It always seems strange to me that the teenagers on the street never appear to have any friends whatsoever. When my son was a teen he had loads of friends both boys and girls.

Since they are always older than depicted on screen it really is hard to tell.

He's artistic and an oddball, she's very pretty with a huge bullying problem. They both have less than ideal family situations. It's nice that they are neighbors who get along, esp since there is no one else their age on the Street. <brabbykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808858897096902157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-47068470305753112462016-09-03T20:55:08.840+01:002016-09-03T20:55:08.840+01:00nope..she's way too hot for him..nope..she's way too hot for him..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-5935597751318356342016-09-03T20:54:50.189+01:002016-09-03T20:54:50.189+01:00Nay!

But, as Lily mentioned "lazy writing" - easier to create "drama" with romantic couples than just a really great storyline with mates.

Bethany ,on the other hand, can get quite stroppy and I personally don't like the character. Don't get me wrong, I think Lucy Fallon is a great actress and has displayed real talent over the last few months. Craig is a brilliant character and definitely has a solid future on Corrie.

This will hopefully be another development for both characters and bring out more of Bethany's kinder side, but also bring out a more grown-up side of Craig. He could even be more protective of her since he wants to be a policeman.
