As a regular Corrie viewer, I've realised there's a quite a few characters that haven't had any major storylines - either none at all, or none for a long while.
Moria
She's supposed to be a bit of man- eater, yet she's only enjoyed one romance with the very brief owner of The Kabin, Vic Reeves' character, the madcap Colin. Someone suggested on here that it'd be interesting to see Moria team up with that other middle- aged spinster, Mary. This is a good suggestion but would snobby Moria take to oddball Mary? Maybe not. But I wouldn't have thought chavvy Beth would give Kirk the time of day, either. Don't keep Moria hidden away – give her a story!
Cathy and Brian
Although bumbling Brian pops up in the cafe to make frequent 'passing of day' comments, we haven't seen Cathy for a while. She recently expressed concern about Yasmeen - but this wasn't followed up. I sometimes feel that when a middle- aged childless couple are settled on the cobbles, the Corrie team don't know what to do with them. Cathy was first brought in via an allotment, so we could have a buried treasure plot there (Pardon the pun!) We need something to jolt the ambling couple out of their cosy stability.
Sean, Gail, Alex, Craig, Izzy and Fay
Are they running out of ideas for these six singletons? There's been no love interest for ages for most of them. Gail dishes out advice to family, while Alex serves with a smile in Roy's Rolls. Izzy enjoyed a brief romance with the ill- fated Derek, but her role is mainly getting fed- up with her former partner, the feckless Gary. Sean pulls pints with an acid tongue and Craig's got a busy career as a copper. As for Fay - she regularly goes AWOL from our screens. Is she still working at The Bistro with sex pest Ray?
Summer and Simon
I can picture these two pairing up for a sweet romance. But please don't let it end up in pregnancy, drink, drugs, or crime! I'd like to see something upbeat and refreshing for these teens. Perhaps they could come up with a sound online/ tech business idea between them and win an award for it?
Dev
Womaniser widower Dev's supposed to have a steady stream of kids and grandkids (Remember Amber?) So, where are they all? Surely they'd want to know their biological dad, or grandad. It's yet another storyline that was brought in and then, for some strange reason, it was quietly dropped. But us loyal Corrie viewers don't forget! After Julie, Dev needs another love interest, anyway. An old flame with a bunch of his forgotten about adult children in tow would bring conflict and interest.
What do you think should happen to these characters? Share your ideas in the comments section.
