Granada at fault

[Haley's Chopper]

The way Granada has handled the arrest of William Roache is pathetic. Removing his scenes from Fridays episodes is preposterous. As always in these cases it is the viewer who is the real victim. Granada should take into account that it is the actor William Roache who has committed the offence and not the character Ken Barlow. Why should viewers be deprived of the soap's longest running character because of what the actor who plays him has done.Removing Michael Le Vell who plays mechanic Kevin Webster from the soap is equally as ridiculous. Using the excuse that he is visiting his sick father has put tremendous strain on character Tyrone Dobbs. After months of physical abuse from his girlfriend and weeks in prison the last thing Tyrone needs is all that extra work at the garage. Is this the kind of pressure Granada wishes to place on a single father

Tyrone is happy now with Fiz and they have child care sorted - so yes, time for him to return to work, I would say - until the scriptwriters of Coronation Street decide otherwise

Both Michael and William are been charged with serious offences... Kevin and Ken are fictional character and either moving away is not going to put strain on another fictional. I am sure Alan (who plays Tyrone) rubs off his fake makeup bruises and heads home to his family..

Closing this thread as it was already posted and discussed in the other post about William Roach
