HO Who can be saved?

What characters do you think can be saved with better writing, storylines or character development? Who is just too far gone? ()

I think the people who can't be saved are...
Tiegan
Kim
Diane
Sienna
Patrick
Patrick

Everyone else can be salvaged somehow

For me the best current characters are:

Grace
Trevor
Patrick (despite the fact he's leaving and the merry-go-round with Maxine)
Maxine (again despite the repetitive storyline)
Porsche
Reenie
Celine
Cleo
Simone
Louis

Those who IMO are beyond repair:

Sienna
Kim
Ste

And those who just need to go:

Diane
Leela
Scott (with Sinead going there's even less point to keep him around)
Lindsey
John-Paul (he has become a nasty hypocrite, the McQueens can last without him)

Everyone else could stay. I'd say the main reason so many of them are unlikeable is because of Bryan Kirkwood's pathetic vision for HO and his team of clueless writers. Unpopular opinion, but I think the Roscoes are somewhat salvageable. I like Joe and Ziggy is OK when he's serious. I'll hold out some hope that Charlie Clapham (Freddie) will improve as an actor the same way Danny Mac (Dodger) did. Just get Lindsey away from him and he might be more watchable.

The roscoe's, sienna and Nico, the Campbell's, Lomaxes, Ste and JP are all beyond repair tbh (even though Leela, Tegan, JP, Sienna and Ste can all act)

Diane, Nancy, Frankie, Esther, Darren, Tony, Cindy and Mercedes are all being let down by the writing but there's a future for them on the show IMO as they're amongst the strongest cast members

The Loveday's, Nana, new McQueen's, Maxine, Dirk and Jack are all mostly working quite well at the moment

The only characters I think really need to go are:

Ben
The Roscoes
The Lomaxes
Lindsey
Kim
Sinead (but she's leaving anyway)
Scott
Lockie
Nico
John Paul

The others are IMO salvageable although in some cases it would mean putting an end to an ongoing storyline. No more plots that set out to make Diane look awful. No more of Maxine running off to men who display similarly controlling/emotionally abusive behaviour as Patrick. No more treating Cindy's illness as a joke, etc.
