carol and Shirley Strike up a friendship. Although I love Denise and Shirley too.

Agreed. I love Shirley and Denise as friends. I hope that they have more scenes together as Dean s/l comes to a close.

If/when Lindsey Coulson does return, I would like to see Carol/Shirley strike up a friendship. It works so well. I hope we get more scenes with them before Carol's exit.

Definitely. We need more Denise and Shirley

I would love to see them reexplore Denise's alcoholism, and for Shirley to support her. It could also be the catalyst to helping Shirley recognise her own drinking and be a huge story for Diane Parish to get her teeth into, as well as the rest of the Trueman/Fox clan. It was a shame that it ended so suddenly.

A rare instance of both Carol and Shirley not being miserable old bags who thrive on misery. I liked it.

I liked Carol and Shirley last week. Shirley doesn't really work with the Carters. I hope Shirley and Carol will continue to have scenes more because Lindsey Coulson and Linda Henry are good together.

Completely agree with this. She's a lot more watchable with the Fox/Truemans, Buster (even though she treats him like crap) and other non Carter characters. I don't know what DTC was thinking making "the Carters" Shirley's family. I've yet to see one positive from it.

I feel really frustrated that Lindsey C is leaving as shes a fantastic actress and I really feel they could have given her plenty more storylines. Shirley and Carol could have become another great pairing. Brilliant scenes last week.

I like Shirley's scenes with Mick/Tina (Mick, before the rape) as I love the three as together but I adore her with the Fox/Truemans, with non Carters and Buster. I even like Sharon and Shirley scenes! But overall, I think most of the Carters work better separately. I prefer Linda with Sharon, Nancy with the Masoods, Mick with Ian/Alfie before he left and Lee with Whitney and the Jacksons.

That's a good point. I'd never thought about it but you're right about the Carters working better with other characters than they do with each other. I hope DTC picks up on this and scatters them about the square. I hate them in The Vic.
