Carmel Kazemi - unsure if she's a regular or a guest at this point
Les - He's alright, would like to know what he's meeting up with Claudette for...

Tina Carter - I like her scenes with Shirley, Billy, etc... And think she works better away from the Carters IMO.

Linda Carter - A great addition. I much prefer happy Linda to sad Linda, although it was very understandable with the whole rape ordeal.

Mick Carter - Another great addition, very popular with the public, but was overused for ages.

Nancy Carter - Annoying, boring and the actress is fairly bad.

Lee Carter - By far the most dull character in the show. SO boring!!!

Aunt Babe - Intriguing and Anetter Badland plays her brilliantly.

Charlie Cotton - Was great until Nick died. Now annoying and utterly pointless. Good riddance to shit.

Donna - Funny, and I love her, but let's face it she's pretty pointless.

Pam - Brilliant!!! I wanna give her a hug.

Claudette - Intriguing and great!

Vincent - Boring.

Buster - Makes me sleepy and looks like he needs a bath. :/

Paul - I feel a bit sorry for him.

Carmel - Fantastic!

Kush - Zzz.

Les Coker - A weak actor, but I like the old goat, let's see more of him being an old rascal
Tina Carter - Became boring since paired up with Sonia, she had potential it's just they never seem to know what to do with her
Linda Carter - probably my favourite addition, I hope she sticks around
Mick Carter - I don't actually mind Mick, they need to expand more on him being a Frank abut her type character
Nancy Carter - She's alright, she desperately needs a friend though
Aunt Babe. - I like her but am fed up of her coming and goings, she's never around long enough for us to find out what her motivations are
Charlie Cotton. - He was really interesting to start with but then the character became so bland, being paired up with Roxy didn't help
Lee Carter. - Probably the character I like the least
Donna Yates - Needs to be used more
Pam Coker - Remeber when Pauline fournd out about Mrs Hewitt and compare that to the performance Pam gave when she found out about Les. A good supporting character but keep her in the background
Kush A bit of a wet drip, he and Martin should be livening up the market a bit more
Buster Briggs - I like old Buster
Vincent Hubbard - Wears earrings so cannot take him seriously
Claudette Hubbard - She hasn't quite found her voice
Paul Coker. - A bit of an oddball but I have no issues with him so far
Carmel - I like her

Les Coker - I like him, I just hope he's not cheating on the lovely Pam
Tina Carter - Not a fan, if she died tomorrow I wouldn't care.
Linda Carter- Ugh, bored. I hope she gets justice but other than that not really a fan of her.
Mick Carter- Used to like him, now I'm glad we haven't seen much of him these past few weeks, hopefully it stays that way.
Nancy Carter- Can sometimes be annoying, overall I'm neutral
Aunt Babe- Hate with a passion, she needs to join Stan
Charlie Cotton- Again if he died I wouldn't care
Lee Carter- Hate, hate. hate.
Donna Yates- Grown to like
Pam Coker- Love, she's lovely.
Kush Kazemi- Meh
Buster Briggs- Like

Claudette Hubbard- Like

Les Coker - He is very odd and his facial expressions make me nervous. He always looks like he's on the verge of a heart attack.
Tina Carter - extremely annoying woman-child. She and Sonia are possibly the worst couple ever.
Linda Carter - Wonderful. A true breath of fresh air, and one of the two Carters that actually don't make me want to smash my head against a brick wall.
Mick Carter - his voice and mannerisms are grating. If I have to listen to him whisper "Ell" or inappropriately stroke somebody's head again I shall scream.
Nancy Carter - irritating loudmouth who needs to keep her nose out of other people's business.
Aunt Babe - Nasty old trout. I really cannot stand this character.
Charlie Cotton - Boring. Nothing else to add here.
Lee Carter - A sweet, caring and very likeable young man. Along with Linda, Lee is the saving grace of the Carter family.
Donna Yates - Nasty.
Pam Coker - I don't mind her, but overall I find the Cokers quite boring.
Kush Kazemi - He kind of works as a secondary character. Not massively interesting but not offensively bad either.
Buster Briggs - Deserves more than being Shirley's lapdog. Honestly, why he puts up with her treating him like shit I will never know.
Vincent Hubbard - Laughable wannabe gangster. I cheered when Phil knocked him out.
Claudette Hubbard - OTT character and actress.
Paul Coker - Sneaky, and a troublemaker.
Carmel Kazemi - Have seen too little to form an opinion, but she seems ok.

Buster Briggs - I've warmed to him. Better without Shirley
Vincent Hubbard - A joke of a character

Les Coker - He's okay I suppose, no strong feelings about him but I'm sure there's more to this Claudette story than meets the eye.
Tina Carter - Once was my favourite Carter, get her away from Sonia and she'll be great again.
Linda Carter - I like her, it's a shame what her story turned into.
Mick Carter - Mixed feelings; annoys me a lot with the feud stuff but when he's in everyday scenes and family stuff I quite like him.
Nancy Carter - Gets on my nerves sometimes but she's okay.
Aunt Babe - I can't say I've missed her during this hiatus.
Charlie Cotton - I like him and it's a shame he's off, if the Roxy thing didn't happen it would've been lovely for Ronnie to finally have her family.
Lee Carter - Not that interesting in all honesty, we'll see if this story changes that.
Donna Yates - Great, especially love when her softer side comes out - she's really grown on me.
Pam Coker - She's great, love her. I could watch her busybodying around all day!
Kush Kazemi - Wasn't much of a fan at first but I've grown to like his and Shabnam's relationship.
Buster Briggs - Again wasn't much of a fan at all when he first appeared (couldn't see what everyone was raving about), then when he returned I still didn't like him but he's beginning to grow on me as he's the only one speaking sense in that setup.
Vincent Hubbard - Pantomime in the gangster stuff, but I like him with his little family with Kim.
Claudette Hubbard - Not made much of an impression yet, potential though.
Paul Coker - Boring, only really like his relationship with Pam.
Carmel Kazemi - AMAZING. Make her a regular right now.

