The Coronation Street characters that should be spared from the axe
Here is the list of Coronation Street characters that definitely need to be spared from the axe - see below :
1) Ken Barlow 2) Deirdre Barlow 3) Blanche Hunt 4) Emily Bishop 5) Betty Turpin 6) Rita Sullivan 7) Jack Duckworth 8) Vera Duckworth 9) Mike Baldwin 10) Danny Baldwin 11) Frankie Baldwin 12) Jamie Baldwin 13) Leanne Battersby 14) Norris Cole 15) Audrey Roberts 16) Gail Platt 17) Sarah Louise Platt 18) David Platt 19) Kevin Webster 20) Sally Webster 21) Rosie Webster 22) Sophie Webster 23) Eileen Grimshaw 24) Jason Grimshaw 25) Charlie Stubbs 26) Violet Wilson 27) Steve McDonald 28) Sean Tully As for bringing certain characters back as I have already said my choices would be - Hilda Ogden, Bet Lynch, Harry Flagg and Chris Collins to name but a few. |

And Hilda back would be great too I personally would axe Charlie Stubbs though as I feel that this character now has very little room to manoeuvre!! |

all should be saved apart from : Kelly Crabtree, Claire Peacock, Bev Unwin, Yana, Diggory Compton - I don't dislike any of these, well maybe Bev, but I think they should be got rid of to improve Corrie.

The solution to the problems with Coronation Street are half the cast and half the episodes as otherwise it will sink below sea level. |

You do agree though that the cast is far too big and needs to be split in half along with the episodes been reduced from five a week to three. |

Get rid of Cilla, Les, Chesney, the twins, Dev, Tracy, Clare, Ashley, Bev, Charlie, maybe Shelly..see if shes capable of comedy again because she just proved she cant do dramatic but was good when she first came on, that emmerdale reject (cant remember her name) and her dad, then we would have the perfect cast !

I agree. With this large of a cast, you kind of get attached to the characters and you think of reasonable ways to write certain people of but there่s so much going on and there is a certain need for them, if you can understand what I am saying. |

A horrible illness which i have no doubt Corrie will handle supearbly, its just sad that Mike is leaving this way. Also Jack and Vera are leaving at some stage and the rumour is...
Spoiler
If its true it will easily be the best happy exit in soap history and Corrie isnt even my fave soap. |

People keep forgettiing to say that Claire should stay. Perhaps they are unsure of the spelling.

As long as Jason Violet Eileen and Sean stay i'm happy! I really want the Platts to leave there pointless boring characters, and i can't stand Sarah.

Should go:
Diggory Compton Molly Compton Penny King Scooter All the rest can stay. I very very very much doubt they get rid of Ken, Deirdre, Emily, Rita, Betty, Gail, Audrey, Blanche, Vera, Jack or, even though he's developing alzheimers, Mike (They've never actually confirmed his exit, it's only a rumour) I also don't think the McDonalds, Websters and Platts are going anytime soon.

Vera and Jack aren't going anywhere, they signed on for at least another year.
