One of the great joys of watching Corrie is to see certain character types come around again and again. For example we have Sean (Bet Lynch), Carla (Elsie Tanner), Kevin (Len Fairclough), Owen (Len Fairclough again), Becky (Bet Lynch again), Norris (Hilda Ogden with a bit of Annie Walker) and Sylvia Goodwin (the other bit of Annie Walker with a spoonful of Blanche). Tommy Duckworth is Ray Langton for the new Millenium and there's every chance that, if she lasts the course, Tina will one day become Gail.
However, at the time of writing, I'm really not 'getting' the character of Eva Price. Childish - yes, spoiled - yes, vacuous - yes. She drifts into scenes, usually clutching some ridiculous handbag, with all the charm of a wooden spoon with a face drawn on it.
Could this be the week that the writers finally give Catherine Tyldesley some action? This mouthy, mardy (now there's a good northern word) piece of trouble could only be the sister of 'our Leanne'. Here's hoping that the character is about to be fleshed out a little - otherwise this wooden spoon may just find herself consigned to the back of the cupboard.