Sorry Mr A, I can't be bothered! They're all a bit meh. Don't mind Kush and Mick/Linda as vastly scaled down landlord/lady though.

I agree actually. The new creations aren't a patch on the classic characters in the current cast.

Charlie had potential and Mick/Linda could be a modern Frank/Angie but something just feels lacking. Maybe my soap watching days are coming to an end.I only rarely feel engaged with stories/characters. The last few weeks have been good though.

agree, Charlie was completely ruined the second he slept with Roxy

Mick and Linda could have been great but they were constantly shoved down our throats when they first arrived so much so that I cannot stand watching them on screen anymore

Yes, there's a lot of truth in that. I think Charlie became surplus to requirements when Vincent was created. I want to like Mick and Linda as I like the actors but I did feel that the show was desperate for me to love them and it backfired.

Les Coker - Odd but not in an interesting way. I have not got much else to say about him.
Tina Carter - She's less annoying than she was but still somewhat grating. I think Sonia and her work well together.
Linda Carter - I don't understand the love on here for her. She's not annoying but just bland.
Mick Carter - The character's a nice bloke and it was a surprise to see Danny Dyer play that type of role. I can't say he's been exciting to watch but he's better than Linda.

Nancy Carter - My favourite Carter but she doesn't engage me very much.
Aunt Babe - A female Archie rehash without the rape and general menace. I'm not interested in anything she does.
Charlie Cotton - He's very bland.
Lee Carter - He's not the most charismatic of characters. I don't rate his depression storyline thus far and I don't care about his relationship with Whitney for multiple reasons.

Donna Yates - A sharp-tongued know-it-all, though at least she has a personality.
Pam Coker - She's as bad as her husband. I couldn't care less about her.
Kush Kazemi - like Linda, I don't understand the popularity he has on here. I feel the affair was good for him as it moved him away from the good-looking, muscular nice guy, Mr Perfect schtick he had going on. He's still dull though.

Buster Briggs - I would have preferred him to play Phil's antagonist as I think he would do a better job than Richard Blackwood is doing. I don't care about his relationship with Shirley and Dean.

Vincent Hubbard - The worst one on this list. The guy got his role based purely on his looks and whatever name recognition that lingers on from the 90's. Below-par actor, even worse character. His feud with Phil is poor, his relationship with Kim is the visual equivalent of pulling teeth and I don't know when they're going to resume the equally unappealing Ronnie angle. In the words of Mo Mouse, I loathe him.

Claudette Hubbard - A generic sassy female who's only distinctive feature is her race.
Paul Coker - I like the competitive side to his character. He's the most interesting guy on the list so far.
Carmel Kazemi - Like Claudette, there's little that feels fresh about her but she's more palatable than Claudette. I don't want her to become a regular character.


In summary, Paul's the only one I'd keep.

Les Coker: Awful hammy actor, boring character. He adds nothing to the show. Plus, I don't care what his and Claudette's boring secret is.
Tina Carter: Dull character who's bearable in a supporting role. Don't care about her.
Linda Carter: The best Carter. She has the most potential and personality out of all of them. But, they mostly squander said potential. Needs to be less isolated.
Mick Carter: Boring, overused and bordering on caricature at times. The Carters don't feel like they're part of the same show. He needs a lot of work to make him remotely interesting.
Nancy Carter: Annoying and judgemental, but showed signs of warmth with Tamwar and the epilepsy story. Suffers from a lack of story momentum and a lack of likeability.
Aunt Babe: Supposed to be layered, but is only ever bitter and nasty. Seriously unlikeable. Should stay gone.
Charlie Cotton: Boring, dull and bland. Shame another young viable male character has sucked. Won't be missed.
Lee Carter: Seriously dull. I've tried to like him, but there's nothing of interest there. The depression story had some potential, but it's been lost by a lack of momentum. 1.5 years on and he's still irrelevant. Failure is not the word.
Donna Yates: Pointless and boring.
Pam Coker: Nice, likeable supporting character. But, I just don't care about the Cokers.
Kush Kazemi: I like him. He's a good regular guy played by a decent actor. He could be a stronger character if he manned up at times. I like him and Shabnam together.
Buster Briggs: I've warmed to him since he developed a moral compass with the Jade story. He's way better away from toxic Shirley.
Vincent Hubbard: Disappointingly boring. I don't care about him and Kim's contrived set-up.
Claudette Hubbard: Poorly created character who doesn't seem to know what she's supposed to be. She should be interesting and buzzing, but instead she's generic and bland.
Paul Coker: He's like a 90s reject who's up himself. He's yet to demonstrate any likeable qualities, and is quite disappointing.
Carmel Kazemi: I like her in small doses. But, she's very Peggy-esque in places, which makes it feel like they're trying to recapture something that's long gone. FYI: she's recurring at the moment, and thank goodness for that.

Sadly, most of his new creations have been poor and/or underdeveloped for a long time. The only character I really loved was Aleks, and he was thrown under the bus for Charlie, which turned out to be a pointless decision.
