I think, if memory serves, there was a discussion on the blog – in the comments section – regarding the Molly character and her apparent weight loss. Well it looks like Vicky Binns followed the same route as Vicky Entwistle, but with less drastic results. You can buy her work out video “Dance it off with Vicky Binns” from Amazon.
Interestingly, while trolling the internet for Street news (I didn’t troll for very long, this information is very easily found) the craft services on set have been asked to please offer up healthier options for meals and snacks. Seems the producers are worried the actors are porking up due to the amount of “fry-up” breakfast available. Perhaps they could write a story line where Gillian Mckeith to sort everyone out. She could go head to head with the new kebab shop.

While I think Molly was just lovely as she was before, she looks nice and fit there.
Corrie is one of those shows that gives the serious romance roles to women who look a certain way. Note how Fizz’s romances are handled versus, say, Maria’s. Now that Molly looks more like a conventional hottie, maybe we’ll be seeing her in the street more.
I’ll miss her pre-workout baps, though.

You know, I like women who are not all abs of steel. It sort of made me sad that Molly has changed.
I hope, at least, that I will always have Fizz.

I’ll admit I like the curves better but she looks in shape and healthy as opposed to that startlingly gaunt look that so many young actresses unfortunately go for these days.

Hey, too bad they didn’t bring the storyline into the street – they could have a few laughs having Molly trying to get people to work out. If you compare actors from earlier episodes that are still on now they have gained quite a bit of weight, like most of us do. but have you ever noticed they are always eating on the show? It is hard to see an episode where someone isn’t eating something or going to eat something, or talking about eating something. It will be better for the actors to have healthier snacks. Except for Jack, of course. He needs his fry-ups.
