Who actually cares about any of the three of them. The sooner they go the better. No matter what story lines the give them to force us to like them it will not work,
Coronation Street's John Michie has revealed that his character Karl Munro will become a gambling addict in a new storyline.
Barman Karl, married to Stella (Michelle Collins), won £1,000 from Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) in a game of poker earlier this week.
However, ex-Taggart star Michie has teased details of his alter ego's descent into debt after "a few big losses".
He told the Daily Record: "He is going to be gambling for a while and eventually he will have a few big losses, which is great for me.
"You know what gamblers are like, he has to lie, drinks a little bit more than he should and it is going to cause tension in his relationships."
The 55-year-old explained that his involvement in Corrie will increase in 2012 as a result of the plot.
"This is Karl getting his feet under the table, in a sense," he continued. "When I was asked to join the show, I was told initially they would bed me in and there is a lot planned for next year. He needs a strong storyline like this for people to get inside his mind a bit.
"I've really worked out who Karl is. It's just the audience who have to get to know him and that's happening about now."
Bad news. That means that we will have to put up with this useless family for a bit longer. I thought they were going to bin Stellaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh and her dodgy accent and pitiful acting.
Why would anyone want to get inside Karl's mind , the fact he's with Stellurgghh speaks volumes. Get rid of 'em and the daughter .

OH how boring another addiction story line, we have had Peter Barlow and CArla to drink, now this??
Is Weatherfield full of drunks, gamblers, murderers and rapists, good thing it's a fiction town, otherwise they would need an estate agent!!
Not really very exciting, Karl is not the most interesting person (even thou he's said, they would bed me in) personally would be better if he had a mysterious past, something we could guess at, but this????
ah well i can always record and fast forward
Michelle Collins is to be offered a new Coronation Street contract next month.:crying::sick:
The former EastEnders actress, who now plays Rovers Return manager Stella Price on the ITV1 soap, is said to have impressed producers with her stint on the soap and her character will be involved in a key storyline in the New Year. Pity she hasnt impressed the viewers
Her on-screen family - partner Karl Munro (John Michie) and daughter Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) are also said to be staying on the cobbles, and an insider told The Mirror that the actors were to be rewarded with new deals as "the viewers took to them". what absolute bollocks
"I am enjoying myself much more these days," Collins is quoted as saying. "It was a tough role to step into - like going into the royal family!"
A Coronation Street spokesperson confirmed the news, adding: "Everyone is really pleased." :nono: Im sure 7 million are not at all pleased
Collins first appeared in Coronation Street in June of this year and her on-screen debut attracted over eight million viewers. Who laughed at her po$$ poor acting, crap storyline and rubbish accent
So, is that a yes to Michelle Collins staying on then?
it's not Michelle Collins thats totally to blame for the familys lack of appeal, Karl "whats his face" is just not very interesting to a woman not attractive no endearing qualities (bit like Nick Tilsley) , Eva is a spoilt petulant young lady and we can of have enough strong women characters already (Becky, Kylie, Tracy, Leanne etc) so to bring another lady with not really nice qualities is something we don't need, so no one really is interested in the family
I think Trudie will maybe get better storylines and then we will warm to her, maybe an affair with the doc!!!
