John Connor and Kate Connor, both leaders of the resistance in the Terminator films, I will be annoyed if there is no jokes or references to that.

As a Family Affairs devotee and a big Shayne Ward fan I'm very excited about Richard Hawley's casting.

Although given the current DS mood towards Corrie can't say I'm looking forward to tuning in once Shayne arrives on screen.

I'm really not sure why the production team have gone down the route of a) casting new characters b ) casting more Connors.

Carla is leaving, Maria is barely considered a Connor and Michelle should be better integrated into the McDonalds. Building up the Connor clan should, in my view, be quite low down their list.

Does that mean she's lesbian then, or is Tess some sort of nickname??

Anyone think Kate is being brought in as a direct replacemrnt im case Carla decides not to return?? She has a similar look to her!!

Actually quite looking forward to all this!! Like the Connor family as a unit!!

As soon as I saw this, I'm praying that this doesn't happen.

They both look promising; as long as they have not got in by the back door because they are related to a cast member, or are a Z list celeb. I don't understand why they are expending the Connor clan; Carla is going and Maria is a non-person at present.

Haven't you kind of answered your own question here? Okay, so maybe not "expanding"...more "replacing"....

I thought the Connor family storyline was being phased out, with Carla going. I wonder where the new Connors will live. Is any house in the street about to become vacant?

Sounds very similar to the Baldwin Clan that once ran the factory and they were extremely popular...Is history trying to repeat itself....or should I say Blackburn !!!

Could be good additions, let's give them a chance. Shayne Ward has a lot to prove in his first TV role, let's hope he's more Liam Connor than Luke Strong...

I think it's actually a smart move expanding the Connors. When you think about it, there hasn't really been a Corrie family that has worked as well as they did, albeit quite briefly with Rob James Collier and Paul Gallagher leaving the show within a short space of time. Virtually all the families since have been a real mixed bag: the Grays got axed, the Prices have all gone now- with the exception of Eva, the Windass/ Armstrong clan suffered from overexposure last year and are now a depleted and spent force and the Nazirs have generally been derided by the critics.

More screen time for Kym Marsh?

And I wouldn't be surprised if Johnny Connor ends up bedding Liz.

Because it gives reason for Michelle to stay put!

Underworld under 'different' management, could be good. Shame a new family couldn't clear the McDonalds out of the Rovers.

Exactly. There hasn't been one worth any air time yet. Liam was OK-ish.

This seems like Blackburn isn't going anywhere anytime soon, I did think he would have left after Corrie's live episode but that doesn't seem the case and now he is bringing in a new family it seems we are stuck with him for longer.

Quite.
Carla is a Donovan not a Connor.
So why Connors and why not Battersbys?, for instance, as there is only one Battersby at present.

It feels like they're pulling at straws with this new lot. I worry about Corrie and the storylines of late not sure what these people will add to already fragile cast in terms of acting ability.
Richard Hawley is a good actor though so there is a positive...

She's only going temporarily, so it gives her more reason to return.
