Fans aren’t happy with the villain arc (Credit: ITV) Coronation Street fans blast soap for newcomer villain decision With Jodie turning out to have some dark secrets and being a new soap villain, Coronation Street viewers have taken to social media to share their frustration. They’ve grown unhappy over the soap’s constant decision to make recent newcomers villains. Think Becky, Carl, Theo, Megan, Jodie. One fan on X complained: So Coronation Street have introduced ANOTHER nasty character, when are we going to get someone nice, I always used to like that Corrie whenever they had dark storylines, they always had something amusing happening to balance it out, but now that doesn’t seem to happen.” Another person commented: “I feel the same, I commented on another post ‘Can a person just visit without becoming a villain?’ They’ve completely unbalanced the show.” A third added: “Completely unnecessary as a villain. You already have four, Kate. When will the producers get it into their heads Corrie doesn’t always need a bad guy/gal, never mind five?!” A fourth fan moaned: “Worst part is that all of the villains have not even been in Corrie for a year. First it was Mick, then Theo, then Carl, it only took February – April for all 3 of them to appear. Then you got Becky, Maggie, maybe Will as a villain or Megan, then Jodie. “At this point any new characters that show up you can only expect is already up to no good.” Do they have a point?
