Following our blogger Graeme's great post about revitalising the Coronation Street women, I'd like to argue the case for Corrie to bring back the feckless fella.
The feckless fella has long been a staple of Coronation Street, usually playing opposite some of the strongest women on the show.
The dictionary definition of feckless includes the words feeble, ineffectual, futile, helpless. As far as Corrie feckless fellas go I think we can add lazy, disinterested and always looking for an excuse to spend time in the pub or the bookies; anywhere in fact as long as it's away from his wife.
To some extent, we can see definite shades of fecklessness in Dennis Tanner and there's some signs in young Ryan Connor. Terry Duckworth would be a good one, if he returns.
I did think Karl Munroe might take up the feckless-mantle of the great and the good Corrie feckless fellas but now they've turned him into a murderer and a stalker, there's no one left on Corrie with full feckless credentials.
Come on Corrie, we need a feckless fella. It's time to bring back the useless lump!
