Old thread has hit 50 pages!

Not really enjoying this at the moment tbh I must be one of the few who liked Stuart Blackburn's time lmao. It's the same as with Emmerdale, Kate Oakes seems to rely on endless affair plots and pregnancies to keep the show going

Posted by: JosephStyles Mar 26 2017, 06:18 PM

I'm the opposite, Stuart Blackburn's tenure was a chore to watch, very little of interest happened, while now it's picked up considerably! Sinead used to be my least favourite character for instance but I really like the pairing of her and Daniel.

Posted by: Liаm Mar 26 2017, 07:34 PM

I didn't like Stuart's time btu Kate Oates is just as bad It's still a chore to watch for me, I wouldn't say it's worse because that would be very hard to do but it's certainly not much better. It's all so Kate Oates and given what she did to some of the characters at Emmerdale that isn't a good thing.

As for the Ken rumours last thread, I really don't think they'll kill him off. Bill Roache won't leave until he's dead or dying I think maybe he'll just be attacked by one of them.

Posted by: RosaParksMyCar Mar 26 2017, 07:40 PM

Sinead is the worst character on TV rn

Posted by: common sense Mar 27 2017, 08:58 AM

I think it's really picked up since Kate took over.

Posted by: liamk97 Mar 28 2017, 03:39 PM

People keep saying the quality has improved a lot but I don't find myself drawn to return to the show. I keep dipping in and out, but everything feels so incredibly plot-driven - most recently this Ken whodunnit. Watching the trailer, it just feels like a compilation of every cliche going and I don't find myself caring because you just know it's not going to be Tracy or Peter and the others haven't been in the show a substantial amount for you to particularly care about their motives or the prospect of them leaving the show or whatever.

Posted by: Ryan. Mar 28 2017, 04:08 PM

At the moment I'd easily bet it was either Amy putting the money behind the clock or Adam collecting that money that made Ken hear something, he came back down the stairs and innocently tripped over.

Therefore the only blame that can be placed is if Amy/Adam heard a crash down the stairs and failed to go and check what it was.

Posted by: JosephStyles Mar 28 2017, 04:11 PM

Amy was acting very suspiciously after the fall so I definitely think she at least heard him fall or saw what happened!

Just when I'd said Sinead was growing on me, she uses "wasn't thinking straight" as an excuse for aborting her and Daniel's baby

Posted by: common sense Mar 28 2017, 06:26 PM

Sounds as if he was pushed as cops start questioning all his family and Phelan and Sinead next week.

Yeah it was always obvious she'd come back, I never believed the rabid theories that Daniel killed her It was clear the whole reason she left Emmerdale was for this.

They legit look about the same age, she could've just been his sister surely? The teen mum thing is a norm in soaps but they could've cast someone who looks old enough to be his mother, or someone who looks young enough to actually be 16 and be her son. You can tell they just added this in later as an afterthought.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 27 2017, 10:40 PM

It will be Denise I imagine, BGT week seems right for a big reveal and a big return.

Posted by: common sense Apr 28 2017, 08:18 AM

Here's a DS post from a guy who claims he works on Corrie. We on there believe he does as he's been spot on with some info before.

I'm having to be careful with what I share at the moment because this is one of the most important times of the year for the show but thought I'd pop in and wet some appetites.

I've seen most of the BGT week episodes in portions and they're looking great. It is my job to think that but regardless I think you'll all be pretty excited. There's a deliberate strategy to avoid leaking most of the big plot points at the moment, some of the recent insider leaks have been deliberate misinformation being shared. I've seen various predictions shared and I think speculation is heading in the right direction in some cases but wildly off for at least one storyline. Don't rule out anyone just yet in the Ken storyline, even if they have been on screen. Also don't expect to see the responsible party leaving just yet, if at all. The decision on who would be the culprit was made a long while ago and ignore the media reports, the whole cast has known throughout filming. Billy and Todd will be getting a kid soon(ish), expect to see their living situation change. Phelan has his commupance coming, but not until the Autum. Nick will be filming for a few months yet, I don't think I've seen anyone correctly guess his exit storyline. Denise won't be around for long, at the moment. The Bethany storyline will be wrapping up relatively soon and will be getting a lot darker before you see the payoff you probably want, but I think the payoff will be worth it. This is Kate's first big storylines coming full circle and I think it's going to go down very well.

Posted by: common sense Apr 28 2017, 08:20 AM

Sounds good to me. Corrie's back on top form and unmissable imo again now.

Posted by: Mack Apr 28 2017, 07:59 PM

That was dark and disturbing to watch that scene with Bethany just.

