[Scarlett.]

That'd be brilliant

[flemin]

It would be like the good ol' days again

[Scarlett.]

Aye, what do you think of Michelle going to work in the factory instead of the Rovers? I think it's a good idea

[flemin]

Initially I thought it was a really bad idea, but now, having thought about it, I agree with you. She'll hopefully intergrate with more of the cast this way.

[Scarlett.]

Aye, she needed repositioning, now she will have a purpose, the spare tool son is going (well...to Uni lol) and she's gonna get a partner in the form of Kerian

[flemin]

Oh, she gets with kieran, didn't see that one coming Hopefully this means an end to their contrived flirting. I love Michelle though, and Kym Marsh.

[Scarlett.]

Same here, her character was annoying a few years back with "Schteve", but since then she's gotten better

[flemin]

lol @ spare tool son. Ryan's such a douche.

[Scarlett.]

lol indeed he is xD

[flemin]

Yup, I've always liked Michelle, it's a shame she was used so much in the first half of 08.

[Scarlett.]

Aye, that dreadful child swap storyline dented her character too

[flemin]

Oh God don't remind me. Any character becomes annoying when they're onscreen for most of the episode every episode.

[Scarlett.]

Aye, thank god Phil Collinson knows this

[flemin]

I love what he's done with the show.

[Scarlett.]

Me too, last week, Kylie was dominating the show, this week we've moved onto a different set of characters

[flemin]

I like the way there's always at least two main storylines going on each episode but we also see other characters aswell for maybe like one scene or something e.g. that scene with Fiz and John on Friday. Gives a sense of life going on. Under Kym Crowther on the hand, if you saw Tony e.g. in the first scene, guarantee most of the episode would be about Tony. Huge chunks of the cast would be off screen for months on end. It was terrible. Now, every character plays a part.

[Scarlett.]

Aye, it's like Natasha's story hits Fiz's story as we're reminded they still exist, the street just feels a lot more alive

[flemin]

There's still a few duds though e.g. Julie. Know what's happening with her.

[Scarlett.]

I think Julie is good where she is, she's more of a background character, I like Kirk as Chesney's older brother

[flemin]

Did I say anything about Kirk?

[Scarlett.]

lol no, I was just bringing him up

I think he is a good character he was used well in the Gary story

[flemin]

I still miss Blanche though

[Kerry]

Re- Gail yes, bang her up

[Scarlett.]

Me too

anyway, I'm off to bed now

Night!

[flemin]

Nos da.
