I think its high time Corrie axed this family. They don't really add anything and the actress playing Claire really grates on me.

I would have agreed last year but I think with the PND storyline and Claire's involvement in the whole Tracy/Charlie saga has given them a new lease of life.

I love the fact Claire has almost become a neurotic woman on the edge. It gives the family more mileage.

Disagree. They add some normality to the street.

Claire has now overtaken Ashley in the credibility stakes with the Tracy stuff. I never thought I'd say that.

When I saw the title of this thread, I had hope that they'd actually been axed

Yes, get rid of them. I've never liked Ashley, and I only liked Claire briefly during her PND storyline.

I hate Claire. She's so drab and credulous.

Oh, Pleeeeease axe the Peacocks! Ashley is rarely seen now and Claire seems to have no friends. They are dull, dull, dull and I know it's a mean thing to say but Claire's voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Totally agree with you. What is wrong with having a normal family. Is is that she's not a nasty adultress that people don't like her. Perhaps she would be more liked if she shouted a bit more.

I agree with SULLA. There are plenty more worthy axeings that need to be made before Ashley and the lovely Clurr.

Some of these:

*** ********* (clue SULLA doesn't like this character )
*** (landlady of T'Rovers)
Kelly Craptree
Adam Baldwin :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :sleep:

there are a few others too......

There's normal and there's boring.

The Peacocks are boring.

Hi Sulla

I'm all for ordinary families being in the street, I just can't engage with either of the Peacocks. Fred was a comic foil for them and now they just seem irritating. There was a time when Claire had some funny lines. I wish they'd write a few more for her.

Basically then, it's down to the script. Blanche would be nothing without her one liners.

Exactly.

Corrie isn't real life.

Who wants to watch Ashley sound like he's whineing everytime he speaks. Or Claire being boring Claire.

Good choices but Kelly is OK. She seemed really nice in Soapstar Superstar.

********* ideally needs a smilie

Would much rather get rid of others before the Peacocks. Joanne and Kelly spring to mind.

The Peacocks are very annoying - and very irritating.

I've found Claire terribly irritating during the Tracy storyline - how dim can she get?!

I don't particularly like the Peacocks but those I'd really like to see go before they do are:

Kelly
Michelle
All the Connors in fact
Adam Baldwin
Joanne

I think all the above are surplus to requirments.