Elated ofc as she's possibly my fave Corrie character ever but they ruined her and I can't see what there is for her to come back for. Knowing Kate Oates it'll be her and Peter have an affair again, but Peter ends up back with Toyah again afer leaving her for Carla

Posted by: Liаm May 21 2017, 12:05 AM

Actually I forgot about Johnny ending up as her real father, so at least she has a loose sort of family to slot into, it's not like a really random character coming back for no reason and having nowhere to fit.

Posted by: liamk97 May 21 2017, 09:04 PM

I don't feel like the character has been rested long enough. I had always hoped she'd return and I kinda guessed it would be inevitable, but the amount of crap she had to endure in her last couple of years really drained the life out the character, so I'd have preferred it to be another year or two before she came back.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever May 21 2017, 09:33 PM

Knew she would be back. I always found her completly over rated by Corrie fans, i always found her style of acting as whiney.

Posted by: liamk97 Oct 13 2017, 08:48 AM

When I first saw the headline that a major character was being killed off-screen, I assumed it might have been Alec Gilroy following Roy Barraclough's death back in June. This just seems like a pointless decision that does nothing other than put Joseph permanently back in Chesney's life, despite there being no problem with having him visit occasionally until the character is old enough to do something with.

Although, I suppose with it being revealed that Billy is somehow responsible for Susan Barlow's death in 2001, who also died in a car crash, perhaps this news is what spurs his guilt up again?

I find Phelan extremely watchable!! Conor McIntyre plays him to perfection, an excellent villain. The twist tonight was so cruel, I always thought Andy might not make it out alive but this was quite uncomfortable, yet amazing drama. I don't want it to drag on forever cause he needs his comeuppance before long really but I'm intrigued to see how far he'll go.

Posted by: Kath Oct 27 2017, 09:17 PM

As far fetched as it is - I've really enjoyed the Phelan storyline - mainly because of the performance of Connor McIntyre. Tonight's episode (the scenes around this episode anyway) was great. Connor, Oliver and Ian all played the story out well.

Although Phelan's character has been largely unlikable to most - there has always been that little shred of decency or humanity (keeping this totally separate from his darker past deeds) just visible enough to make you at least want to understand him.

Big news today is tht Bruno Langley (Todd) has been dropped due to a sexual assault allegation from a woman in a nighclub. He's gotten so much better as a character with Billy and Summer. And it's gonna be one of those rushed leave a note "soz I've randomly upped and left to go to Kuwait" things as he was immediately dropped and his last appearance is apparently Christmas Eve. But if he did do it then they obv have to fire him really :/

It's becoming very misery porn for the Platts isn't it? Bold move for Corrie to tackle male rape and I'm sure Jack P Shepard will do it justice, but it seems a bit too much for one family after all they've been through recently. The show as a whole has a very bleak atmosphere about it and I don't know how much longer it can take it.

Posted by: Andrew. Jan 23 2018, 01:24 AM

And this is her last appearance Say what you like about Anna but surely you can’t deny that after giving a decade of her life to the show the actress deserved better than that diabolical exit I just hope she’ll at least make one appearance when Phelan gets his comeuppance in like 2032 although I’m not sure how they’ll be able to explain her leaving her children on the street when she gets released from prison, or don’t tell she’ll never get justice

I hated what they did with Bethany tonight, her new job aside the way she just watched Gary get beaten without a blink and then was completely unsympathetic as he missed his own mum’s trial reminded me of the Bethany when she first returned to the Street. Obviously what Gary did was awful but I don’t think that’s worth forgetting everything he did with Nathan, the diet pills etc.

I’ve tried but Kate Oates is completely ruining this show, even under Blackburn it wasn’t half as bad as it is now :’)

Posted by: Liаm Jan 23 2018, 02:07 AM

Phelan needs to get caught out ASAP, it is ridiculous now Half the street knows or suspects it seems yet he just gts off EVERY bloody time. I'm not finding it remotely entertaining at this point, I know villains aren't meant to be likeable but for me any plot like this loses it when the villlain is stupidly treated as some invincible god just for the sake of a storyline. He'll probably get his comeuppance in the BGT live week, but good lord imagine another FOUR months of this :/ Perhaps now ANna is sent down he'll lay low for a bit and then maybe someone will find something to catch him out, but I doubt it given Kate Oates' fetish for him...

Posted by: jase. Jan 23 2018, 03:04 AM

Yeah I'm done with the Phelan stuff. I've been enjoying it up until now, but I gave the biggest eyeroll when Anna was found guilty and Pat was sat smirking at the end.

The Phelan storyline has gone on far to long and at the point of i dont even care anymore.

Anna's outcome made a mockery of the whole storyline and it was the final straw for me.

Lucy Fallon was certainly worthy of her NTA's as she delivered some striking and emotional scenes in her grooming storyline. Alison King is an actress however i feel is totally overrated. I was so disappointed when i heard she was returning to the show.

