Take a look back at Becky's first scene

So, we've just seen Becky Granger flying off in first class, surrounded by free booze with her new family, but how did Becky start out? Also check out Kat Kelly's original audition tape on itv.com.

Remember it well, and Poor Kelly, was a very good actress but was got rid of for some reason, and they keep the Alahans!!!!

The Becky storyline was Kelly's last story; after that she was just relegated to a background character, which was a real shame. I remember when she started on the show, being hailed as 'the new Karen'... that didn't last long. Sometimes the storyliners just don;t know what to do with a character - solution: get new storyliners. There is no such thing as a character who has been worked out, it's just a question of placing them in new situations. A gobby, slightly self-obsessed character like Kelly should have been a gift to the writers. I don't blame Tupile for leaving one bit after being so underused. A failure of imagination in the storylining department.

I never liked Kelly (too negative a personality) but yes, she could have been interesting if they did more with her instead of using her as a spare part.

Becky was the character I preferred
and especially well done by this particular actress.
She`s the one I always looked for.
I`m not sure if it will be as interesting without this actress as Becky!!
I liked the way it ended though, since she did have to leave. A good lesson to learn.
