I cheered when the character left the street, she was such an annoying character - Now she's coming back how much worse can it get?

We can only hope that Richard is still undetected and strangles her with one of her mini skirts.

Yuk -Is she really coming back???
Another nail in the coffin for the poor old Street

I agree that Liz's return does not hold too much promise but I think The Street has picked up a bit lately. The Richard saga is certainly a cut above a lot of the story lines and although I was sick to the back teeth of the Joe/Geena/Dev story, the climactic scene in the Rovers was pretty good.

the trouble with Corrie at the moment is that they take the most mundane of storylines and milk them to death - Dev/Geena/Joe, Sally/Kevin (glad we haven't seen much of them for a while), Vera/Maxine's mother etc.

The best stories are where there are some sinister goings on and the build up of suspense about what is going to happen next (eg Richard and now Ade). This worked well in the past with characters such as Carmel so as long as they mix this kind of thing with a bit of humour and don't linger too long on crashing bores like Sally and Kevin.

Well shes been in two pints of lager and a packet of crisps (which rocks btw, used to go to school with the writer, she is very tallented) .. anyway, beaverly callard has been in that since it began.

Oh God, is she really? I don't think I could bear her screeching - another crap actress in my opinion, who thinks you show emotion by just talking louder. It didn't work when they tried to bring back Bette Gilroy. Why don't they just bring in some new talent? And I mean TALENT, not people who look good but can't act for toffee.

It's going to take a lot more than Liz MacDonald to save the Street. The continuing and boring Richard story line is ruining it.

Nonsense! This is what is making it worth watching at the moment. What would you rather have - more of Sally & Kevin?

I would rather have Corrie as it used to be and not trying to compete with EastEnders by adopting controversial and violent story lines !
IMO Corrie was at its best when character interplay was the main ingredient. As a result the story lines were far more gripping and effective because we cared.

I'd have to go along with that. We didn't need high drama and all the unbelievable crap you got with Eastenders. In fact, I don't know how old you are, but I remember the days of Elsie Tanner and Ena Sharples etc. A good old fight in the street over a cup of sugar was so much more exciting than all the nonsense about people going around murdering other people and not even interviewed by the police! The closest they've come to it in recent years was Fred's wedding. Classic Corrie!

Who on earth believes that fat, out of condition Phil Mitchell could terrify a whole square? Why don't they just all gang up on him and run him out of town? Ridiculous.

I agree !
I remember Tanner and Sharples. Great stuff week after week from great actresses. And then oof course we had Annie Walker, Minnie Caldwell, Albert Tatlock, Mavis and Derek, Stan and Hilda, Bet Lynch.
They could all act, the characters carried the show. We cared about them so when I major story line developed we felt involved.
Not like now - with characters we don't know changing their personalities overnight to fit in with the latest storyline !
