Coronation Street Massive Cast
Martin, Robyn, Scooter, Candice have already left. But Corrie still currently has a massive cast list. Who would you like to get rid of and why?? Do you think they have to many characters?? is there anyone you'd like to see back??
01. Mike Baldwin 02. Penny 03. Adam Baldwin 04. Danny Baldwin 05. Frankie Baldwin 06. Carol Baldwin 07. Jamie Baldwin 08. Ken Barlow 09. Deirdre Rashid 10. Tracey Barlow 11. Amy Barlow 12. Blanche Hunt 13. Liz MacDonald 14. Steve MacDonald 15. Ronnie Clayton 16. Shelley Unwin 17. Bev Unwin 18. Charlie Stubbs 19. Violet 20. Betty Turpin 21. Sean Tully 22. Eileen Grimshaw 23. Jason Grimshaw 24. Jessie 25. Joanne 26. Janice Battersby 27. Leanne Battersby 28. Les Battersby 29. Cilla Battersby-Brown 30. Chesney Brown 31. Fiz Brown 32. Tyrone Dobbs 33. Kirk Sutherland 34. Maria Sutherland 35. Molly Compston 36. Diggory Compston 37. Craig Harris 38. Keith 39. Gail Platt 40. Sarah Louise Platt 41. Bethany Platt 42. David Platt 43. Audrey Roberts 44. Fred Elliot 45. Ashley Peacock 46. Claire Peacock 47. Joshua Peacock 48. Rita Sullivan 49. Emily Bishop 50. Norris Cole 51. Phil Nail 52. Sally Webster 53. Kevin Webster 54. Rosie Webster 55. Sophie Webster 56. Lloyd 57. Nathan 58. Hayley Cropper 59. Roy Cropper 60. Kelly Crabtree 61. Vera Duckworth 62. Jack Duckworth 63. Sunita Alahan 64. Dev Alahan 65. Yana I think thats everyone?? Have I forgot anyone? I don't even think any American soaps have so many characters, maybe I am wrong though,I've only ever seen about 4, but it is an awfully lot of characters for one soap, and it's resulting in several characters being underused, like Ken, Rita etc, old classics! |

I'd really love to see the back of Dev - he really gets on my nerves. The guy who plays him can't act and plays all the scenes in the same way - gives a little laugh as he delivers his lines.
Rosie Webster is another one - I know she is only a child - but the acting is really wooden And that Diggory Compton - really can't stand him |

when corrie decided to go 15 times a week they bought in more characters so as not to overwork the cast who were already there.

The problem with such an enormous cast is that you start not to empathise with any new characters, and you even start to lose touch with the old ones, everyone seems to be 'just another character' as opposed to Jason Grimshaw/Claire Peacock/Shelley Unwin, or whoever they happen to be.
Tis annoying. |

Tis annoying. I agree and I think that is why Corrie have had a few problems with nee characters. The cast is too big and they should axe a few. |

I haven't heard that Dev is leaving. It's Shobna Gulati (Sunita) who is going.

As for Liz, she is the oldest slapper in town, thinks she is younger than she is, and also has an irritating voice. |

Ditch:
Adam Bev Charlie Jessie (Not 100% sure) Joanne (Not 100% sure) Les Janice Cilla Chesney Kirk Maria Tyrone Diggory Phil Lloyd Dev Yana Getting rid of 16. I didn't so so many people didn't like the wonderful Deirdre, but honestly someones voice is a pathetic reason for axing someone who has been about for 33 years and bought Ken/Deirdre/Mike and Free Deirdre..... |

I would get rid of
Diggory Compton Molly Compton Yana Lumb (although I like her, but she's not serious enough) Ashley Peacock (nowhere to go) Claire Peacock (nowhere to go) Tyronne Dobbs (boring) Kieth Appleyard (not fitted in yet) Phil Nail (yuck) Nathan (again not warmed to him) |

I dont know why so many people dislike Deirdre either, although she was much better in the 1970s (before she married Ken the first time), but she is still great.
Id axe Diggory Mollly Claire Ashley Keith Craig Nathan Phil Kelly The twins Shelly Charlie |

This is my opinion on the cast...
These are legends, obviously in the next few years some of them will have to leave in a wooden box because of their age but I don't expect any other exit anytime soon from them. Mike Baldwin Ken Barlow Deirdre Barlow Blanche Hunt Betty Williams Gail Platt Rita Sullivan Emily Bishop Vera Duckworth Jack Duckworth These characters are too loved or long running to go. Danny Baldwin Frankie Baldwin Tracy Barlow Liz McDonald Steve McDonald Eileen Grimshaw Sarah Louise Platt David Platt Audrey Roberts Fred Elliott Norris Cole Sally Webster Kevin Webster Rosie Webster Sophie Webster Hayley Cropper Roy Cropper Vulnerable to the axe but I personally think they're safe for now. Jamie Baldwin Amy Barlow Violet Wilson Sean Tully Jason Grimshaw Leanne Battersby Les Battersby Cilla Battersby-Brown Chesney Brown Fiz Brown Bethany Platt Ashley Peacock Joshua Peacock Extremely Vulnerable to the axe, could go at any time although I don't want them to. Adam Barlow Carol Baldwin Ronnie Clayton Bev Unwin Charlie Stubbs Tyrone Dobbs Craig Harris Claire Peacock Lloyd Mullaney Kelly Crabtree Ones I'm not really bothered about/Want to axe - Vulnerable Penny King Joanne Factorygirl Kirk Sutherland Maria Sutherland Molly Compton Diggory Compton Keith Appleyard Phil Nail Dev Alahan Yana Lumb Already going Jessie Factorygirl Shelley Unwin Janice Battersby Nathan Cooper Sunita Alahan |
