Does anyone here like the new Michelle
When i was watching the episode tonight i was wondering. Who is that woman sitting on the bench. And then realised it was Michelle when Sharon was crying and hugging her up. Well i suppose i would have to get used to her

I think she is good (I have never watched old Michelle so I can't compare)

She only had a couple of lines, too early to tell

For God's sake people give her a chance.
I have watched as a young teenager from day one and I am willing to see how things develop - look at Mark for example or how a walking pile of super-excrement replaced the layered human being that was once the Philth in the late 90's. |

Yes I like her. Or at least I'm going to give her a chance.
Am loving SOC's work so far. But Dot being all alone broke my heart. When she started hearing the voices from the past I was sure they were going to kill her. Michelle will be good for Sharon Ian and Martin and maybe Mark will return too so it's all good in my book. |

Whether you have,seen, oe remember the original or not, it is far too early to juudge the recast. |

Don't know she had like 2 lines. I'll decide when she's been in it longer.

She sat on Arthur's bench and stared at Pauline's house. It was obvious it was Michelle from that point (for people who didn't read the spoiler).
I liked her return, it wasn't TOO underplayed but wasn't a dramatic entrance either. Just right. |

So Finally after 6/7 Months we have seen comments made by Sean O'Connor and it took a Michelle Fowler return for it to happen, I wonder will it June/July before we hear from him again?

Not watched the episode yet but got to give her a chance. I thought the new Martin was awful originally but he's now my favourite. Need to wait and see I think.

Jeez, she's had less than a minute's screen time, give her a chance folks
![]() First impressions - good. Michelle was a great character, so it's great she's back, even with a re cast (very brave of the producers btw). I only hope the writing is consistent with how her character used to be - takes no shit but is prone to royally messing things up every now and then. |

Anyone saying 'give her a chance' doesn't understand tv or serial shows. Simple as that
They've never sunk lower than this. Am I'm disgusted, and very very sad |

To me Michelle waa Tully but it's been 20 years and sorry,I think we do need to give it a chance. This is less of an issue to me than Kathy returning from the dead. And I loved Kathy. |

Speaking as somebody that not only watched EE from the start but had watched Sue Tully in Grange Hiil for 5 years prior to that and is much the same age as her characters so really did grow up with her, why is it worse than any other recast?

I mean here we are on the eve of Christmas - a day where people celebrate the (supposed) birth of a guy who is so important to them despite it being 2000 years ago. I can confidently state exactly how many people will be talking about Michelle Fowler's recast in 2000 years: Zero. |

I personally think the character of Michelle was great and she potentially has a lot to give. And the reason Michelle was great was because of the writing for her - that's what made her a good character. So this re cast, whilst not ideal, is the only way to get this great character back on screen. And I'm chuffed about it. Yep, it would have been brilliant to have Susan Tully back, but it's not to be. So let's just enjoy seeing NuMichelle back on screen. |
