I hear Erica is leaving. Good. She can take a few more deadwoods with her. Yes, Kevin. Dev and his awful children. Luke and his sister. The Nazir clan. Expose Phelan, once and for all. Billy and Todd. (For goodness sake!!). Rawzie. (Sawphie can stay.). Liz McDonald. Sinead, because her voice grates on me.
Yes, I agree about the dead wood. Of course, they are obliged to have certain people there in order to comply with our 'diversity' laws, but most of those you mention contribute nothing of any value to the show.
They need to keep Phelan, of course, as every soap needs its own evil bastard. Talking of which, he doesn't seem to have been very evil for a while now. Time to bring that back.
I recall watching 'Florizel Street' when it first started in the 1960s. Far fewer characters, but each and every one of them was a real character who contributed solidly to the story lines.
