What are your opinions on the character of Steve McDonald? He's ok sometimes but tries to be funny and lets Michelle boss him about. Has quite a soft side though.
What are your opinions on the character of Violet Wilson? Used to be happy, now shes boring and depressed. Kind and caring though. Goody two shoes.
What are your opinions on the character of Jason Grimshaw? Cant stand him. Boring, whiny, does anything for Sarah, lets people walk all over him, annoying.
What are your opinions on the character of Carla Connor? Absolutely brilliant. So different from any one else in Corrie, quite confident and she is very independent, she doesnt show anyone any emotion and keeps her feelings bottled up. Inside though, quite insecure and is a bit of a loner. Acts hard but really, shes not inside, she needs a friend. or someone to hug her and make her tell her problems to someone. . Also shes fiery and sharp and sassy and pretty. (Liam take note)
Out of these 4 characters who would you most like to be friends with? Carla defo.

Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the other characters views are of a higher class than those characters who are less favoured? No most people are popular and not of a higher class. The higher class people seem to be hated slightly.
