INFURIATED Coronation Street viewers have been left demanding that the show’s latest couple are axed with immediate effect.
Fans of the long-running ITV soap opera have not taken too kindly to show newcomers Mick and Lou and have suggested that show bosses quit whilst they are ahead and write them out of the show sooner rather than later.

One fan insisted they were the ‘worst ever’[/caption]
The couple were deemed the “neighbours from hell” when they first arrived on the show but so far fans have been left seriously unimpressed.
One fan has even argued they are the “worst characters” to ever grace the Coronation Street cobbles.
Hitting out at the pair and show bosses decision to include them in the show, one fuming fan said: “Absolutely dreadful characters. Written horribly, not evil yet absolutely no redeeming qualities.
“Not entertaining in any way. Awful, awful, awful.
“Potentially up there as the worst new characters ever for me. A real sign of the s*** show that is Corrie in the 2020s.”
Another added: “I don’t really get the point of them? Creepy man who sleeps with women behind her back and she just allows it and takes his side. It’s s*** writing.”
Someone else even predicted that show bosses would be forced to make changes to Mick and Lou, writing: “I wonder if we’re supposed to find their vulgarness endearing, like they’re a latter day Stan and Hilda or Jack and Vera. It hasn’t worked if that was the plan.
“They’re not remotely likeable as they are so I suspect they’ll be toned down to become salt of the Earth lovable rogues within a month.”
Whilst a fourth seethed at the programme: “A pair with absolutely nothing going for them whatsoever.
“Dreadful acting, hated them the moment I saw them. Can’t Kit find something s***e about one or both of them and lock them up for a seriously long time.
“Where the hell do they get these people from, it’s beyond me. Creepy, awful bloke and another female character who just makes women look weak and stupid! Cheers for that Corrie.”
Lou first arrived on the Street after she struck up a friendship with Gemma Winter-Brown.
It soon transpired that her husband Mick may be the man who had been following Chesney around in his van.
