So now we gave another Karen/Kylie/Becky/Maddie character in the show - in as a villain and will no doubt be a saint before too long.

Surely, we the viewers are entitled to a better written imaginative plot then going over the same story time and time again.

Completely agree. And they are always introduced in the same way, local do-Gooder ahem Hayley/Sophie/Billy sees no wrong in them and continues forcing them upon us until they fit into the community.

Corrie writing is so lazy! Continued rehashing of storylines is gone beyond a joke, if it's not someone being wrongly accused of something and the whole street turning their back on them, despite knowing them for years it's a storyline where the local do-good reaches out to some diamond in the rough. Strongly thinking of giving up on Corrie, it's been stuck in limbo now for about 10 years.

You can tell
Spoiler
will be an out and out villain with no redeeming qualtiies whatsoever, whereas thief Shona will be portrayed as a poor innocent little snowflake who wasn't bad all along.

The fact Billy moves her into a house (not even his) across the road from someone she stole from makes it even more stupid. Mind you, so was Sophie moving Maddie into Sally's house which she robbed and assaulted Tim in. This story seems like a partial rehash of that, although it's Billy stalking this time.

For some reason she reminds me of Judy Mallett

Her and David will surely get together at some point.

Euch, please no! This sour-faced charisma vacuum has no place in Corrie. I also really can't stand Billy, wish they'd get rid.

Between Billy and Shona there's more ham acting than what was on Kens plate at the Christmas dinner. But I'm still jealous of Billy's teeth. I should be so lucky. Bastard.

Charisma vacuum...

I know Billy is/was a priest, but his bleeding heart on this one is a bit of a stretch.

If Billy wants to start his own hostel for thieves and vagrants, he should first get his own place. Even then, it will be boring to watch as we have seen it all before with Maddie.

Shona is going to be related to someone already on the street and my money is on King Phelan. He will come home to Grimshaw Manor and get the shock of his life when he finds his daughter has been living in his castle.

Yes, this in spades. And as others have also said, why does Billy expect Eileen to take a total stranger in when nobody knows anything about her so far (apart from her being a thief).

I quite like her. I don't want her getting with David as a replacement Kylie but she is a million times better than the horrendous Gemma.

Now you mention it they do look a bit similar and have a similar earthiness in their characters.

I also prefer Shona to Gemma but also hope that David & Shona do not get together. I think it would compromise his devotion to unique Kylie for him to date anyone any time soon.

Yeah, that's true. At least she doesn't over act or have a really grating voice or comes across really thick.

She gets a pass because of the beautiful eyes.

Can you imagine Phelan and his daughter in one of the rooms in the West wing going over the good times when an axe comes crashing through the top door panel and the manical face appears shouting heeeres Billy. Teeth and all. He's no Jack Nicholson, but as close a whacko as you could get.

Now that could be quite interesting if she turns out to be King Phelan's little Princess Shona.

Shona looks not unlike a dark-haired Margi Clarke.
