Where is Rita?
It feels like ages since Rita was last seen in Corrie. She is one of my fave characters and she has been terribly underused recently. She has had hardly anything to do since the Cilla and Chesney storyline which is nearly 2 years ago now.
I want them to give her a huge storyline, Barbara Knox is the best actress Corrie has. |

She's probably taking a bit of a break, hope we see her again soon, the older characters are one of the reasons I love the show.

I hope the new producer uses the long running characters more than this. Rita, Emily and Betty are 3 of the stars of the show yet they're hardly ever seen on screen.

I totally agree - the favour particular characters depending on the current storyline & dump them once its over. & you never see them for months - then they are back in the spotlight again. Wonder how long the Frankie/Danny story will go on for

The Baldwins are over used in my opinion as is Shelley. Why don't they give them a back seat for a while and bring Rita, Emily, Betty & Norris to the forefront.

I thought Rita was supposed to be involved in a big rivalry storyline with Audrey, there was a bit ages ago about the photo with Alf but nothing since, maybe its going to be a slow-burner?

I want them to give her a huge storyline, Barbara Knox is the best actress Corrie has. And there must be about 50 odd characters in Corrie these days, and they have to have storylines that last more than an episode or two so they only need certain characters for that so there's bound to be times when some characters disappear for a time while storylines they aren't involved in are going on. |

Corrie stars take these breaks, but unlike in other soaps, there is no issue made about it. I think that Barbara Knox is semi-retired
