The Monday Moan – Eileen Grimshaw’s Too Grim

Last Monday we had a moan about crap props on Corrie and this week we’re having a go at Eileen Grimshaw, the Streetcars controller.  Don’t get me wrong, we love Eileen on Corrieblog and we think Sue Cleaver’s fab.  And therein lies the problem. Sue Cleaver is a wonderful actress and Eileen is one of Coronation Street’s better characters. So why don’t they give Eileen a big juicy storyline instead of having her mope around the cobbles with a face on her that looks like it needs a strong cup of tea and a couple of Hob-Nobs to cheer it up? The only time she gets any action is when she has a fight in the Street with Gail in their nighties.  I reckon Eileen is well underused as a character, she’s wasted, especially when we know what Sue Cleaver’s really capable of doing. Corrieblog demands more from the wonderful Eileen.  Grrrr....
