Here's some news to cheer up a soggy summer's day in Britain. Not. Digital Spy reports that everyone's favourite yo-yo character, Nice Becky/Nutty Becky will lose the plot yet again this summer. Mad Mrs Mac now has baby Hope in her sights which means it's time to bring on that old Corrie classic, the baby kidnapping. This plot device often gets wheeled out and we can shuffle back as far as 1962 when little Christopher Hewitt (who must now be knocking on fifty) was snatched. Even Tracey-luv was grabbed back in 1979 from outside the Rovers (cue a hoarse Deirdre croaking "Traceee" from the midst of a pile of planks).
Personally, now I know that Becky is a short-term prospect on the Street, I just want her to pack her bags and go. Enough already. We still have another six months of Becky-related stories. What else do the storyliners have lined up for viewers? Becky the international terrorist? Becky being unveiled as Carla's lesbian lover? Becky giving birth to a three-headed reptile?
Or maybe she might just climb into the back of a cab and disappear forever. We can hope.
