There are certain characters, at certain times in the life of Coronation Street, that I'm more than willing to give a chance to. I want to warm to them. I want to like them. I try my hardest, damn it, I really do try.
But there are some characters that despite trying as hard as I can, I have to admit defeat and give up on. Whether you agree or disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Here are my personal top five Corrie characters I could very well do without right now.
Rana. What's she there for other than to get Zeedan all hot and bothered?
Sharif. His chickens are more interesting than he is.
Sinead is a ditzy bit of fluff, and as such, a soap staple. Every soap has one and Corrie needs one, but for heavens sake, give her a storyline before I fall asleep. And break up her and Chesney, it's a relationship without chemistry. Dullsville with a capital Zzzz.
Is there anything likable, at all, about Caz? I can't see it if there is. Get rid, please and let Kate Connor breathe.
And I'm sorry to say this as I've watched Sophie grow up on Coronation Street, but her whining and moaning now define her. I'm hoping that after actress Brooke Vincent takes a break from the show to star in a stage play, she'll be written out with a bombshell and come back with a new dynamic storyline to boot.
There you go. Ooh, I don't half feel better now that's all off my chest.
NEW!
