Megan and Harriet are little more than named extras nowadays and a waste of talent. How would you like to see them used? Exploring Megan's relationships with Eliza and Frank? Giving Harriet more scenes with Bob?

I always think those two are the same person.

I thought that was what the thread was about Lol

I thought that Harriet would have ended up with Bob - that seemed to be the way the story was heading at some point last year.

Megan got on well with Jermaine, but after the Belle storyline i suppose they ran out of ideas about what to do with his character.

I still cling onto the hope that Declan might come back one day, and then he and Megan can join forces again (getting Home Farm back might be too much of an ask though).

I thought Harriet would have featured more in the Ashley storyline. She was very helpful at the start but I dont think we've seen her near Ashley's for quite some time.

Brenda is the same.

What is the point of them even being there?!

I think Gaynor F should have left around the same time Jason Merrells did. At least then she'd have got a good exit.

Megan is completely wasted. Gaynor Faye is a good actress and a local lass, they should do more with her. But I've never liked Harriet, I think the actress is really poor and that's why she's given nothing. She'd be top of my axe list.

It could just be that the lady who plays Harriet has never had the opportunity to showcase her skills. Perhaps a way to kill two birds with one stone would be to have the two as friends and give them scenes that way.

It's the same with Bob and Brenda and the non-existent twins. If there's one criticism of Emmerdale, it's the total imbalance in character utilisation.

Yes, I like both and would happily see more.

And I'd love it if Brenda became an actual character again, instead of a cartoon. Carly coming in was a shot in the arm for Bob and Brenda at first, but now Carly is stuck with Marlon. I'd like to see more of her with Bob/Brenda.

Megan worked well as partners with Leyla before they messed that up with the Jai affair. Maybe they could do something completely different with her, like employing Belle or Finn or becoming friends with Bernice.

Harriet is fantastic - I loved those scenes where she misread Emma's guilt as grief. Maybe she could help out some of the lost souls of the village, like Kerry, or uncover Frank's evil doing, or support Rhona, or stop Gabby going off the rails again.

I would like Megan's brother, Declan, to return and be part of her family and Eliza's. Is Harriet still a 'private eye'? This doesn't fit in with her being a minister of the church.

These are three really accomplished actors who are given rubbish (along with Lesley Duncan) in favour of silly break ups and I would love to see them in a better light.

I too thought we would have seen more of Harriet in this storyline concerning Ashley, though with them being together at one time maybe they don't want to push things too far in that direction. It was quite upsetting when Ashley thought Harriet was his wife some weeks ago.

I think they should put Harriet with Dan as she would treat him a lot better than Kerry

Perhaps one of them could be paired with Rishi?

Is Megan's mother still alive? Patricia Routledge would make a brilliant addition to the cast there.

Do they need to be paired with anyone, the world does have single people who are very happy being single you know.

I'm one of them - but soap being soap, people are seldom single for very long!

That's true, no doubt Harriet will end up having an affair with Bob another soap favourite.

Rodney is single, Eric is single, Rishi is single, Sandy is single... not much to choose from
