I am loving new girl Emma on Coronation Street. Now, more than ever, we really do need a bit of lightness in the show to balance the unbelievably sad storyline this week of Aidan passing away.
Emma is like a breath of fresh air on the show. She's fun, she's cheeky, she's vulnerable too. There's something about her, as played to perfection by Alexandra Mardell, that reminds me of old-fashioned, classic Corrie. She brings back memories of the likes of young girls about town, Maxine Peacock and Fiona Middleton.
It looks like a reunion is on the cards for David and Shona - and rightly so. I guess this means Emma will be dumped and looking for a new place to live. Please let her stay on the Street, she's great.
Does anyone else really like the character too?

I prefer Emma to Gemma. I'm sorry, but I cannot forget people's past histories very easily (yes, I know it only telly but still...), which is why I cannot take to Gemma. But Emma, as far as we know, is a decent girl, so she's OK in my book.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing applies to Shona, I really can't take to her knowing what her son did (yes, I know it's not her fault, but she still gave birth to a murderer). However, having said that, even though I don't like Shona romantically linked to David, I'm glad that someone has his back. No-one else seems to.
Yes! I like the freshness and innocence of Emma. No back story, and if she stays may it remain so.
ReplyDeleteI think she should get together with Chesney. She might lighten him up a bit and she would be good for Joseph.
ReplyDeleteHer spunk reminds me a bit of Natasha Blakeman when she first arrived.
ReplyDeleteYes she’s definitely a keeper (just not with David, obviously). Loved her comments to Audrey “I’m finding you a bit negative Audrey, just saying”. And those court shoes 😆

ReplyDeleteI also hope they keep her.Anonymous at 14:05 has the right idea, Chesney should be with someone who has a spark. I'd think it would be Gemma but the baggage from her storyline with Callum just makes me see her as basically untrustworthy.Emma on the other hand seems like a sweet girl.
I’m sorry but not Chesney. Little kid Chesney was a delightful ray of sunshine, but put a hood and robe on adult Chesney and you’d have yourself a dementor. Emma does not deserve to have the soul sucked out of her.
