9 soap characters not getting enough screen time, including Martin Fowler and Debbie Webster.

Hey there, soap fans! Have you ever noticed that some characters on our favorite shows seem to always be at the center of the action, while others are left on the sidelines for far too long? It's something we've definitely noticed, and we think it's time to give some of these neglected characters the spotlight they deserve.

Let's take a look at some of the characters who we believe should be getting more screen time. First up, we have Martin Fowler from EastEnders. While James Bye's award-winning performances during Stacey Slater's postpartum psychosis story were definitely a reminder of Martin's potential, we can't help but feel like he's been relegated to the background lately. Selling fruit and veg on the market is all well and good, but as a legacy character, we believe Martin deserves a more prominent role.

Next, we have Victoria Sugden from Emmerdale. Despite being part of the show's original dynasty, Vic has been stuck in the background for far too long, mostly seen in her chef whites. Her brief relationship with Jacob Gallagher felt like it was just for the sake of creating drama. We think it's time to bring Victoria back to the forefront and give her a storyline that not only revives the Sugden family, but also allows her character to shine.

Moving on to Coronation Street, we can't help but feel like Todd Grimshaw has been unfairly sidelined. Sure, he's had some comedic moments with his boss George Shuttleworth, but we know actor Gareth Pierce is capable of much more. His sensitive supporting work during Paul Foreman's Motor Neurone Disease storyline proved that Todd should be front and center with his own plot. And let's not forget about Felix Baker, also from EastEnders. We were all excited when he first debuted as Tara Misu, but two years on, Felix hasn't been given the airtime we were promised. We think it's high time for the show to give him the attention he deserves, especially since he has such great chemistry with his step-cousin Bernie Taylor and co-worker, Chelsea Fox.

Now, let's talk about Amelia Spencer from Emmerdale. She may be young, but she's been through a lot, especially during the show's 50th anniversary storm. Her relationship with her father, Dan, has been heartbreaking to watch, and her move to the Woolpack has given her character a chance to grow. However, we can't help but feel like she's been pushed to the background since then. We know she's dating Noah Dingle, but they've barely been seen together. It would be great to see more of Amelia and her struggles as a young mom.

Speaking of Noah, he's another character who we believe should be getting more screen time. After turning his life around, he's been mostly absent from the show, with his recent split from Amelia being the only real plot he's had. We think it's time to see more of Noah and his growth, as well as how he interacts with the rest of the village.

And then there's Debbie Webster from Coronation Street. We love her and her one-liners, but it took a dramatic day for her to finally get some well-deserved time in the spotlight. Why did it take so long for the show to give her a chance to shine? We wish she could brighten up every episode with her sass and wit.

Last but not least, let's talk about Peter Beale from EastEnders. His return last year was a welcome addition to the show, but apart from a sweet reunion with Lauren Branning, he's been mostly in the background. We think it's time for Peter to have his own storyline that doesn't revolve around his relationship with Lauren. Let's see him in the spotlight and watch him grow as a character.

And finally, we have Izzy Armstrong from Coronation Street. Her storyline about the use of marijuana and cannabis to manage chronic pain was powerful and important, but since then, she hasn't had much to do. We love her no-nonsense one-liners and think she would bring some much-needed humor to the cobbles. Plus, there's so much potential for her to raise awareness about disability and offer advice to other characters, like she did with Paul Foreman.
