Coronation Street fans have done a U-turn on Lou Michaelis, going from wanting her gone to hoping she sticks around.
When she first entered the soap with husband Mick, Lou didn’t receive a great reception from viewers who took a disliking to Gemma and Chesney’s ‘nightmare neighbours.’
However, now that Mick’s locked away in prison for Craig’s death, fans are starting to take to Lou as an individual.

Lou Michaelis’ difficult journey in Coronation Street
Lou joined the cobbles at the start of the year alongside husband Mick. Mick was soon revealed to be the guy in the silver van, giving Chesney Brown a hard time.
With Lou and Mick moving in to the house behind Chesney and Gemma’s, they started causing trouble with their public rows and loud music.
Things got even worse when Mick proved to be really dangerous, beating up Gary and then going on to kill PC Craig Tinker by knocking him on the head with a baseball bat.
Mick’s now in prison, with the true extent of his and Lou’s relationship now coming out onto the surface. Lou has revealed that Mick often physically abused her over the years.
She’s now struggling to look after her three children – Shanice, Joanie, and troublesome teen Brody, with the latter being revealed as Lou and Kit Green’s secret love child as opposed to Lou and Mick’s like originally thought.
