It's a shame she never got a proper storyline of her own, hey ho!

I'm surprised she managed to stick around for so long without any proper storyline. I really like her scenes in the factory.

That's a shame, she was a good background character in the factory - really the producers should've come up with something for her to do

I can't say I'll miss her, to be honest. I am surprised the character's lasted five years.

Great, get rid of the only character who doesn't think the sun shines out of Becky's arse. Sigh.

Sorry, I don't think you understand the fact that the actress has quit.

Can't say I'm bothered, the character is crap and is high on my axe list anyway. Glad to see the back of her. Wish the actress good luck though because she isn't the worst actress in the world.

Oh, ok then: 'Great, now the only character that doesn't like Becky is off'.

Feel better?

Yes thanks.

Not really true though is it? Liz doesn't really like her, she puts up with her for Steve and Michelle quite clearly doesn't like her, plus Steve, Lloyd, Hayley and Roy seem to be her only friends so no one else is really interested in her either. Plus their's also Hooch who hates her.

I feel for the actress, and understand, she needs to consider her own future, but I'm not a fan of the character, atall.. she's been poorly cast, and under used, and is only really used as a sideshow, for Sean's rediculous lines, and situations..

Good luck for the future Honey..

I can't say I blame her. She never had a story so she is probably sick of it.

Corrie is going through one of its worst spells ever. A mish mash of mixed up storylines,along with hideous mistakes.

Tupeles character was going nowhere,she probably felt best get out. Sean Tully is another waste of space. At this moment their is no point to his character and not been for a good 2/3 years now.

The Windass's burst on to the screens and quickly disappeared, with only the odd appearance to remind us they still live in the street.

The Peter/Leanne/Simon snore fest is going to be accelerated by the introduction of Simon's grandparents.

Roy and Hayley who have so much to offer are now going to be chased around pantomime style by Tony,a storyline that we have seen over and over again. What an utter waste.

Once Joe exits,expect Gail to get involved with another undesirable suitor,David to throw a tantrum ,leading to another watery death

I thought she'd been there longer, she was such a fixture. Somehow she worked well as a background character but when they tried to build a plotline for her it never quite caught the imagination.
Shame because I like her.
