Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Dennis tanner]

I think part of the problem with Sean is that he largely comes across as having next to no character development. Soap characters often change over time. For instance Eastenders, Stuart went from being Micks friend to being a nutjob to being if not nice, at least a bit reformed. Corrie has had their own examples, like Evelyn who went from being downright acrid to more comedic and over the years there have been others.

Sean while he has had some changes still basically seems to be much the same as when he first came in. Any character stories seem to be wiped largely and forgotten, his friendship with Violet, his homelessness etc.

Some characters need to be consistent.
