CS What characters do people like?
I was curious which characters people like? and which have the potential to be more likeable if the writers gave more stories and changed the direction of their character?
I like; Leanne Nick Todd Roy David Bethany Sarah Gail Audrey Tracy Mary Jenny Bradley Sally Tim Gemma There are some characters that I neither like or dislike which I hope KO and the writers do something with as they could have potential depending on the direction they were taken in. In this category I would include people like; Anna Faye Gary Kevin Tyrone Luke Andy Eva Yasmeen Freddie Erica Johnny |

Current likes ( favourites have a *):-
Audrey* Bethany* Craig David* Faye Gail Gary* Jenny* Kevin Kirk Leanne* Maria* Mary Roy* Sarah* Steph Tim* Todd* Tyrone All these characters I love as they are though I would vastly prefer Tyrone away from Fiz for both characters' sake!! Potential to join top group with a little tweaking of their character, in some cases back to what it was originally (looking at Steve, Sophie & Eileen in particular here!!) or some better material to work with!! :- Aidan Alex Andy Anna Beth Billy Eileen Eva Gemma Luke Michelle Simon Sinead Sophie Steve Zeedan There are only a handful I intensely dislike & would love to see the back of, the rest I am largely indifferent to!! |

Which characters do I like?
ummmm....Todd and Phelan....obviously David Roy Rita (long history with the show) Ken Freddie (much to my surprise) Audrey Tim Norris Jenny Bradley Johnny (he's slowly coming into his own) the rest are disasters......particularly in the Rovers |

Hopefully they can turn her around I know we all complain a lot but that cast alone, without the ones you haven't mentioned, if written well could soon turn the show back to what it used to be, warm, funny & With just the right mix of drama & comedy!! Emily is another of my likes who I forgot to mention, a character who has always been able to do drama when necessary, yet possesses a great sense of humour & a wicked way with 'put downs' to people like Norris or in the old days Percy!! ![]() Edit: Loving the positive idea of this thread Lisa_Charlene!! ![]() Far too many 'who would you axe' & 'which characters do you hate' threads!! |

Corrie's problem seems to be they have a large group of characters who if they left they would not be missed. Not by me anyway. Too many people that bring nothing to the programme. There needs to be a focus on making these people either less prominent, or turning them into more interesting characters.

I see the love of my life Izzy seems to be getting short changed in the like department. This undemanding woman who in my opinion has the most chuckable chin on the street. She has her problems of course just like everyone else but she doesn't shout about them like she was the paperboy outside Rita's store. The men should be fighting in the street to win her affection. My heart beats a little faster when I see her coming on screen. A great asset to the show. Put her on the like and love list for me.

I love Sarah. The fake ass bitch that appeared from Milan is a distant memory and she's back to her old self, thank God!
I also like Maria! She seems to get a lot of stick but I don't get why! Phelan is disgusting but the actor is good and he's an interesting character IMO Todd is also much more likeable these days and I do like that he's also done a 180 from the character he originaly reappeared as! |

David- Jack P Shepard is the best actor on the show IMO,
Tim- He should never, ever leave. He is the funniest character they have by a mile. Phelan- The sooner he destroys Eileen the better, I reckon he should bunk up with Mary. She could tame him. Michael- Gutted that he's leaving, I love it when David takes the piss out of him. |

well i actually like everyone on the show atm except Clayton, Macca, Phelan, Caz, Cathy, Anna, i don't really like Anna that much tbh, I can't stand her meddling and bitchyness! I'm not too sure about Sophie neither she's kinda annoying!
the ones above are the only characters i don't like. i absolutely hate the first 4! everyone else is ok tho. my fave character now Kylie is gone is Gemma she's great! i love the other comedy characters too! Tim, Mary, Beth, Kirk, Steve, Norris, etc. |

By comparison, Izzy & Fiz can be irritating when they have their dim moments. ![]() Rita is solid and trustworthy, but Audrey can be tactless. I like Steph & Andy for endlessly scoring points against eachother (but more often Steph against Andy)! ![]() I like Steve for thinking he's powerful but often daunted and prone to stick his head in the sand. Liz doesn't treat Steve much more like a grown-up than Gail treats David.
