How do you feel that Andrea has gone?

I didn't like the character at all - found her an annoying know-all. The storyline with her weird husband was just boring.

Don't think she and Lloyd were convincing and had no chemistry.
Though Lloyd is no loss - very dull character with forced storylines.

I can't say I either liked or disliked her to be honest, she was just sort of there, if that makes any sense. she was kind of harmless though.

"How do I feel about her going?" can't say I'm going to notice

I couldn't stand Andrea! I am so glad that her and Lloyd have gone; they were both useless.

Her being pregnant at her age and swanning off for a new life, I know this sounds ageist, and I don't mean it that way but it was just a ridiculous story line to get rid of two rubbish characters. The fact that they are rubbish doesn't really bother me that much I'm just happy they gone but if it were characters that I liked and they came up with such a poor storyline I'd be a bit miffed. judging by Andrea's character before she met Lloyd the last thing she wanted was a baby and to start all over again; she was just trapped in a loveless marriage or with a guy that she didn't love any more. I just find her character and the whole thing ridiculous.

She overreacted and all she did was giggle. Good riddance as you say.

I never took to the character and found her to be a real non-entity. She didn't really have much chemistry with Lloyd and the storyline with her husband was one of the worst in the show's history. No great loss and she won't be remembered in years to come.

I agree, Andrea was a terrible, the whole story with her cheating on her husband with Lloyd was horrible and made her look like a terrible person. Lloyd wasn't much better, the only reason why he will be missed is because now Steve has no friends.

Too old for a baby? I thought she was mid-30s?

Didn't mind her. I like the actress so that helps. Sadly, the rooftop episode will forever taint my memory of her. Truly, Corrie's 'Joey Speaks French' moment.

She grew on me.
Didn't really like her to begin with but liked her with Lloyd.
Sorry to see them both go, to be honest.

LOVED Neil, the weird Husband

Only the rooftop episode?
What about her other hideous flop attempts at comedy like the drunken karaoke and breaking the armchair in streetcars?!

I feel sorry for the actress who had to play Andrea.

It was an unfulfilling role.

She didn't get the best of lines, and I still don't buy it Andrea would choose to go off into the Sunset with Lloyd.

Having said that Andrea was

The definition of deadwood , no wonder she didn't want to go she probably thought she would have a job for life along with the other deadwood on the show

The episode with Andrea and Neil on the Rovers roof was genuinely the worst episode of Corrie I've ever seen. That was the moment it hit rock bottom for me under Blackburn.

Oh sorry you might be right. I thought she had a daughter that was at uni etc and that part of her life was over. I guess you can never be too old for a baby if your body allows you to get pregnant but I meant it in the sense that that part of her life was over.

Anyway who cares. She's gone! Hip hop hooray!

In a behind the scenes clip before the live Hayley said that she had to carry a tray of drinks in and was worried that she'd spill them, Andrea didn't do that in the live ep, did she?

Never thought Andrea was quite as terrible as she was made out, I found her largely average, annoying in the beginning but she grew on me.

How will I feel now shes gone?: Indifferent, I wish the actress good luck in whatever she pursues next, in a couple of years time I might say Andrea who?

Agree with the other comments that the low of her character was the rooftop episode, that wasnt just her fault though, the moment that sticks out for me is Liz screeching about not moving the ladder.

Yes she did have a tray at one point. She didn't have to walk with them far though.

Could not stand the woman ever since I saw her gurning on Dancing on Ice.

Glad to see the back of the pair of them. Things can only get better now.

I thought Neil was Ace, they could of got so much more mileage out of him and his stalkery ways. Tim being on Sallys Roof just made it better

As for whole again 😂😂😂😂

I liked Andrea, in fact once she got friendly with Liz and Michelle I thought she was a great character, the other night when they locked Steve and Lloyd in the cellar her scenes with Michelle were good

I never really got the the hate for Andrea, I can't BEAR the actress but the character was alright, and they could have definitely done more with her and weirdo Neil, plus the daughter never made an appearance either. The way she was brought in and got close to Steve then cooled and moved straight onto Lloyd never really sat right with me and I get the impression there was a definite direction for the character when she was introduced that was later hastily changed, at that point I think they lost interest and floundered, lurching from one stupid story to the next.

That gave her more to do but she was always secondary character and certainly not great.

Not to mention her targeting Steve before she switched her attentions to Lloyd. I think she was just desperate for ANY man to replace poor hapless Neil with.
