Not just anyone who's been sitting on the sidelines, but ones you feel ARE underused.

Eastenders:

Paul Truman - decent character, seems a bit wasted. Though this Janine thing is better than nothing I suppose...

Corrie:

Rita - hasn't really had any plot since that last boyfriend of hers with the bowtie, whose name escapes me. Considering she's one of the highest paid people on the show, too, you'd think she's due a good story by now. By the way, what happened with her dog when Norris repalced it again? Did she EVER find out the truth? I can't remember...

Candice seems a bit pointless, but there's potential there. They seem to want to keep her anyway and I suppose she'll end up turning into a Maria-esque character....

I was going to say Eileen and Janice, too...but I think they'll both have stuff coming up with the Todd gay story, and maybe if the truth about Les comes out...

Emmerdale:

Laurel - she's done NOTHING much of note since arriving, but she seems a great character and okay enough actress so far. She just needs a really decent story...I reckon there will be on eventually, though. It took Louise ages to get one.

Diane - always at the centre of most OTHER people's stories, never really getting much of one herself. Which is a waste because she's a fabulous actress and superb character.

Katie - okay, she was great last year, but now it's just become ridiculous. There was that rumour about sleeping with Chris in order to keep her and Andy's home, but that doesn't look like it might happen now, although you never know.

On a sidenote, I was wondering recently if they might make that Japanese girl Sam slept with come back pregnant or something...having learnt to speak English too. I can JUST see it actually...

Emmerdale - Paddy has been forgotten about since the fostering. A better storyline for Lisa Dingle, and return of tamika?? would be good for Sam
Ashley has seen little action recently, the same goes for Nicola.Sid could get a decent storyline out of the Scott - Chloe - Sid trieangle though.

Corrie - Yes Rita barely does anything, and what has happened to Norris? Is Blanche still visting her sick sister? Where has Maria gone? And Audrey - but apparently she will feature somewhat in the up and coming "Sarah neglecting Bethany storyline".

Eastenders - Paul deserves a good storyline, and i would like to see more develop of Joanne the psycho nanny. All the new ferreiro family need better stories, as does Ricky, Sam, Big Mo, and Nanna Moon.

Oh yeah, I forgot Ashley...he hasn't done anything much since Bernice left, who, by the way, needs to come back instead of associating herself with "Where The Heart Is"

Agree about Nicola and Joanne, too...
