I would personally like to see more women but proper women like Eileen - not silly OTT characters like Cilla or Yana.
Don't know why but I always feel more involved in their storylines. Women characters like Elsie Tanner, Bet Lynch (admittedly OTT but real), Rita etc are/were very strong but had a vulnerability which made them fascinating.

I think that's why I like Eileen so much. There seemed to be more of that in the good old days. For me it's what made Corrie great.

The builders of Coronation Street past - Len Fairclough, Jerry Booth and Ray Langton - were all very different from men of Coronation Street present.

I'd like to see the same type of characters reinvented for 2007, I adore all of those I mentioned.

More characters like 'Queen' Blanche Hunt!

There's Norris, but he's been toned down lately.

I'd love a new character to actually get a proper storyline and not PURE FILLER!

Characters seem to be forrgotten all the time.

They need to axed some more!

I personally feel the street has more "stronger" female characters so would like a new male character to appear. He would hook up with Eileen (as she deserves a bit of happiness), and him an his dishy son will move into the street.

I would like to see another fiery women like Karen. I would like to see someone to come and test the Conor boys in the factory but not like Leanne as she is just an escort.

I would like to see a women that has some screen time and likes a good time (in a good way). I would like to see her with Liam as he is a bit of a lad, she could maybe tame him.

To have her though i would loose Carla as i just see her as pointless.

I'd like to get rid of the boring males in exchange for a male equivalent of violet. I wonder if such a person exists!...

Another Eileen or Angela Harris for the girls. I'd also like to see a Mark Baldwin or another Spider

I think we need more guys like Tyrone and Kirk. Completely innocent, loveable guys who you'd talk to anyday.

I used to love the Battersby-Browns but I think there's nowhere for them to go now. And as the guy that plays Les is nearly out of it, why not just say he died in a car crash while drunk driving. Well they always say Corrie likes to be as true to life as possible

Get rid of Kelly, Dev you-caaaant act Alahan, Sarah and Jaysurn, Janice, and I'm gonna be controversial here - DEIRDRE! She has annoyed me so much lately.

I'm sure I'll find more to add soon

Its something Corrie has been bad on for years, if someone is on holiday, they are just not seen, heard or mentioned, sometimes for a couple of months & then just re-appear as if they had never been away. They could easily just film some small chit-chat clips & pepper them in during the actors absence.

It's not that actors are on holiday, it's just that they don't have the space in episodes for the characters to appear for ages.

Take Emily, Lloyd, Vera, Jack, Roy, Les, Cilla, Tyrone, Molly, Dev, Amber, Maria, Kirk, Jamie, Yana and Ryan - all of these have weeks and sometimes months when they don't appear!

I liked Curly Watts and Angie Freeman when they were housemates. Would quite like to see a plutonic but firm male female friendship.

I would like a female character who is happy and doesn't appear in a episode then is never seen for months.


They do have far too many characters though .Most you hardly ever see. There are some characters who get used too much.

A well known gangster:
He arrives to collect some dodgy money from Paul and Liam which they borrowed from him but didn't pay back and gives them both a good kicking whilst he is at it.

Ewwww! He needs a good wash.

I think they should get rid of the Barlows (I am so sick of the whole split them up, get them back together crap that has been going on for years. Plus Dierdre is the most annoying actress in the history of the soap), and move in a whole new family. They should however keep blanche as she is briliant. Perhaps she can come with the house as a sitting tennant or something.
