After sitting through Monday night's dose of McDonald Misery, I arrived at the conclusion that I'm officially fed up of Becky. "Here we go again" I thought as she teetered off down the cobbles, bottle in hand. The problem seems to be that the viewer needs to be able to invest in a character, something which is becoming increasingly difficult with Becks.
There has to be some redeeming aspect of the personality. Becky is far from being one-dimensional but unfortunately her two personalities are polar opposites. One minute she's in 'lovely mummy' mode and the next she's punching someone's lights out. The swift swapping between one and the other has become boring and more than a little irritating. Have the Coronation Street storyliners reached a point of no return?
However, the one redeeming moment was when Becky turfed Liz out of the Rovers. With her ghastly new hairstyle, Liz behaved with the dignity of a shrieking Harvester barmaid and, for me at any rate, has never had enough gravitas to carry off the role of landlady. Maybe I'll give Becky a hand in throwing out some of Liz's tatty old skirts.
Back to the matter in hand. Is there a future for Becky and, if so, how should the storyliners devlop her character?
