There are quite a few that have been axed though, and Blanche has gone, and I think some of the newer characters are pretty poor. For example, Trevor does not seem to have any good story lines and is a bit of a fail imo. The Lewis and Audrey storyline is getting pretty boring atm also. I am glad to see Graeme is getting a bit more airtime. Of course the whole Tracey storyline is coming up but I feel a few more stronger characters are needed. It is sometimes weak in it's content and it seems to flit around from characters too much. One week somebody might be featured, and then you don't see them for another few weeks. Take Sophie and Sian for instance. It needs more continuity and a better injection of new blood.

And who are The Armstrongs?

It would have been nice to know how she and kevin got on after the baby arrives.

There are far more boring characters on CS than Molly! Seems to me that many members on this forum simply don't like cheating women - even the fictional kind! Whereas, cheating men - doesn't bother them at all!

It's a shame, the Kevin storyline really ruined her character.

Oh Wombai, good timing! I got you a new record right here since yours seems to be broken.

Kirk's gf's family

and Wombai, we dont mind Kevin cheating as much, because he turned a blind eye when Sally was having an affair with Mr. Car Showroom, and because he ended the affair when he found out his wife needed him, whereas Molly didnt give two ****s about Sally

The truth can't be broken - just conveniently ignored!

If you want to talk about sexism in soaps Wombai....

1) Men are made out to be one of the following three
a) useless lazy idiots
b) villians
c) a cheating bastard

2) Women seem to be allowed to hit men in soaps without anyone batting an eyelid

I think there is sterotyping on both sides - and I don't like that!

But in a way, you prove my point - because male characters are portrayed as cheating more, partly, at least, as historically they have, but it rarely seems to have met with the same levels of disapproval and contempt that happens when a female character cheats!

Which is most likely because they portray males as cheating more often, to be honest, cheating is a terrible thing and whoever does it, man or woman, they are complete knobheads

Seems we agree on that!