Is it only me who thinks Corrie is blowing the other soaps out of the water right now? It's must-watch TV every episode and the Phelan stuff is absolutely gripping. I just hope the conclusion is fitting!

Tonight's episodes were really well done too, some fantastic acting all round and nice to see some development in the Rana/Kate storyline again. Carla/Roy continues to be one of my favourite soap pairings ever

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 31 2018, 09:53 PM

I keep trying to get back into it but just can't. It just feels quite hollow and emotionless. I don't mind Corrie doing dark but they need to get some original ideas. The killer who stops at nothing to cover his tracks and the innocent one who gets wrongfully imprisoned has been too many times now and it gets less interesting the more it's done.

Posted by: jase. Feb 1 2018, 12:25 AM

I mean, Corrie's not EastEnders level bad but it's not the best atm. I'm so over the Phelan stuff, I'm not really fussed on the Rana/Kate storyline because I don't find either of them likeable, and the Eva/Toyah stuff is awful.

I do smile whenever Carla and Roy have scenes together tho and I'm looking forward to the male rape storyline because Jack's such a talented actor.

Random but did anybody catch the episode recently with Audrey/Gail/Sarah at the strip club? Now THAT was classic Corrie humour which had me laughing out loud

In a shocking development, Eva will lose the baby. She can't tell Toyah, so asks Nicola if she will give up her baby and Nicola agrees as it is the spawn of Pat Phelan. So basically, Eva gets hold of the baby, but has to pretend to Toyah it is hers, so then Toyah can pretend to Peter it is their child. Make the plot even more convoluted. Then Phelan will be back and try and abduct the baby, so he, the child and Nicola can run away together and be a proper family. This leads to his proper downfall, and Peter breaks off with Toyah as he feels that her actions put them at risk.

I'm sure Peter is fine as long as Toyah gets the baby she desperately wants, he's a grown man and has handled far worse in his life. It is clearly gonna go wrong all these wires being crossed. Like how does she know Peter won't bump into the surrogate or something and end up finding out? I know she "went away for a bit" but surely she's gonna have to come back.

For anyone who wants to know what's coming up as the Phelan storyline edges towards it's dramatic voilent climax in BGT live-show week. Spoilers for anyone who doesn't want to know but doesn't give much away anyway.

Eileen is stalked
Eileen falls victim to a stalking campaign as several members of the Street continue to believe that she was complicit in Phelan’s crimes. As her tyres are put out, abusive online messages are sent and her back door key is swiped, she is worried about who could have it in for her. But is it actually Phelan himself?

There’s a campaign to release Anna
As Tim and Faye look for ways to secure Anna’s release now that Phelan’s evidence is more than shaky, Daniel puts together a press release for a campaign and Nicola encourages Eileen to add her voice to it. Could Anna be set to make a surprise return?

Abi returns
After being unsettled by noises in her home, Eileen comes across Seb’s mum Abi who has a lot of questions – but Eileen sits down with her and is open about everything that has happened. She then invites Abi to stay with her but could she end up regretting this?

Phelan bides his time
Having adopted a new identity, Phelan will next be seen on screen as he hides out at a caravan – but he certainly hasn’t forgotten everything that has happened in Coronation Street and all of the people against whom he still holds a serious grudge…

Gary could be the next victim
As Gary starts work on the campsite, he spots Phelan from afar and then sets about searching his caravan. But Phelan is lying in wait for him, armed with a baseball bat and launches an attack, emerging from the caravan alone. Has he killed Gary?

Nicola will go into labour
Pregnant Nicola will soon be due to give birth – but will Phelan be back by the time her waters break and could the stress of his return induce her labour and force Phelan to deliver his grandchild? Executive producer Kate Oates hinted that Nicola’s child would play a part in Phelan’s end – so could the newborn be in serious danger?

There could be late night specials and it's not known yet where the sixth episode will fir in with the BGT live shows. Sunday maybe?

Fans continue to speculate that Phelan’s exit will take place during the week of late night editions that come annually alongside the Britain’s Got Talent semi finals – and it is looking likely. Corrie save their blockbuster storylines for this special week – and what better time than then to air Phelan’s curtain call.

Phelan will leave
There’s no getting away from it, Connor McIntyre is indeed leaving his role as Phelan so if you’re a fan of the villain, make the most of him while you can! Phelan is set for a big and final exit at the end of this – but whether he will die or be heading to prison is a closely guarded secret for now…

Posted by: Liаm Apr 24 2018, 10:44 AM

She was better than the Hat but I cannot stand her obsession with affairs and lies and secrecy People complaining were stupid though saying it's "got too dark" etc., it's not the 1960s anymore focusing on "real working class issues", and that's what's pushed her to leave. For the time that was nice and groundbreaking but if I wanted to always watch people sat in the pub talking about their day, I'd do that irl. It's not like there is NOTHING real about it, or it's Hollyoaks levels of contrived, other than Phelan's comeuppance being dragged out (but we all knew that'd be BGT week and at least they've slowed it by having them think he's dead, there's no way they'd have been able to keep him around properly til May) and the Eva/Toyah baby plot. Stuff like David's rape and Bethany's abuse in particular really needs to happen and be discussed, it's touching on real issues and helping people rather than just being another typical affair or pregnancy plot in soap.

