Here are a few of your recent emails to us. Many thanks to all those who've been in touch, and sorry that the comments link still isn't working on Corrieblog - it's out of our hands, unfortunately.
On the (re)return of John Stape: "I think the return of John Stape is a bad mistake, the story of his 'exit' was spot on and it felt right that Fiz should move on, I think its a bad move, but, we'll see what happens!." [Chris H
On Michael Le Vell's visit to Canada: "Thanks Tvor for this write up and the links. Any news to come will be much appreciated. Kevin is a favourite." [Pearl]
On Uncle Umed: "I have no idea as to why he's there. But I do have to say that I find him incredibly funny. I watch episodes online, and during the last episode he was in where Tara's photographs had been delivered to D&S Alahan, he was hilarious. The way he stuck his tongue out and pushed them away. I re-watched that and laughed about 100 times. I have no idea why he's there, but he's funny. Currently, the only person on the street with a sense of humour these days is Blanche Hunt. It was nice to see another funny character. I like that he's a stupid old bubbling boob too. Everyone knows someone like that." [Blue Dog]
"He's foreign, awkward and benign, and I'm sure he has a purpose we haven't seen yet. It's nice to have a new character without his agenda thrown in our faces right away. For now, the more screen time Umed gets, the less there is for Michelle and the Windasses. That's a big plus." [abbyk]
"He is the most annoying person. Get rid of him he is spoiling Corrie, I hate watching it since he came and all my friends agree." [stage hand]
"I enjoy Uncle Umed, he is quite hilarious in a sense and I hope there's more comedy with him and we'll be exploring him further." [Chris H]
On Ashley and Claire: "Hoping they get a bigger storyline before too long, they're probably my favourite couple on the Street. I read about Josh's football storyline, but don't see that going very far somehow!" [Craig]
From: Coronation Street: August 30, 8.30pm. Will Hayley get to the wedding
