Digital Spy should make this a requirement of anyone posting on their fora:-
New Rule: If you cannot read for comprehension, don't bother to post.
Why?
Consider the most recent revelation about Letitia Dean.
In a thread initiated about the Digital Spy article, the opening poster (shellbiggs08), opines:-
NO. It wasn't. If shellbiggs08 had bothered to read the article for comprehension, that person would have read Dean's quote thus:-
At no point in that statement does Dean say it was her idea for Tanya to be Sharon's new BFF. All she said was that she wanted Sharon to have a girlfriend and that she hadn't had a close female friend since Michelle Fowler. She couldn't think of any remaining character, new or old, with whom she'd been close or with whom she could possibly have a friendship.

So the Tanya/Sharon thing was all her idea.
NO. It wasn't. If shellbiggs08 had bothered to read the article for comprehension, that person would have read Dean's quote thus:-
When I talked to the bosses about coming back, I mentioned that I wanted Sharon to have a girl friend. Since Michelle Fowler back in the old days, I can't think of a female character she's been close to. So it's been nice to see her have a mate in Tanya.

Considering Simon Head-up-the-Collective-Branning-Arse Ashdown was probably part and parcel of her character negotiations, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in determining a new friend for Sharon.
On another note, shellbiggs08 implied by the title of the thread that - surprise surprise - Sharon was taking another break, which wasn't the crux of the article at all. Far more important was the fact that the actress is slightly more than discontent at the weakness purveyed by her character this time around, and she's not a happy bunny. She's due some time off, so she's basically told TPTB to sort Sharon out.
It's actually positive that a long-standing character is defending what she sees as damage to her brand. Maybe more should have spoken out - like Jessie Wallace.
Update: And for what it's worth, NOWHERE did it say ANYTHING about Coronation Street AXING John Michie. The minute the actor's character lit those rags in the cellar of the Rovers, he knew he had a limited shelflife. Such a professional as that would know the score. Read for comprehension and stop making your stories up. This is how rumours start.
