So other than coming in being Staceys secret brother he has done absolutely nothing!

his friends are long gone and he barely features on screen

Watching tonights episode I thought should they give him a love interest? who could it be?

then I saw that Pam thread and I thought, better chararcters have been axed (all the cokers and I disliked 2/3's of them for their poor characterisation)

so should he be axed instead?

I'd like him to stay so we can get to know him more because as you say...he's done nothing! TPTB put a lot of effort in introducing him by adding those outside characters and his mother so there must be something they can with him.

But then again...I say all that and they axe Christine and I wanted to see more of her out of interest.

Not naked no.

He just seems a genuinely, friendly guy who has a story to tell.

Yes but imagine Lauren and Max's reaction when Abi tells them Kyle used to be a woman. I reckon that could make for good drama.

He is slightly cardboard imo and I don't think the actor is very good

I agree, I am not impressed with the actors capabilities or should I say his lack of capability

Develop, as usual DTC introduced him the way British rail trains used to run and then forgot about him

That's my impression too. I'm sorry to say this, but it kind of looks to me like tokenism, or box-ticking. Compare Hollyoaks, who introduced a transgender character (Mrs St Claire) played by a transgender actress around the same time as EE introduced Kyle. I admit I fully expected that this would prove to be simply a case of hiring any old transgender actress just for the sake of it (ie tokenism). However, I very quickly realized that Mrs St Claire was a good, solid, and ultimately likable character, played by a talented and charismatic actress in Annie Wallace. In my view, she is the best addition to the Hollyoaks cast in a very long time, and she has proved to be very popular generally. It doesn't seem to me that Kyle has made such a strong impact.

I don't think the actor is that good, & he does not make a believable male (imo) His thighs & hips still look very feminine. men normally have thinner thighs. In any case, I don;t care what they do with him, as long a it is not too stupid or far fetched.

I like having him around but it would be good to see him have a proper storyline. No doubt the new producer will forget about him and axe him because "they've done everything they can with him".

It would be beyond appalling if they axe him and trot that line out

I'd say keep him as a background character for a while and see how he fares and if he improves then give him a proper storyline.

I really wouldn't like anyone else to be axed.

I say axe because I have no strong feelings either way and in my opinion a character should elicit an emotional response whether positive or negative.

Kyle was obviously bought in for the secret Slate story with no real plan outside of that story.

bit like Paul coker.

I said Axe too but like I said above they would be wrong to actually do it, they are meant to be the creatives surely they can find him something to do

Would Phil sort of think that's an improvment?

A character played by a not very good actor. A pointless character that isn't as well written or well acted as Hayley in Coronation Street was. The worst thing to happen with Kyle was lack of planning about what to do with him. DTC did that a lot with characters.

The comparison to Hayley is the most random thing I've ever heard!! They're entirely different characters fulfilling very different purposes and story lines (or lack of story-lines in Kyle's case atm!). I can only assume you're comparing them because they both happen to be transsexual which is insulting (unintentionally I'm sure). Might as well say he's not as good a character as Emily Bishop (they both have eyebrows!).

Jay and Abi were a great little couple, but Abi has morphed into a spiteful and self-pitying little cow lately- best avoided. Jay has had his troubles and I hate all the drug stuff, but he is still the slightly hard-edged sweetheart he's always been (love how he's supported Ben lately, even though he's been disowned by the Mitchells), and deserves a nice girlfriend.