Posted by: liamk97 Apr 24 2018, 12:32 PM

I don't think it's fair to say people are stupid for thinking Corrie got too dark. Kate Oates is technically a good producer but I think she was out of her depth with Corrie; she didn't understand the DNA of Corrie. You can have darker stories and you can have issue led stories but having so many at a time and in such quick succession is draining and lessens the effect. Kate seemed to justify all this because she inserted awful 'comedy' in between. That was never what Corrie was about. It was also never just about people sitting around talking in the pub or the shop all day, but those scenes did exist and they gave chance for characters to blossom and develop and make them feel like real people. These scenes weren't boring either thanks to the sharp dialogue and wit. I think this can still exist in today's Corrie and be successful with today's audiences if they strike the balance right with your Netflix style storytelling.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 24 2018, 12:36 PM

Emmerdale is at least pretty good at that, so it'll be interesting if Iain carries it in that direction. I always feel like Emmerdale is worth watching even when it's just "normal" stuff between storylines, which I don't always get with say Eastenders that tries the same. I get where people are coming from I suppose but I can't at people taking time out of their day to complain to Ofcom over an issue led storyline that is needed to raise awareness and is giving the soap some of the best moments and performances in years, to the point the producer has quit. Although if she wanted to see bad reception, try a day in Stuart Blackburn's shoes

It's not the storylines like Phelan (as tiring as that got in the end, it paid off in the end episodes) and the Platts' woes for me, she's just awful at the in between, which I agree is what Corrie used to excel at, and having far much of the affairs, lies and secrecy - the Eva/Toyah convoluted web of lies is peak Kate Oates really Jude's job is another one, I mean really?

Honestly I always thought Kate did a pretty great job at balancing the lighter and darker stuff.

Give me Kate's issue-led vision of Corrie over the crap that EastEnders are producing right now any day.

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew Apr 24 2018, 03:55 PM

She ripped out the heart of the show. And those people saying 'it's not the 1960s!!' and that they've always had dark storylines are missing the point completely. Those storylines were mixed with light and warmth not this constant misery.

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew Apr 24 2018, 05:36 PM

On DS there's a theory that Aiden will commit suicide, from the spoilers in a few weeks time and the whole kidney storyline it seems viable

Posted by: Liаm Apr 24 2018, 06:02 PM

That would be awful (as in heartbreaking, not like "don't do it"), it would be something that would be a memorable and impactful exit which they keep promising. And it would mean something for Eva too, so that both their exits are memorable as both actors seem to keep promising.

Also the spoilers that he starts giving stuff away (letting Summer go shopping with his credit card and giving Liam his watch) backs that theory up as well, that's the sort of behaviour you can see before suicide.

Posted by: jαsє Apr 24 2018, 06:09 PM

That'd be even more complaints then

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew Apr 30 2018, 09:39 PM

Aiden’s Suicide has been confirmed.

Posted by: Liаm Apr 30 2018, 10:09 PM

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how they tackle it, it's been a long while since I can remember a soap tackling suicide in such a way. There's been assisted suicides and stuff like villains killing themselves (which I guess is to avoid prison or they're totally unhinged sort of thing), but I can't remember there ever being something like this in a soap with suicide, it's more topical rather than a senstionalist end of a plot like the latter example. I don't know how to say it without sounding like I am trivialising "other" suicides, of course it's important to cover no matter what but suicide in soaps tends to be stuff like that, and I think it's so important to show that sometimes it isn't because you're some unhinged villain or you're dying anyway and want to take control, it can be something that just can't be seen or stopped, something you struggle with in silence.

The last time Corrie did this I think was Katy Harris, but that was still becasue she'd killed her dad and couldn't live with the guilt. Of course as I said that's still important and still tragic, but this is such an important point to make at present about mental health aside from just being a tragic or sad storyline, especially with a male character. It's 2018 but still there's that awful discourse in society that men have to just put up with it and suffer in silence because they're meant to be strong and solider on, and this shows what happens when people have that mindset drilled into them.

