fresh people need to come on board here.
I think he was best with Karen .But Suranne Jones has been
successful after leaving Corrie- so wouldnt prob return.
I agree with swmc66 we neef new interesting characters.
Re-hashing the same few characters leads to boring and
unbelievable storylines and relationships.

Your right she was his best partner. I completely forgot about her. I think his worst and strangest one was very early on .I cannot remember her name. The posh one.
Do you mean Vicky ? Alec Gilroy's granddaughter, her parents died and she had come into money.
Vicky was Steves first wife . Alec & Bet became guardians til she was 18.Quote:

Best bit was Alecs disapproval of Steve for doing all the
dodgy things he had done himself!
what would your character be like Dazzle?Quote:

Brilliant, Dazzle. Have you ever thought of becoming a scriptwriter for Corrie? :D
Thanks lol, but I'm a complete amateur compared to your's and Alan's inventive writing in the much-loved and hilarious All purpose soap storyline thread. :DQuote:

Simon Gregson has reassured fans that he is well and will soon be back on the set of Coronation Street.
The actor, who plays Steve McDonald in the ITV soap, was reported to have been suffering from a mystery illness and awaiting the results of blood tests, with claims that filming schedules would be affected due to Gregson's involvement in a major upcoming plotline.
Afternoon thanks for messages people I was now back in Monday to annoy @alanhalsall, hooray.

Gregson quipped that he will be making a speedy return to Corrie in order to "annoy" Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on the serial.
Andrew Whyment, who plays Kirk Sutherland, also wished his co-star well, writing: "That's great news mate, glad you're feeling better - see you in work on Monday."

Steve is currently at the centre of a major Coronation Street storyline about depression, and producer Stuart Blackburn recently told Digital Spy that there will be ramifications for Steve and Michelle later this year.
"On Christmas Day and beyond, we'll see a real challenge to Steve and Michelle's relationship. I absolutely know that Simon Gregson and Kym Marsh are very good actors," said Blackburn.
Steve is also expected to be involved in a shock mini-bus crash plotline that is due to air in the New Year.
Blackburn recently confirmed that Steve's storyline "will come to a head in January where a tragedy will strike that will force him to face up to those demons.
"This isn't an issues story though. Obviously depression amongst men is incredibly widespread and probably not spoken about enough, but this is just a love story between Steve and Michelle and a very brilliant one at that."
That's the trouble when you are at the centre of story lines for months.

Simon Gregson has revealed the death of Hollywood star Robin Williams has influenced his current depression storyline.
In a spooky coincidence news of the actor’s suicide broke on the same day Simon filmed scenes in which Steve McDonald was diagnosed with depression.
And Simon, 40, said it hit home that if someone as funny and upbeat as Robin could be affected by mental health issues then anyone can.
He said: “We were actually filming the scene where Steve gets told he’s got depression on the day that hit the papers.
“It was the first time Steve was told, ‘you’ve probably got depression’ and the first time I had to play this, ‘crikey, I think there’s something wrong with me’ on the very
day it came out.
“So it was a bit like, ‘wow, crikey, Robin Williams?’.“He was an unbelievably funny man – a genius.“ So it was even more important to show that this could happen to anybody.”
It seems to be an accepted fact that comedians
have a higher rate of depression than the general
public.Its tragic when this leads to suicide as with
Robin Williams - meaning his family & fans have
missed years of his talent & love.
But it is true it can happen to anyone and real life
jokey people can use humour as a mask whilst
suffering from depression or lack of confidence.
So I think Steve is a good character to portray it.
Dont think being marrried to Michelle would
help anyones self- confidence.!

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that her character Michelle Connor will have a big involvement in the soap's upcoming crash storyline.
Show bosses recently announced a dramatic New Year plot which will see a Streetcars mini-bus crash while being driven by Steve McDonald, who is taking Underworld's employees on a work outing.
While firm details are still being kept secret, Michelle has now been confirmed as another character with a big role to play in the story.
"You have probably read about the huge Corrie storyline that will be broadcast in the New Year," Marsh wrote in her OK column. "There's a mini-bus crash and I can exclusively reveal that my character Michelle Connor is heavily involved in the storyline."
She added: "It's so exciting being involved in such a dramatic storyline and having seen the scripts, I can guarantee you'll be glued to your screens. I'd love to tell you more but I can't."
Coronation Street's cast and crew will film the dramatic scenes before Christmas ahead of broadcast in January.
A Corrie statement recently teased: "Exact details are being kept under wraps, but more than one character will be hospitalised as a result of the crash and one Underworld knicker stitcher's life will be on the line!
"Locations for the smash are currently being explored to find a suitably dramatic setting for what promises to be a high octane start to 2015 for Corrie fans."
The crash will also tie in with an ongoing depression storyline centring around Steve (Simon Gregson), who is currently hiding his struggles from those closest to him.
Oh what a surprise !....:sick:Quote:

*sigh*
Is there any chance she could end up in a coma for a few years?
lets hope so- her acting guestures and mannerismsQuote:

Sadly tho I think.SWMc66 prediction above is more
likely. The producer thinks they are an ideal couple
and said something like- after Christmas Steves life
will be rocked by tragedy and this will cause him
to re-evaluate etc.
There are some poor & destructive relationships
in soaps. But its the ones we are told are"wonderful"
by soap hierarchy make one glad of real life!!

They have no idea who is popular or not. If I was a producer I would tap into soapboards and get a feel for how popular or not they are. Some couples are like Steve and Michelle and think it's love.
Most viewers seem to hate the loathsome Michelle with the lovely Steve, yet the Corrie team seem more determined than ever to shove them down our throats! :wall:
For some reason, the press makes us believe that Kym Marsh-Lomas is a very popular actress although on this forum I have not see a lot of support for her. I don't care either way really but I would like somebody different as love interest for Steve, a character I have always liked ..
It's not just on Soapboards that Michelle is disliked. It seems that most Corrie fans I come across online don't like her or her relationship with Steve.Quote:

If Michelle not with Steve-not much point
to her character in Corrie now. So they might
have to look for real news.
Hope Steve does get a nice new partner-not
an Andrea type.
He is an easy-going chap- just the sort ultra
bossy women zone in on.

Yes Dazzle...agreed. And they push Antony Cotton onto us like he`s the King of Corrie....and what a viile hateful person he is in real lifeQuote:

I wouldn't say Corrie's been ruined, but it's certainly nowhere near its best at the moment.Quote:

I think it relies on fans like us who have watched it for years. It would take a lot to make me switch off. Although I stopped watching others over certain storylines.
steve was happy in the bistro without michelle she causes his depression :p
I must be the only person to think this but I love steve and michelle together I do think they are a great corrie couple
I am sure there are others
You definitely seem to be in the minority, but don't let that put you off! I really like Yazmeen, and find her very funny, but she's hated by most other Corrie fans online from what I've seen.Quote:
