Which of these characters would you get rid of from the soap, if you could. The list isn't the entire cast obv, cos there's too many, but I've tried to include all the ones I've seen mentioned as annoying :D

Maddie - Terribly miscast, can't take her seriously as a 16 year old. Plus shes a crap actress

Jono - Pointless teen to make up the numbers

Neil - Pretty much the same

Liberty - Is probably famous for the most cringey scenes HO have had. Plus she's only there to kick start her music career, hate that.

Jono and Callum definitely. Never seen such wooden actors. Most of the rest of the "student" lot too. There hasn't been anybody of substance that has been brought in of late. I kind of like Barney though. He can be quite funny.

I don't know what the point of Ricky is either at the moment. He's just an extra basically.

Michaela - no purpose and unlikable
Ricky - deadwood
Neil - making up the numbers, no purpose at all
Joel - doesnt fit in right

Will - They've ruined his character

Joel - What's the point of him :shrug:

Ricky - Only liked him when he was with Duncan (by the way I really want Duncan to return :amazed)

Jono, Neil - Too many teenagers, they're just pointless as they've not had any good storylines

Rob - All he is is Annalise's sh*t ex-boyfriend, and he plus he looks like a fake Gilly

Not on the poll:

Dennis - Just an annoying twat who heavily resembles Ben Mitchell

Ohhh I voted Will as well. He really can't act and shouts his lines. That "Wardy" thing where he was shouting doen the phone was the final straw

Then

Mercedes needs a break and stop being a sluuuuut
Maddie needs to quit being a bitch because her and Callum are a good pairing
Jono and Ruby need something to happen
Barny is hilarious need to use him more
&
Will needs to go back being more nerdy and awkward

Shocked and appauled that Theresa, Leanne, Callum, George and Tilly are on the list, I really enjoy watching them. Ste is part of the furniture too.

yeah, I included everyone really who I've seen people say they don't like for various reasons, some say Ste has become a caricature, he's not as good an actor as he used to be but then again to be fair, it could be the storylines he is given? Leanne has grown on me, she has good comedy potential but they don't use her enough. George is great, not fussed on Tilly or Callum.

I'm fed up with them all being bisexual or "suddenly" discovering their homosexuality in their mid 20s. It's not that common is it?

yes, true. It's plot led, when I prefer it character led, sometimes they have a character change their whole personality overnight just for a plot. Silly really.

Come on. It is only a few characters that have same sex feelings (repressed or not). There's only Ste, Doug, Tilly, Esther, Brendan, George, Texas, Jodie.....Not like it's common at all.

That's precisely it. Which is why (looking at your avatar I shouldn't say this. lol) I've never been able to adjust to any new characters since Brendan came into it. Ste had a transformation because the actor decided to come out as gay and they seem to have had an obsession with these stories ever since Craig and John Paul, and then Sarah and Zoe etc etc.

I don't think they've explored a run of the mill coming of age story that didn't involve sudden homosexuality, teen pregnancy, STD or pedophilia. lol
It may not seem as dramatic but it can still be interesting.

I don't get it with Doug. He never showed any signs of being gay. Maybe he's just confused? :conf:

He might be. He has been spending a lot of time with Ste lately and he may have mistaken the closeness of their friendship for something else. He looked pretty comfortable when they kissed though. Maybe he has repressed his feelings in the past. I am sure we will get to see over the next few weeks.

It was believable with Brendan, but they've gone mad lately :laugh: Doug being gay is totally ridiculous.

Brendan is better for Ste. At least he loves him. Doug doesn't even know what he wants. :hmph:

Neither did Craig, John Paul, Sarah, Zoe, Esther, Ste, Texas, Doug until it suited the plot.

I don't think we ever got Craig's reaction to Sarah's lesbianism, think it would've alleviated any guilt he may have had. lol

Brendan being out and proud would be amazing! :cheer:

Especially since wasn't he completely smitten with a girl that got murdered before Christmas? :hugesmile:

Of course he is. I am sure Ste would love getting a smack every time Brendan gets jealous. I don't think Brendan is going to be very happy when Ste and Doug's relationship comes to light...

But if Brendan can change then he could be good for Ste. :blush:
