Coronation Street: Izzy is a ‘pointless character,’ fans complain

Fans of Coronation Street have complained that Izzy Armstrong is a 'useless' character following another brief appearance on the soap.

Izzy first appeared in Weatherfield in 2010, and was introduced as the new love interest of Kirk Sutherland – and was an enormous step in diversity and inclusivity as its first regular disabled character in over 50 years. Izzy returned to the soap last night (Thursday, July 31) as a part of Beth Tinker’s ongoing scheme – using Underworld to make and sell counterfeit goods.
