One of the problems of editors going for drama and not character driven plots is friendships disappear. I made the point some time ago that Pip hardly interacts with anyone in the rest of the village, she should join the cricket team at least. Corrie has suffered in the same way – but the new powers that be seem to be trying hard to reverse some of it. Shula, Caroline and at one point a young Clarrie were three girls out together and Pip should perhaps get together with Anisha and bring back Amy and they can trash the Borchester and Felpersham night clubs together.
