I tend to like characters a lot of people don't and two of them have been considerable beneficiaries this year, Sonia Fowler and Kim Fox. Both played really well by perfectly adequate actresses. The writing for Kim in particular has improved out of sight lately...
I love them both and I never used to be able to stand them. Moving Kim somewhat away from non-stop comedy scenes has been the making of her.

I've quite enjoyed Kim since she returned from her maternity leave in late 2014. Motherhood has done wonders for the character. Her current storyline is intriguing and gives Tameka the ability to play something with a little more depth, she's one of the most underrated performers on the show I feel.

I'm finally able to engage with Mick's storylines again, he's been such a prominent force for the past four years but this is the first time since about late 2014 that I've felt Danny believes in his material and I think he's delivered some really strong performances since the beginning of the stabbing story.

Bernadette has come on leaps and bounds as well, she's a realistic young character and I think Clair Norris has really improved as an actress as well. The chess storyline wasn't exactly groundbreaking but it's built the foundations of a solid character and I enjoy her friendship with Ted. I'm looking forward to them exploring Bernadette's sexuality, if that indeed is the route they're going to go in.

Both Tiffany and Kat are much better in this stint than they were in their last. Tiffany is a brilliantly underrated character (and although I could do with less of the #hashtags), she's a future leading lady for sure. Kat has been re-energised, Jessie is doing some great work for the first time in years and I can't wait for the explosion that occurs when Kat, Hayley and Alfie's secrets are all revealed. If they pitch it right it could be the 2018 equivalent of the Molfie reveal which was some of Jessie and Shane's strongest work.

Kim has been great this year, and it's good to see them giving Tameka more dramatic material to get her teeth into.

Other notable improvements have been Ted, Bernadette and Sonia.
