Corrie has too many DEADWOOD characters, there people who have been in it for years and do nothing like Fiz, Maria, Chesney, etc. The soap needs a major revamp, and needs to axe a lot of the characters, like what Matthew Robinson did in Eastenders in late 90s, when he axed about 20 characters, and revamped the soap.

These characters need to go.
1. Nick Tilsley (pack him back off to Canada)
2. Roy Cropper (kill him off, pointless now without Hayley)
3. Robert Preston
4. Dev Alahan (Kill him off, bring back Mad Maya)
5. Maria Connor (Wooden actress, she had her day, self life expired)
6. Fiz Brown (Used to be hilarious back in noughties, but now is just a misery)
7. Chesney Brown (Pointless)
8. Gary Windass (Pointless)
9. Anna Windass (Boring character)
10. Izzy Armstrong (Boring character)
11. Sinead Tinker (Yawn)
12. Luke Britton (Yawn pack him off with Maria)
13. Michael Rodwell (Yeah I know he's going, but I hope he dies in it)
14. The Nazirs (What do they do at all) (Yasmeen, Alya and Zeedan need to wave tatty bye to the cobbles).
15. Rana Habeeb (Yawn)
16. Freddie Smith (What is the point of him at all)

Forgot to add.

17. Brian Packham (What is the point of his return at all). I hope he gets kill off in it, I am stick of him turning up every few years like a bad smell.

I have now grown to like Cathy Matthews and Alex Warner. I love Cathy and Alex with the Auntie and Nephew bond, I love Gemma and Alex as a couple. I love Caz, good soap villain.
I like the new Connors, Erica Holroyd is hilarious and Billy the vicar. Billy and Todd work well as a couple.

Half of those characters need a decent story not the axe...

Sorry I disagree they need axing. To be fair the storyline with Maria and Caz is a good storyline.

An axe is not sufficient, this job requires a chainsaw.

I'd disagree, this storyline is awful and one of many things wrong with the show

I agree it's a great storyline and Maria is far from deadwood.

Yay, another one of these type of threads.

Why not come up with a solution (like improving the writing) as axing characters in the past has never changed a thing. But of course it is easier to come up with the same type of thread and axing list done a dozen times before.

Just because you don't like XYZ doesn't mean they are deadwood and need to be axed. Other people will like them and would be annoyed at their demise; I wholeheartedly disagree with your top 5 for example.
Maybe some of these characters need a bit of direction, a few more layers to them and some decent storylines, and that is the sign of a good producer. If KO can give some of these characters a fresh impetus then that's better than coming in and axing half the cast!

Sorry but they don't

These characters are deadwood and need axing pronto. They've tried giving them decent storylines but it isn't riveting television

Of course you have to get past Kieron Roberts as executive producer and he likes characters preserved in aspic

100% agree. Get some hotties in and get rid of all the annoying deadwood. Trust me though, a producer will never be brave enough to come in and wield a huge axe on the show. It is the waiting room for actors to die.

Best chance of it happening is when a new producer takes over, like SOC just did with EE.

I just really disagree and since when did someone's opinion of a character being boring mean they are deadwood?

It doesn't!

Corrie has a good cast they just need to be utilised properly and the creative and writing needed Improvement which is happening and ongoing, they have some good stories on at the mo and coming up
