Sarah Louise was written as a typical young heroine for Tina's first 5-6 years on the show. In her last few years they decided to make her "gobby" and materialistic and stupid, like Rosie. I can't say it did her any favors. Many fans were glad to see the back of her.

They'll make an odd couple physically-Callum's very tall and Sarah Louise is tiny-is she even 5'2"? Very strange.

Are you enjoying the show? I've heard a few people say they've enjoyed it more lately.

Why is Eileen working in the pub? Are they desperate?

She's already been sacked. When Eva left, they needed someone to take her place. Eileen volunteered, but she was horrible, as was expected. Liz, Michelle and Steve were too cowardly to fire her until Friday's episode where Steve mistakenly thought Liz had done so and put his foot in it. Eileen will now use online dating to meet 'Adrian', which I think you know about from the All Soaps Casting thread.

The show has some great things going for it: Sally/Tim always being a highlight, the imposter story is good, except when it comes to Michael (who ruins everything), the Faye pregnancy story has surprisingly been done well so far and continues to look promising with Owen leaving (Hallelujah!), the Tracy/Tony affair is alright, but Tracy gets tiring quickly, the Dev triangle story was entertaining and the Jenny Bradley return has worked really well so far, especially for Kevin, but I don't have faith they'll continue doing it justice.

I do think it's kind of funny/strange that Nick, Carla and Leanne all don't have any story currently. And I really do think they have been slowly building something with Audrey/Ken, which pleases me, but who knows what will happen with Kirkbride's passing.

I'm indifferent to Luke/Maria (I almost forgot to include them) as I think he deserves someone more exciting. I find she's at her best with Audrey and David; part of the Platt family.

Callum annoys and Todd, unfortunately, is awful. And I will never understand why Mary is permanately stuck with the olds. The actress is not even 40 yet.

Do you think they're heading to a Sally/Kevin reunion?

I don't think so, Carl. I get the feeling that is more than a few years off still.

I'm enjoying the show a lot more. I can't help but wonder how they'll kill Deirdre off, though.

Do you think they're heading to a Sally/Kevin reunion?

Blackburn said they would never reunite under him.

Sally Dynevor has said in interviews that the Sally/Kevin ship has probably sailed but never say never.

I would love to say never. Tim is the best thing that has ever happened to Sally.

Leanne is going to be getting a major story again - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a634415/coronation-street-domestic-abuse-story-planned-for-leanne-and-simon.html#~p6y64KopxPKOLn

Yeah they dumbed her down a lot when she was with Scooter and then when she split Jason and Violet up it was all downhill from there.

Well, Jimi Mistry is leaving, if anyone cares:

One of the most boring actors ever. Happy to see that Leanne will be free from that block of nothing.

I wonder if he wanted out? You'd think they'd be dumping the entire family, as none of them seem popular, except maybe Gary's girlfriend.
