Coronation Street fans are demanding a cast cull to axe boring characters.
The ITV soap has almost 100 regular and recurring characters on the show – with more joining each week.
But fans think it’s time for a clear out.
And they want the characters they don’t like axed in a blood bath. Yikes!
Coronation Street fans call for cast cull
Writing on Digital Spy Forums, one said: “It seems like ages since they’ve had a proper cull.

“We need another.”
It’s been long overdue with Corrie by at least five years.
A second said: “Corrie, more than most, too many characters in the show that do nothing, add nothing and we’re not needed to be cast in the first place.
“Instead of cringe writing making them look and act incredibly thick and stupid they should just be axed.
“But Corrie insists on keeping these irritants around.”

“They could quite easily get rid of 10-15 characters who bring nothing.”
Another added: “There are characters I would happily see the back of in Corrie who are just covering the same old ground all the time and have been written into a corner they seem unable to get out of.
“And there are those who never get any screen time or storylines worth talking about!!
“There are others among the newer ones who never have worked for me and I would happily see the back of them too!!
“Trouble is my idea of clapped-out characters and ones who have never worked doesn’t always seem to tie in with other posters’ choices!! Lol!!”
Who do the viewers want axed?
Well… it appears no one is safe when it comes to who the viewers want to see the back of.
Names in their frame include Sean Tully, Fiz Brown, Kirk Sutherland, Gemma, Chesney and their kids and Nick and Leanne.
Does any of this seem fair to you? It’s true that Sean has become little more than a background character over the years, but recently we’ve had his bad boyfriend, his hunky dentist fella – and his son back on the cobbles.
And there’s been plenty of drama for Fiz, with her reconciliation with Tyrone hopefully breathing new life back into the character.
Who would you axe from the cast?
