Great to hear that Oliver is staying - I can't wait to see what happens to Andy.

Does Anthony Cotton sign a new contract every week? It seems to be in the news an awful lot.

Thats depressing news other than Kate Ford, Oliver Farnworth, Tisha Merry and Alan Halsall the rest are deadwood and most of them have been for years.

More Windarses and Dev? I wanna cry.

I totally agree. They need a massive clearout. The Windasses are an awful family to say the least, I can't remember ever actually been vaguely interested in any of their storylines.

Jimmy Harkishin is an atrocious actor. How he has remained in employment for so many years is a mystery. Surely his employment is a violation of the trades description act??

Windasses have never been great but they were bearable for the last few years, now they have been overused the last 18 months to the point I want to throw the remote at the telly whenever they come on.

BIB -LOL, Dev should have been axed in 2003.

Agreed but they need a producer with some balls who will axe the deadwood and Blackburn is NOT that Producer.

It seems like a lot of the younger Corrie actors have no intention of leaving the show perhaps because they know they would not get any work elsewhere!

That's the problem with Corrie it's too loyal to it cast and keeps a lot of long term characters when they know 50% off them are deadwood and not that good, I mean Anthony Cotton that is just a running joke now how he gets he contact renewed every year!

Nice to see all the DS favourites contracts renewed.

"The move comes following the loss of a string of big names such as Alison King, Craig Charles, Chris Gascoyne, Katy Cavanagh and Maddie Heath"
So I guess the actress isn't worthy of being named?

Great to see that most of those on that list are either terrible actors, deadwood characters or both. Hopefully a new EP will be in for the next set of contract negotiations and has the ball to not renew the deadwood.

I wouldn't exactly call Dev or Sean or Tracy or many others on that list fan favourites, I'm guessing they mean Blackburn's favourites. It's quite annoying to think that they are earning way more than most people despite doing a really bad job.

I hope they develop and focus on Steph and NotGavin's relationship then, maybe try and establish them as new family unit for decades to come.

Id hardly class anthony cotton/sean a favroite going by social media...

The show would be better off if they killed him off.

On what basis is Anthony Cotton's contract renewed - he is quite awful.

Who calls themselves Mikey
He's a Legend

One of the stars of the show.

Cotton has friends within the writing team.

Unless of course it's someone who is a Ds favourite- then it's why did he axe him/her.

The recent announcement of Lola in EastEnders leaving springs to mind.

The Eps are damned either way

I think I read somewhere that Tony Warren Corries creator is a bit of a fan of the character /actor or both.

Amy James-Kelly was the actress who played the character Maddie Heath, who was Sophie Webster's girlfriend and died after the fire in Victoria Court.
