Because they want morons with experience rather than people with imaginations, sooty. Give us all a month and we'd soon turn the show around. ;D

Mike hasn't been flashy or feisty recently - maybe they're showing his deterioration already, as he gets more 'old-mannish' and less Jack the lad.

So's Reet and she can still shimmy. Though granted she ended up suing Silly Sally after she made her teach Rawsie and needed 2 hip replacements.
It wasn't worth Johnny Briggs getting out of bed for today's blink-and-you-miss-him appearance.

It's beyond me why he wants to leave really. He is hardly here, seems to spend most of his time in Florida, playing golf. It seems like he only passes through to pick up his wages. !! So why leave.  |

Yes and he even had his Florida home up for rent when he wasn't there.
I've got a great storyline. He and Ken finally declare their love for each other, with Mike intending to leave Underworld to his former rival. But Danny (who later turns out NOT to be a relative at all) kills him before he can change his will, little realising he's already done it.

;D Actually, I cheated with that idea. I did a story a couple of years ago which I'd actually started on the Rita's Hair Colour thread on the Granada board, turned Ken into a gay drag queen who loved Mike and apparently the hate was due to Ken thinking he was sleeping with the wrong Barlow.

You could be right Reet, all this supposed animosity between Ken and Mike could be UST. ( Unresolved sexual tension.)

So why leave. yes I think he might regret it too because I don't think he will get much employment now. He's left it too late. He's having a very cushy life so why change it. Perhaps he was axed after all? |

And, if you look at Daran's 'signs' Todd was always gay, they also fit Ken. They used the wrong character!

LOL! I have some grey (about one or two strands) so hair dye's a lovely invention. Better than fright wigs anyway. LOL! Maybe that's how Mike dies!

LOL Stix! That's how we met all those years ago!  Never did get an answer to my original question about how many shades of red Reet's had. Never mind. It was fun while it lasted. Patsy |

No. And I'm still waiting for them to explain properly how he can be his nephew. Immaculate conception?

It is strange..Mike has never mentioned any siblings...another case of re inventing their history...The viaduct next to the Rovers,Rosamund street finishing in a T Junction with Victoria street..The brewery being behind the Factory and Kevins garage.........

Yes. Mike was an only child of his mum (don't think she had a name) and Frankie his errant, randy dad. I'm sick of them changing history.

Well corrie.net say Barbara Knox was born in 1938 which is wrong. They also say something else about Barbara that's wrong.