Posted by: liamk97 May 1 2018, 01:02 AM

I've not been watching Corrie so can't comment first hand, but it seems people have a problem with this development because there's been no build up. Viewers have not seen Aidan's battle with mental health; there's no heart or truth involved, it's just plot-driven and another box ticked for issue-led 'stories'. I assume Corrie is trying to show that suicide is out of the blue and will show the effects it has to the community; yes suicide is out of the blue, but not to the person who does it. That person struggles every day and it appears viewers have not been shown any of that with Aidan. No doubt it will be a ratings success and people will comment on how brave Corrie is for tackling such an issue, but is it really brave to completely dismiss any struggle that the person in question has experienced? I'm not surprised that people are disgusted with this story and how Corrie has dealt with other stories recently.

QUOTE(liamk97 @ May 1 2018, 02:16 AM)

Posted by: Liаm May 1 2018, 01:37 AM

There has been signs, but they've been quite subtle. For example he's being quite generous which can happen when people commit suicide, and he didn't seem to really be affected positively by getting the factory for example which seemed to be all he ever wanted. But admittedly I didn't pick those up really until Andrew posted above about it and I thought actually yeah that makes sense. I think they might be going for an angle of how hard it is to spot the signs until it's too late, so even if you notice subtle things then make sure you check on people and do all you can, but when it's something that hasn't been tackled really I think it would be better to properly show some of the signs and educate and raise awareness of those a bit more. People can't be educated on knowing the signs of when someone might be feeling that down and low without it being tackled on screen, and for me I think that's the most important part of tackling something like this. Perhaps in the aftermath, they'll allude to some of that in talking about how he was and feeling guilty that they didn't pick up on it, we'll see.We haven't seen this week also, that may elucidate that side of things a bit more... I know a week is hardly enough to build up that picture, but still. It's something I'm passionate about and it really needs to be tackled and talked about as it's the biggest killer of males under 45, I'm going to wait to see how they actually handle the process and see the proper episodes. With something like this it's hard to tackle it in a way that isn't too gruesome and shocking, and hard to tackle in a way that pleases everybody, but I am looking forward to seeing it play out.

Posted by: liamk97 May 1 2018, 01:51 AM

Yeah, I have heard about those subtle signs you mentioned, but as you say, for a topic that's not been explored enough on TV, it's not really enough to educate and raise awareness. Corrie could definitely have both shown Aidan's struggle over the course of several months and have shown the effects of the suicide that it has on the community and how some may think back on the signs they didn't take notice of etc. That's how I thought Eastenders would be portraying depression and suicide with Lee in Eastenders during those initial few months of SOC's reign, but we all know how that ended up.

As things stand, it almost feels like Aidan's suicide isn't even about him which is really wrong. I have no doubt the episodes next week will be done sensitively, as double bill of David's rape was, but to dismiss the struggle that Aidan would have gone through really doesn't sit right with me and, as Andrew said, Kate Oates has a tendency to take things to the sensational, so we may not get a respectful aftermath beyond a small handful of episodes.

Posted by: jjake May 1 2018, 02:53 AM

it’s one of the last few taboos and it’ll do an incredible amount of good to focus on it

Posted by: Liаm May 1 2018, 02:55 AM

Suicide is one of those taboos that is so hard to get right I think, I suppose there's a reason that it isn't tackled. It can either feel like it's not about the victim as this might be or if they actually showed more of it, it could be a bit *too* harrowing (13 Reasons Why got that criticism, for example). I don't think it's something we can really judge or pass off until we see it and how its done, because there are different angles to go about it. Like I said, if they do one route, you'll think hmm they could have done the other, so it's a difficult thing to do perfectly but when it's such a prominent issue it is ridiculous there's such a media silence. I know it's not a nice topic to cover, but it is so important as I keep stressing so I'll stop now

Personally I don't find all the gritty storylines too much or whatever, I see why some people might but when Kate is on it she's on it for me, I find the endless affair and secrecy plots awful but Bethany's abuse and David's rape have been done perfectly, so I have faith in this mostly, especially as it seems like Aiden's plot ties into David's and pushes that along. Jake also reminded me it gives Alison King something proper to work with which is always welcome, she's possibly the best actress in the show when given something proper to get into.

EDIT: Reading http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/interviews/a856029/coronation-street-spoilers-shayne-ward-aidan-connor-suicide/I understand the approach a bit more - Shayne has put it across better than Kate Oates in her similar interview so I have more faith. It might be a bit subtle in its build up but I think in the effects it potentially has on so many characters, this is going to be heartbreaking and potentially amazing.

Posted by: JosephAvery May 1 2018, 06:06 PM

I've picked up on Aidan's strange behaviour a couple of times so they've definitely been sewing the seeds. I guess they're purposely trying to make it quite shocking by not showing much of it from Aidan's POV, so we'll understand it from the perspective of Johnny, Kate, Carla, etc. I think it's more than box-ticking another issue or chasing ratings. Soaps have skirted around the issue of suicide for a long time and I think this could be a brilliant step.

