It's all about the plots now and not the characters. They all live in little bubbles and only come together if they are part of the ( now compulsory explosive ) storyline, characters are changed and family members and old friends ignored.

I think that could have gone somewhere. I like Jenny but other than her eyes lighting up at the thought of his wallet, the pair doesn't do much for me.

Amy Barlow as the Battle Axe - others love her, I think she needs a spanking. Maria, Leanne and/or Michelle as the siren - a mouse and two married/pregnant ladies... this is just not right.

Maybe we're too modern for one of those but the battle axe should be concerned for the welfare of the community. Sylvia was only concerned with Roy, and Anna was wrapped up in her own family. Yasmeen could become a genteel battle axe which might be interesting. If not Yasmeen, I would love to see Janice come back and sort out the Humpty Dumptynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-61802802950557765212017-02-04T18:08:46.941+00:002017-02-04T18:08:46.941+00:00I totally agree about the battle axe and siren but...I totally agree about the battle axe and siren but would add to the latter that (in keeping with Tony Warren's original template) she needs to be 30/40 Ish - still with enough sex appeal to attract the men, but vulnerable to the aging process robbing her of that power.

She's not quirky enough and would dampen his comic qualities. They'd also be likely to disappear as neither are central characters. <br /><br />No, Mary is the one for Brian. I reckon those two would sizzle if paired together.
