I agree with Carla as Elsie, Norris as Hilda and Sally as Mrs Walker. <br /><br />I also think Eva could be a new Bet Type, Fiz and Tyrone the new Vera and Jack (less drama please), and Julie as Mavis to Eileen's Rita. <br /><br />Not one a carbon copy (which would be bad), but similar types.

She really was a one off but so is Carla! <br /><br />I also agree about Sylvia.

Emily was the original, followed by Mavis and now we have Mary. The disapproving mother-in-law would be another. The bad seed son, Terry, David, Ryan.

Bring back the moral guardian of the Street! As for Carla Connor, Alison King's a great actress but Pat Phoenix had a hard childhood, and it's that troubled life that seeps through her performance as Elsie Tanner.

He's certainly cheeky enough at least and he was in jail as a young man just as Dennis was. Brian Packham is similar to Derek Wilton. Gary could possibly be molded into a Ray Langton though he's not really got that womanizer gene that Ray did. Yet.