Posted by: jjake May 6 2018, 02:20 AM

Tonight's episode was very emotional and thought-provoking. It was also totally needed to raise awareness of male mental health issues. I almost think it could have been either Aiden or David who committed suicide tonight.

Posted by: Liаm May 7 2018, 10:27 PM

That was incredible, it was heartbreaking to know Aiden was saying goodbye to everyone without actually saying it. I agree it was done so cleverly with David's stuff as well that if we hadn't known, it almost could have been the last episode for either (but that totally makes sense with how the two are intertwined in the coming weeks). I think this is going to be unmissable TV for the next few episodes!

That was possibly the best hour of soap I've ever seen. Pretty much the entire cast was incredible but especially Cath Tyldsley, Julia Goulding, Helen Worth and Jack P Shephard. Absolutely heartbreaking and such a powerful episode, every little bit of it mattered and felt needed and so real apart from maybe the Toyah shite (she's hideous oh my lord). Beth's reaction was awful too but people do have that reaction and I think it was important to showcase and challenge those attitudes. Gail's monologue was so powerful as well, that slither of 2 minutes shows exactly why she's a Corrie legend, and it was so perfectly done within the episode.

On a side note, Shona is INFINITELY better than Kylie ever was. Julia Goulding is such a star, she's one of those actresses who just shines even doing "normal" things, let alone in stuff like this.

That was a perfect conclusion, gripping throughout and a really satisfying conclusion. They really dragged out this Phelan saga but it was worth this episode which was incredible! I loved that Anna was the one to end it all, a satisfying full circle conclusion for her character. I'm glad both Nicola and Seb survived as I kind of thought they'd be disposed of to make Phelan have last evil deed, and they're both brilliant and really coming into their own recently. I really like Eileen kind of taking them in as her family as well.

Posted by: liamk97 Jul 16 2018, 04:09 PM

It's totally unnecessary. Baby swaps have been done far too much anyway but this one just spoils the impact of the initial story and any story that can come from this will not make up for that. No doubt said characters will be living harmoniously with each other a few months down the line as if nothing ever happened.

Also agreed and i include Carla.
Jenny is brilliant although she needs to move away from the Conors.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 17 2018, 08:03 AM

I'd get rid only of Johnny really, Kate is kinda awful but I think there's stuff to explore with her and Rana at least for example, there's some mileage. Michelle is fine when she's outside of that unit with Robert, much better than she has been. Johnny is just awful recently, of course he has the worst thing imaginable for a parent happen but the way he is treating people because of it is disgusting, especially Jenny. She has done absolutely nothing wrong, I don't know why the writers are using this aftermath to portray him as unsympathetically as possible, being so vile to her and Eva particularly and then the Liz saga. It's just quite dull now that everyone he's on screen he's gonna be spitting vitriol at Eva, looking miserable and snapping at Jenny or lusting after Liz.

Carla is ofc iconic, she has more than enough to do without her family too, like if we keep Michelle there's still that close friendship, and there's always stuff with Peter, the factory saga with Alya... She can easily stand on her own two feet without needing her family to give her reasons to have anything to do.

Some great points

Posted by: pippa Jul 25 2018, 04:46 PM

Valid points.
They should bring back Andy and build a storyline around him and not touch such a significant moment for Liz's history with the show.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 25 2018, 05:19 PM

Agree with everything there!

If they really wanted Jim to come back with a big storyline or someone else to bounce off, he could've had a secret child before Liz or something, I know that wouldn't affect Liz as much as Katie being alive but this is just totally jumping the shark. As said it was a huge moment in Liz's time on the street, definitive to her character, and they've erased it just because they are so desperate for Jim to come back, so they are. I know if soaps were exactly like real life it would be boring, and I suppose these hospital mix-ups do happen rarely but for it to be on the same street as where another woman who had it happen is ridiculous, plus how does a hospital f*** up SO badly that they think a dead baby is someone else's :/

Posted by: Liаm Jul 31 2018, 11:26 AM

I think she already has a bit, she's got a good heart deep down and just wants to prove herself (and maybe needs to say no a bit more, like when her friends came and she had a party at Rita's and they stole her stuff, and she didn't stand up to them but had a conscience over it).

I can see why they chose Sean - Anthony Cotton rarely has much to do and it makes sense in-universe for Sean because he has no family ties on the street. However, I'd agree that I'd rather he didn't have it :')

Posted by: pippa Aug 1 2018, 02:02 PM

I find Sophie as irritating as Sean. She is a very average actress who spends far too much time pouting which weakens her performances.

