I stopped watching Corrie nearly two years ago now, when all the stupidity about Michelle Keegan and Rob and the roof was going on. Didn't watch for a while but when I did put it on realised I didn't give a stuff and haven't watched it since. But you can't avoid it if you go on the internet.

Now what my question is is this :-

Paula Lane, who is a bloody good actress, takes maternity leave and is told that her character is being written out.

Then we have the likes of Kym sodding Marsh, tabloid solicitor, can't act, disgrace, getting her contract renewed. What the frig is going on there?

Only thing I can say is that Paula is so good, she will get decent, credible work in future (like Katherine Kelly) and Kym, well, all she will be good for is high shoes, a constant march of dodgy blokes and flashing her thighs.

I think it was Paula Lane's choice to leave permanently.

Must admit I appreciated Paula's acting much more last night-she will be able to pick and choose work when the time is right for her.

I read somewhere that she didn't realise Kylie would be killed off.

As well as being super hot, Paula was the best actress in soap and played the best character in soap. She probably wanted too spread her wings and see what other roles she can play in future! Cos she sure as hell will be on TV again after she's had her baby! She's brilliant, she can be feisty/gobby, witty, caring/protective, dramatic, frantic. You name it she can do it!

I only see her as Kylie tho! I can't imagine her playing anyone else. She said in an interview she's already had work offers so they know how good she is

They wont ever get rid of shitty actors cos they'd never work in acting again. Cos they're that shit, who the hell else would have em? They don't want their cast to go jobless (in acting) so they have to keep em

she was written out because the actress decided to leave

I like Kym as michelle

anyways Paula said awhile ago she would have to leave as she was the killer that was about a yr ago, who knows if she would have decided to leave permanently had she not fallen pregnant or thats what everyones saying.

I kind of suspect she decided to leave a while ago to concentrate on her family hence the second pregnancy

Expecting them to constantly work round her pregnancies is hardly fair, and I think quite arrogant. It was their choice not to renew her contract.

All I know about Kym Marsh is that when she got the job she was married to Charley Webb's (another untrained actress) brother (Hollyoaks/EE) .

Let's just clarify this. It was Paula Lane who chose to leave permanently. It wasn't a case of her going on maternity leave and them axing her. She said she didn't know that the character would be killed off when she made that decision but also that she has no right to demand that they don't and she understood that it was a possibility. She seemed happy with her exit judging by the interviews.

You do know that 'interviews' are scripted and sent to publications? Sometimes written copy, sometimes taped recordings.

Yep. And especially if they got a sniff that she was sending out feelers for other jobs, I can see how they'd not have much incentive to save her character. She made the choice to leave, it was up to Corrie to figure out the best way to handle her departure. Besides that, like was being discussed in another thread, it would have been difficult to have Kylie go away, especially if the actress gave them no intention of ever returning. So even if she went to jail for Callum's murder or something...what do they do with David for all those years? Just have him hang around raising the kids who occasionally visit their mother in prison off screen? David is too young and part of too important of a main family to become a stagnant character like that.

As others have said, she expressed a desire to leave so she was written out.

Ms Marsh and Ms Cotton won't leave because Corrie is a dream job for them. They are happy and realistically know work will dry up if they leave. Both are good at courting the press, and Corrie can do with all the cheap publicity they can get.

Plus they are 'popular' outside these forums, big on Twitter and audience appreciation. So no producer will get rid and even if they tried to do so, they'd get overruled.

Temporarily, to mess up schedules by having another kid. She thought she was bigger than the programme.

Oh what a novelty another Kym Marsh hater!!

I agree that Paula Lane's a great actress but she wanted to move on, fair enough, her decision!!
As for Kym Marsh all manner of personal insults doesn't alter the fact that just because you can't stand her as a person for whatever reason doesn't automatically make her a bad actress!! She's perfectly fine & can actually be pretty good when given something decent to act!!

She did not request maternity leave, she said she was leaving and taking some time off acting. Sure, she expected to be found as the killer and likely gfet a lengthy punishment instead if being killed off but was still her choice to leave.
Since she has no desire to come back to corrie in the near future, it would be logical to kil her off. That way they do not have to address prison visits etc for years. It just doesn't make sense that she would leave David and the kids again

no, she was leaving permanently. it just happened to co-incide with her falling pregnant.

her contract renewal was due in may/June time and that is when she stopped filming.

It was a live interview from Paula on TV.

So having another kid means she thinks she's bigger than the programme? Your backwards thinking belongs in the past.

So? If they choose to leave the bosses can decide to kill the character off.

I couldn't bear to watch the awful character of Kylie when she first appeared on Coronation Street; then she improved beyond all measure - and now she has gone. Hey-Ho. I wonder if a new wife will be found for David, after a dignified time, he really needs a step-mother for his children. Max of course is now legally an orphan; will David be allowed to go ahead with the adoption, or will the boy's grandmother, Marion, claim him as she is his next of kin?

I can only judge on what i read and based on that i don't think much of Kym Marsh (she could be lovely to those who know her), but despite that I do think she's a relatively decent actress for a soap.

Paula Lane is very good and I'm sure she'll succeed elsewhere. I suppose they could have had her go to prison rather than kill her off of they wanted her back one day.

No she didn't. She decided to leave when her contract came to an end.

Do you accuse women in other jobs of "messing up the schedules" when they're pregnant. I expect not.

Being an actor is just a job and is covered by employment law, just the same as any other job is. Women are allowed maternity leave whatever job they're doing and can't be sacked for it. Any employer who sacks a woman for being pregnant is likely to find themselves in front of an employment tribunal and paying for it.

Paula had decided not to renew her contract when it ended and it coincided with her deciding to have another baby.

Perhaps you think actors should be forced to sign a new contract when their current one runs out because it will "mess up the schedules" if they don't. But of course if the opposite happens and the employer decides to write a character out and not offer the actor a new contract, presumably that's OK with you?

Well exactly!!
I'm neither defending nor criticising her as a person, since I've never met her but there's far too many on here claim she can't act simply because they don't like her as a person, based on whatever reason!!
As for Kylie, death was the only realistic way, given the corner they had backed the character into by making her Callum's killer!!
