CORONATION Street fans have slammed the soap for ‘ruining’ yet another character – raging ‘they’re absolutely awful!’
It’s common knowledge that soap fans take their shows and the characters within them very seriously.
And for some Coronation Street fans, the changes that have occurred to Amy Barlow’s personality have not been to their liking.
Last year, Amy was raped by Aaron and has struggled to deal with what happened ever since.
Recent episodes have seen her hunt out sexual predators in nightclubs to try and save other women from what happened to her.
However, things went awry when one man – who had attempted to spike her drink – had ended up in hospital after Amy kept switching the glasses, causing him to overdose on it.
Taking to a soap fan forum, one Corrie viewer wrote: “What have they done to her character? She is absolutely awful these days.
“She used to be a normal character. Now she is vandalising police cars and taking someone to an industrial estate at night to leave them to die.”
Another took to X – formerly Twitter – to write: “Isn’t Amy awful. So unlikeable.”
Meanwhile a third tweeted: “Amy on her vigilante s*** again.”
But others were quick to defend the character, with one writing: “Amy Barlow is the best character in the show at the minute.”
Another added: “Amy needs to be protected at all costs.”
A fellow fan tweeted: “I really want Amy to get professional help. Maybe in future she may even find a career path to help women who have experienced what she has.”
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
