Teenage Invasion
Fans of Coronation Street are expressing frustration with the show's heavy focus on teenage storylines, with many calling for a major cast overhaul. The popular ITV soap opera has shifted its emphasis towards younger characters in the past year and a half, drawing comparisons to its Channel 4 rival, Hollyoaks.
Out with the Old, In with the Young
Coronation Street, once known for its family-centric plots, has increasingly invested in its younger cast. However, this change has not been well-received by all viewers. Liam Connor's bullying ordeal and Eliza Carpenter's constant home-switching have dominated the show, along with the various woes of characters like Lauren Bolton and Max Turner.
A Call for Change
Fans have voiced their discontent and are demanding a cast cull to bring back the show's former glory. Online comments express a desire for less focus on teenagers and more attention to be given to the show's stronger female characters, who have been featured less frequently. Tracy Barlow and Eileen Grimshaw, for example, have not had their own storylines in over a year.
Yearning for the Past
Viewers are suggesting that the show should bring back beloved characters such as Becky, Liz, Michelle, Shelley, and Janice, and invest in the rich history of the show. They argue that constantly introducing expendable younger cast members who lack acting skills is not a sustainable approach.
