Fans of Coronation Street have grown unimpressed with recent storylines and are hoping that the soap does something to ‘fix’ this.
Taking to social media, fans have now demanded that the soap gets rid of quite a number of the cast.
They think that a cast cull is needed in order for Coronation Street to get back on track.
Coronation Street: Storylines are no longer exciting for fans
Currently on the cobbles, Simon is having a difficult time due to Peter’s exit. He’s been spending a lot of time drinking and waking up with awful hangovers.
Elsewhere, the Baileys are struggling with Ed’s gambling addiction. Michael almost died in a fire, with it being revealed last night (Monday, January 29) that Ed had known that the Builder’s Yard was on fire but failed to put it out.
In another storyline, Liam Connor is being bullied by Mason and his former friend, Dylan.
He’s been ditching school and has even taken the blame for starting a fight, covering for the bullies.
Now, fans are begging the soap to do something to make Corrie exciting again – and they’ve suggested a rather dramatic solution.
Coronation Street viewers demand huge cast cull
On social media, fans of the soap have suggested that Corrie gets rid of a number of characters so that storylines can focus on characters viewers actually care about and want to see on screen.
One fan asked others online how they would go about trying to ‘fix the show.’
Another fan then responded: “I’d get rid of a few that desperately need to go – Michael after last night’s stuttering performance, Ed, Stu, Eliza, Simon, Bobby, Mason. Stop with the violence and crime for a bit, it’s got to the point where it’s not shocking or exciting any more, it’s just normal Corrie life and it’s miserable to watch.”
A third fan expanded on the list: “Huuuuuge cast cull. Fiz, Ches, Gemma, Bernie, Dev and the twins, Cassie, Simon, Kirk, Sean, Izzy, Craig and Beth and Summer to go first of all. Probably more to go too.”
A fourth person suggested: “There needs to be another cull. Simon, Bobby, Max, Sean, Dylan, Alya, Yasmeen, Stu and Eliza.”
A final fan shared: “So we almost got rid of Simon tonight and we almost got rid of two [bleep] awful Baileys last week. This is painful. Think we need another team crash!! Cull required.”