Posted by: Liаm Aug 1 2018, 04:03 PM

Yeah I thought the same, it makes sense as a character for it to be Sean more than pretty much anyone, Sophie for example has both Kevin and Sally who'd never seen her out on the street. Most characters that need a major story you could give it are in a similar position or have a home/business (like say Dev) so it wouldn't happen. It's just a shame that it's such a poor actor. Also I have majorly eye rolled at pretty much every promo interview he's done for this, as usual making it about himself, he keeps going on about a guy he met like once going homeless and what he did to help


I'm conflicted because it's a really important and real issue they should cover, it's just a shame the only character they could really do it with is Sean. I suppose they could have had Seb being a bit more forceful and Abi being homeless, but I think her trying to get her kids back is an integral part of getting her character established. I think they wanted to tell the story with an established character who's popular on the street to show that homelessness can happen to those you might least expect and the feelings of shame it might bring, how he feels he couldn't just say to Fiz he had nowhere to go so suffers in silence.

Posted by: Jαsє Aug 1 2018, 04:19 PM

Oh I get why they chose him I just meant it's a shame for them to give it to somebody with such horrendous acting abilities.

Posted by: Andrew. Aug 1 2018, 04:37 PM

One of the best things about Kate Oates' time is how she's reduced Sean, I know she has to give him a storyline eventually but Anthony Cotton AND Sean are both so unbearable

Posted by: pippa Aug 1 2018, 05:35 PM

The storyline is good but the character and actor are simply awful. I in full agree about Anthony making the storyline about himself and even worse using it as a reason for his attitude on Dancing on Ice. He had the same attitude on Im A Celebrity, in fact, anything i have seen him on he appears to have an attitude problem and over the top sense of importance about himself. Kate Oates, thankfully didn't give him much air time, ideally she would have went one further and axed him.

I am tired of Carla, she is the Mick of EastEnders, over used and added to as many scenes and storylines possible.

Posted by: JAKE Aug 20 2018, 05:19 PM

i think that’s A STRETCH; her storylines have been v family-centric since her return
and i think she’s fabulously acted and rather complex; mick is none of those things and he’s nothing more than a highly paid, overused and lightweight parody of a character.

Posted by: Andrew. Aug 20 2018, 06:19 PM

Carla’s return has been nothing short of disastrous imo there’s a reason why Alison King left in the first place and that’s because the character was completely burned out. Stuart Blackburn and Kate Oates seem to see Carla as an antihero who we’re supposed to love/a good person at heart when Carla was always written as a nasty cow who would do anything to get what she wanted. The Peter/Carla relationship was toxic from the start following from her rape, just who is asking for them to be together?

I get why some dislike Alya but having a confident young woman running her first business and actually having some AMBITIONS (in a street of Sineads) was really refreshing but of course precious Carla had to get her factory back. god the connors are vile and I don’t get why a) we’re supposed to like them and b) they’re shoved down our throats :/

Posted by: JAKE Aug 27 2018, 09:09 PM

the sean storyline was shocking; you didn’t feel any empathy for him and ppl don’t become homeless due to ‘too much pride’. homelessness is an important issue to talk about but it’s jot right when it’s done in such a misjudged, off-kilter fashion it’s tantamount to miseducation

They should have killed off one of Ryan or Ali if they actually wanted a "shock death". This villain of one week is dead, I suppose it moreso leads to Ali having a downward spiral and it's going to be about how they (and he in particular) deal with the aftermath. I mean ofc the circumstance of him murdering Ronan was a shock, but they shouldn't have advertised and built it up so much when that was obviously him who died. Hmm at "omg he's a murderer" yet again being a "dark side" to someone though

Tracey has been iconic this week though and I LOVE Abi, best newbie in ages.

I just spent the last few months getting caught up on this. Hulu has a years worth of Coronation Street to watch. The last time I watched I think was around 2010 when Tracy killed her Boyfriend or Husband and went to jail... so I was very happy to see her back tuning in!

I was a pretty light watcher back when.. but I do obviously recall Audrey, Tracy, Ken, Gail ect..
It's been a treat watching over the last few months.. sad I'm all caught up now but here has been a few of my favorite (and not) storylines

BEST:
Anything with Carla: I don't know if she was on when I watched before, but I love her so much <3. Such a boss.
Anything with Rana/Kate: I came in just as Rana realized she had feelings for Kate. I thought everything was expertly played out and somewhat realistic if it was to ever happen in real life. I don't much care for this Baby/No Baby storyline however.
Anything with Pat Phelan: Probably a touchy subject, again I came in a little later with that guy being locked up in that basement.. so I may not have seen how long this has all been going for.. or even the whole backstory but the ending(s) with his death(s) were amazing. Brilliant and captivating storyline for me!
Anything with Eva: Again she was another one that was new to me.. she seemed a little meek/quiet when I turned in (apparently she had something to do with the demise of Underworld which I never understood and people were pretty much abusive towards her) but the whole Baby storyline tied in with Aiden was just great to watch. I need her to come back soon so I can appreciate her some more!
David Rape Storyline: Ehhh.... not a fan of David and the acting, but they actually pulled this one out of the bag.
Aiden's Death: Pretty much executed perfectly and I never saw it coming. I didn't even read he had left the show. He was a great character but everyone else afterwards made the storyline so brilliant. I wish I had more time to watch him when he was around however.

