like how they brought in characters and places from Kylie's past: Callum, Gemma, Macca, Callums mum and the dog and gun pub

well now that Gemma is a show regular and away from the dog and gun and estate i think they should bring in her family

ok so what do u think?

yeah i think that too. Ok Kylie and Gemma (and Callum) all have the same background but i swear we've never seen Gemma's family or maybe I'm wrong

also I'm surprised they never brought in Kylie's Dad tbh!

It would be worth exploring the character.

deffo yeah! she's my fave character now Kylie is gone. Gemma's awesome!

even when she was part of Callum's gang running round after him like a lapdog i still thought Gemma had potential as a character. not like Macca, he was just a pointless randomer. when she first appeared Gemma seemed kinda thick and it was clear from the start she wasn't an evil thug like Callum and Macca, she did the things she did cos she wanted to impress Callum

i think like Kylie, Gemma got caught in a bad crowd with Callum but Gemma and Kylie both got softened by the writers

Only if they recast Gemma. Her acting is so 'pantomime' it is embarrassing to watch.

I think its a good idea, would you move them on to the street or would they live on the estate like she does?

why would they do that?

there's nothing wrong with her acting. she plays her part well. if u want shitty actors, look at Caz, Maria, Phelan, Tracy, Amy etc.

move them onto the street

soon Gemma will probably have moved in with Rita anyway and she works in the kebab shop, so yeah street, but they came off the estate first off

So what family is getting kicked out of their house so Gemma's fam can move in?

My vote is kick the remaining Nazirs to the curb

Gemma doesn't strike me as someone who's had much of a family life tbh!! I yhink she works better without a family!! Plus chavvy families have been done to death on Corrie in the past with the Battersby's, Windasses etc!!

nah i don't think so. i never went after anyone who didn't like Kylie, and i know ppl have different opinions anyway. still miss Kylie tho the show seems kinda different without her

here's my corrie opinion that no one will agree with:

my all time fave character is Kylie, my current fave character is Gemma, and i like everyone on the show except Macca, Clayton, Phelan, Caz, and Amy. i can't stand those characters! Tracy is ok sometimes, Maria is boring and doesn't deserve big stories like she's got atm (but then again, maybe it's Caz who drags her down cos she's ok in little scenes) and Cathy and Anna are hit and miss, sometimes they can b ok, sometimes i can't stand them

i like everyone else tho. don't understand why ppl hate Sean, Fiz, Dev, Michelle, etc. i like them and always have done

No thanks.

The last thing we need is a whole troupe of Gemmas being parachuted into the show from nowhere.

As ndd says, Corrie have done the 'chavvy' family stereotype to death over the years, it's time for something new.

I think it'd be pretty hilarious if a bunch of Gemma clones started falling form the sky down onto the cobbles...it'd definitely be a soap first

I'd love Gemma's family, they could be the new Battersbys.

I think they should be "middle class" and "normal" that I think would be a different route for Corrie.
