It's good to see Leanne climbing as she was shockingly low, but the older characters are being seriously neglected! Yasmeen is still really low which is good but it's terrible to see Les Dennis, Callum and Michelle so high.
I'm also surprised no body has passed 100 episodes yet as it's normally around this time that the first character pass the threshold. Though it's highly likely the top 3 will do it in August.

I don't understand what the show is doing with the Nazirs. I expected a spike in their appearances following Kal's death but the follow up has been minimal. It's as if they're just not interested, and if the Corrie team don't care, how are we meant to? I'm disappointed so far, as I expected a real turnaround once they lost the weakest link. As it stands, Yasmeen's racked up 72 total appearances in her 13 months on the show. By comparison, even Mandy Kamara did more in her 11-month stint.

Bloody hell, how has Sarah managed nearly sixty episodes already? That happened like lightening.

I said the same thing about the Nazir's. Kal only had 26 appearances before he died which was pathetic. He only appeared regularly a week before he was killed! I think Yasmeen's have been so low because she had such a hugely negative reaction that they needed a break and try to soften the character and try to make the viewers like her, similar to how they have tried to make Michelle likable by stopping her nagging.
