Yeah Eileen has barely been on, I expect her exit to be worse than the crap they gave Gail. The Sun had a messy article claiming ITV is broke and the show can’t afford to pay the veteran actors their usual per-episode fees anymore. That’s apparently why the younger talent is on every day and people like Kate Ford are only on short-term contracts. They also said the cast has been told that none of their deals are guaranteed after 2025.

I’ve enjoyed the show for the most part lately but not enough to bother commenting on it lol. I love the Carla and DS Swain pairing and Betsy and Mason have grown on me. David and Shona finally getting a storyline has been good though I hate that it overshadowed Gail’s mediocre exit and that Max is always stinking up their scenes. I like how Kit stirs the pot as the shady cop on the cobbles and his addition to the Daisy/Daniel/Bethany/Ryan group freshened them up a bit. Cassie legit manipulating Ken and Tracy and Steve sniffing her out has been interesting too. LeeAnne vs Nick and Toya was tiresome for a minute but they made it more fun recently with her framing them for theft

They definitely could use a big cast purge though, there are about 20 or so characters I’d immediately dump without batting an eyelash. They can start with Max, Lauren, Bobby, Gemma, Chesney, Bernie, Sean, Kevin and Abi. When those characters get heavy story focus I completely zone out.

Max, Lauren and DeeDee yelling and crying over the fallout of Joel’s murder has been the absolute worst and unfortunately its the biggest story on the show at the moment.

DeeDee’s actress is fine but Max and Lauren’s portrayers are insufferable and I despise the optics of a black woman being pressured into keeping a pregnancy by these two alt right losers

Oh wow. If true, then that makes total sense. I'd imagine that this would possibly apply to Emmerdale, too. This isn't a good sign. Maybe the model needs to be shifted and they might need to cut back on weekly episodes; however, I do agree that they need to trim a good portion of the cast.

I am exactly one year behind but able to catch up via STV. Since my firestick thinks it is in Glasgow I am able to watch classic Brookside too!

Sad but not surprising news about Charlotte Jordan. Corrie has launched so many ingenues  from Sarah Lancashire to Michelle Keegan I expect most actresses want to follow in their footsteps. I hope the door is left open for a possible return. Daisy's presence has opened up so many dimensions of Jenny's character.
