(In a room full of potential partners, 'real men' would gravitate to 'real women' like Elsie, sooner than to young, inexperienced wannabes.) I think part of the problem with finding a replacement is that none of the existing cast can burst on the scene fully formed likedulyquotedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996796131326765861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-40095526756037912102017-05-10T13:34:53.100+01:002017-05-10T13:34:53.100+01:00Humpty nailed it for me.Humpty nailed it for me.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864266831892996158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-71883869564736713432017-05-10T13:12:09.458+01:002017-05-10T13:12:09.458+01:00Michelle nor Carla hold a candle to Elsie.

Nobody's got morals on Corrie these days! Sirens, sex goddesses, vamps - they belong to another age. If you mean Michelle has the looks and confidence to attract men, well, probably, that's true. Actually, I think Elsie was another age-old archetype - 'the tart with a heart' - just as Bet Lynch was.
