I’d have to agree with that and I don’t really want to watch Hayley’s demise either to be honest. I feel like slapping Michelle and Liz every time they snigger and smirk at Steve - aren’t they supposed to show loyalty to him?
Time to get shot of Deidre as well - the whole kissing her under the miseltoe was just embarrassing.
I wonder how much longer I’ll be watching as well - I’ve watched it since I was a small child!
I’ll still be moaning about it all though next year 
Couldn’t have put it better myself BV and Ania. They’ve carried this David/Nick/Kylie/Leanne storyline on far too long and I’m bored stiff with it now.
I’ve just said exactly the same in a thread about another soap too. Have the writers gone on an extended holiday or something? They’re going to be losing a lot of viewers if they don’t liven it up soon.
This is only my opinion but I think they need to find some characters to replace the old stalwarts like Hilda and Stan, Jack and Vera - even Curly and Raquel would have worked great. I often wish Suranne Jones had never left as she and Steve would have filled those empty roles brilliantly - there are just no charismatic characters at all.
I too am sick and tired of Liz and Michelle and their treatment of Steve. I know it’s the writers but please, let him grow a backbone. I hope he goes off with Andrea!
Deirdre, well past her sell by date!
Nick. Problem is his brain damage and the problems associated with it can go on for such a long time. We may be in for a long ride, you know!!
Not looking forward to Hayley’s death. Already it is tugging at the heart strings.
All the really good actors leave and go on to better things.
Some who only think they are good leave and keep coming back !

It does irritate me that all the male characters are either henpecked, feckless or plain stupid. Talk about Northern stereotypes. When are they going to give us some normal strong minded supportive men?
Yes couldn’t agree more, I wonder why the Men in Corrie St are portrayed as whimps who have been castrated
EG Tyrone , Kirk, Steve Mac, Chesney, Dev and Norris.
Maybe the writers are women with chips on their shoulders?
Me too.
I found myself wondering if Andrea is going to end up as Michelle’s replacement - I don’t think Michelle is a favourite with the viewers and I quite like this Andrea, she seems bubbly and full of life instead of that scowling, snide-comment throwing girlfriend that he already has. Fingers crossed eh
And the other side of that coin is that all the women are being portrayed as controlling, moaning, whining, spoilt control-freaks - writers are men with a chip on their shoulder
I think the only normal relationship is between Hayley and Roy! I will really miss seeing those two, they always bring a smile and it’s nice to ‘see’ genuine love for another person.
What did she used to be in BV? I know her face but can’t remember why. Wasn’t she in Strictly once?
according to another thread she was in a dancing on ice
I’ve no idea Mups - she didn’t look familiar to me so maybe if Valice is right, you saw her in Dancing on Ice.
She looks such a happy character and anything would be better than Michelle’s scowling face!
I know, I know! bounces up and down, hand up in air!
She was in Emmerdale as one of the Dingles. Apparently she fiddled a lot of money out of a boyfriend and left with it.
And yes please, anybody but Michelle. Cannot stand her.
Oh well done Jazzi - clever girl. You are quite right, I remember now. 
I think you might be right as well Valice. . .
Hayley Tammadon partnered Daniel Whiston on Dancing on Ice.
She was brilliant.
Start about 1.45 
No, not clever at all: I cheated! It was in Saturday’s Daily Mail magazine. She played Delilah Dingle and swindled him out of £20,000. (Just re-read it.)
