Does anyone have any characters in Corrie who they couldn't stand at first, but then who "grew" on them? Mine are:

Carla
Becky
Kylie
Maddie
The Nazirs

I still can't stand, and can't wait to see the back of:

Andrea
Callum
Sarah
Bethany

I definitely agree with Maddie. When she first entered the show she was simply a feral brat, with a massive chip on her shoulder. Over time- and, in particular, her scenes with Sally, Tim and Kevin- she became a much more fully rounded individual. Her shock death was probably one of the few highlights of the otherwise poorly written BGT week. I miss the character, but equally the actress made a smart move in quitting so soon that she wouldn't be typecast.

Gary
Maddie
Kylie
Nick (Ben Price version)
Tim

If it was a list of characters who you once liked but now hate then my list would be a lot longer.

Tim.

I really couldn't stand him at first but he's one of my favourites now

I really didn't like Tim when he started, thought he was a bit of a weirdo and wasn't even sure that he was Faye's dad , now I like him especially with sally and also with Craig think that there is something sweet about him, don't like him with Anna tho hope they don't go down that road.

Gary
Carla
Beth
Todd (returned from London incarnation)
Nick (Ben Price version)
Bethany

Tim, pairing him with Sally was a good move.
Mary
Carla, love her friendship with Roy

Gary
Roy
Kylie
Tim
Sally ( but ONLY if they keep her & Tim together, can't stand her when she isn't with him!!)
Emily B, used to think she was stuck up & boring until Ernie was killed!!