OKAY:
Anything with Fiz/Tyrone: Okay this should actually be in the WHY/TERRIBLE category, but I do really like both of them together (him more than her). I guess it's the nostalgia. Both the cheating storyline and the grandmother storylines have been awful.
Anything with Todd/Billy: Okay I don't understand their relationship at all, or Summer fits into anything (terrible actress) or why they haven't just killed Todd off. Billy has been great however, his storylines have been terrible but I appreciate the effort he has put in.
Anything with Steve/Tracy: I love both of them, they were in my first round of watching obviously. Lots of nostalgia - but... god... give them something to work with please!
Whatever is happening with Sally: This has gone on a bit long now, hasn't it?

WHY/TERRIBLE:
Anything with Sinead/Daniel/CHESNEH: Sinead is just awful, I honestly can't listen to her voice. The whole relationship with Chesney was pretty obvious. I don't actually mind Daniel at all.. but she does my head in. I do also recall/like Chesney from before, but they've really killed his character haven't they?
Anything with Bethany/Craig: I don't actually mind Bethany at all, I came in at the end of her big story with whoever was pimping her out.. but her and Craig together makes zero sense. I do like her with that cute guy that's just come back (son of Michelle? his name escapes me - tho I'd rather see him with his non-biological brother Craig is just painful to watch however.
Anything with Adam Barlow: Beautiful to look at and listen to, but can they do something with his character already?!
Anything with Gemma/Beth: UGH GET OFF MY SCREEN PLEASE.
Anything with Mary/Jude/Jude's Wife: When he first came on my screen I thought, oh - there's someone I could get behind. But yeah... no... they basically destroyed any chance there. Terrible acting on all fronts. The wife wasn't that bad I guess. She could stay.
Sean being homeless: Another classic Corrie actor, but this was just awful.

Jesus christ at Kate legit seducing Adam to get a baby because Rana wouldn't do the whole fertility thing

I love them as a couple but Kate is abominable at times. Why can't they just let them be happy, I know if all soap couples were happy it'd be boring but it's just ridiculous now!

Posted by: CarrotNinja Dec 26 2018, 05:00 PM

I think Corrie is now better than EastEnders. EastEnders have brought back Alfie and Cat and now its gone boring again.

So is Lewis dead? Seems like it. Don't think he nicked Audrey's money though but reckon Nick did instead. Maybe he got her password somehow.

If Lewis is dead it will make more drama for it to be revealed that someone like Nick stole the money.

Posted by: Crazy Chris Jan 3 2019, 05:49 PM

Apparently they've filmed Lewis's funeral so he is dead.

The haunted snooker hall stuff with Peter, Dev and Kirk highlighted how Dev and Kirk really have passed their sell by date.
The Sinead cancer storyline really was given to the wrong character as i find Sinead extremely annoying.

Really fancy Gemma's brother and idk how I feel about that...

Also Chesney is f***ing abysmal

Do any of you watch or record Classic Corrie in the afternoons on ITV3? They show two a day. It's great, better than the current Corrie and they're up to April 1991 now.

I watch it all the time, from the beginning when they first started showing it on itv3. I missed a couple months around the time when Brian died, but I always try not to miss an episode now. I watch that more than regular corrie

I often have to record it (hate that its not on the itv hub), but sometimes I find the episodes on youtube if I want to watch it on my iPad or tv upstairs

Something to do with legal issues someone on Digital Spy said. Apparently that was the reason at the start of these repeats but you'd think they could have sorted such issues out by now. It's been on 15 months.

Yesterday's first one isn't on YT.

Gemma's brother is an intriguing character and i agree he really has that something.

Glad I'm not the only one His heart is probably in the right place, you've got to love a diamond in the rough bad boy.

I think Abi has to be my current fave, her with Gail, Sally and Yasmeen tonight was hilarious She's got right balance of heart, comic relief and can be a damn good actress in serious things when she has to as well.

Rana is getting killed off I know it’s the sun but they’re usually reliable with these things

FFS WHY NOT KATE

So the father of Amy's baby is: Gang leader TYLER. Sworn enemy of Simon. Storyline goes on months as she decides to have the baby.

The above exit is confirmed but not the circumstances

Abi is the best thing to happen to this show in YEARS

I simply cant connect to the Sinead cancer storyline.
Had the storyline gone to a better character it could have much more emotional.

This whole Nick as a villain thing is super boring too, ik he stole Audrey's money to pay back Elsa but now he's suddenly trying to go for this whole threatening villain vibe always there brooding and looming over everything and it just doesn't work.
