CS: Steph and Andy
Does anyone else think they have the potential to be really good characters? They're criminally underused at the moment, all we see of them is in the Bisto, but if we had some storylines concerning their actual life (you know, not in a restaurant) I think they could be interested. They have good chemistry and it's nice that they haven't cheated (yet.)

I agree. Like you say they do have good chemistry and they work as a couple. I'd much rather watch storylines with them than with Fizz and Tyrone or with Sean moping around over Billy.

Pair of bores. All Steph's plots do is involve her looking miserable and working at the Bistro, and Andy is just...there. Wouldn't have minded seeing him at his zombie thing, that would be something different. But nope, more Bistro recycled scenes.

Andy in particular has been neglected since that strange imposter storyline finished. I'm surprised he has wanted to stay around.

Steph I love as a character & think she could have a lot more storyline action than she gets but the show is somewhat heavy on female characters in that age group (Alya, Rana, Kate, Sophie, Sinead, Gemma, etc) who are all at the moment vying for non existant storylines!!
For me though Steph is easily the most promising of that group & should be included more!! Andy for me has been a complete & utter nonentity since the notGavin thing fizzled to it's damp squib conclusion!! What I would like to see from him is a darker side to him altogether, surfacing when

Both seem to have no life outside the Bistro. Every scene is just them in the Bistro working and when Andy does want to have a life outside of work, Steph is physically unable to remove herself from the Bistro.
I think they are a boring couple but that is mainly due to the lack of sls. |

I agree, I love Steph, I like her feistiness, especially last Friday when she went up to Maria in the pub! That was great. Not sure how

Wouldn't that be just like what David will be doing soon though? Maybe having two similar storylines close together wouldn't be great?

Andy has been very underused i think he needs pushing to the front of the Show.

Good chemistry. Work as a couple. Oh dear, a sure thing that TPTB will be splitting them up before long. |

Both of them are great and together they are brilliant. Hopefully KO will give them an interesting storyline.

I find them both very dull. Maybe if they had more interesting stories that would make them more interesting.
The only time Steph shows any passion is when she running around looking after her brother. |

Apart from them both being criminals who should be in jail, it would be interesting to see if Steph the serial frowner and Andy the boring plank could manage to do else other than frown or be a plank.

What I want to know is why they haven't been given storylines? Have they been forgotten about? Are they not trusted to act well enough? Do TPTB earmark certain characters as being peripheral and mean to keep them there? Are there just too many characters to be given adequate screen time?. I would say that Steph is better than Andy, but surely given a storyline they could do a good job? If not, why are they there?

Ugh Steph and Luke just grate on me really. I have disliked Steph after she attacked Peter Barlow, blaming him for Tina dying, a girl she knew for 5 seconds, also the faces she pulls annoy me. I also don't know how her and Andy are still employed at the Bistro, all they do is have couple issues while they are actually supposed to be working.
Andy has potential but they need to get him away from Steph. Put him with Sarah or Sinead or maybe Eva and introduce some family for him, rather than him still hanging onto his fake imposter family |

Good description of Stephanie would be serial frowner. Even naughty pictures on the mobile phone couldn't spark them into life |

Andy is a prime example of story coming before character, something Corrie does 99% of the time these days.

Steph who seems to want the prestige of being a manager at the Bistro but none of the responsibility and is always doubting herself over whether she is capable of doing the job needing the constant reassurance from others that she is and Andy whose only role in their relationship is to reassure Steph that she is capable of the job and taking second fiddle because Steph's job at the Bistro is more important to her than what Andy is.
