Sean, Lloyd, Kirk, Molly, Tyrone and Chesney should be axed because i see no point in the characters and if they have to stay give them something decent for goodness sake.

 

I don't think Molly & Tyrone should be axed they are looking to be really good.

 

For me I'd axe

 

Sean

Lloyd

Kirk

Chesney

 

Leave it at that I think and I'd bring in a family for Wiki ^_^

I am so sick of seeing the likes of David/Gail/Tina and the fact that there are no real stroylines recently to interest me to sit through 30 minutes of CS.

 

The writers of the show need to up their game, I know CS has always been more about more humane things, and is kind of a bit comedic in its intentions and i smore light hearted than EE but theres only so much light heartedness i can stand, so many characters woefully underused or given the bland comedy stuff which annoys me so much or its the same old charcters week in week out.

I don't mind Molly and Tyrone; I think they have a lot of potential to be the next long-term standard couple, in the same vein as Jack/Vera or Sally/Kevin.

 

Chesney has long moved past the point where he was "cute", but he's at the age where the writers could still take him in any direction they fancy, so again, there's potential.

 

Sean is a waste of space. It's painfully obvious that Anthony Tully is not acting, but simply being himself, so to see him win "Best Actor" accolades is frustrating. His character has also become far too whiny and self-absorbed to be likable. Which would be fine if he was supposed to be a character viewers dislike, but he's not. And as such, the character is a failure.

 

Kirk is a fairly unique character, and though I find him irritating, I appreciate he does his job and filles his role on the street well.

 

Lloyd...they need to give something meaty because right now he's just part of the wallpaper. Which is never good.

 

 

LOVE rat John Stape faces jail after being framed for child abuse by cheeky Chesney Battersby-Brown.

 

Ches wrongly accuses the disgraced former teacher of battering him and giving him a bloody nose.

 

It is all part of the teenager’s campaign to stop smarmy Stape (Graeme Hawley, 33) rekindling a romance with his sister Fiz. 

 

Fuming Fiz (Jennie McAlpine, 23) confronts her ex, bellowing at him: “If you want a fight, pick on someone your own size.”

 

Then she belts him in the face and threatens him with the police. 

 

Even mechanic Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell, 43) threatens to beat him up again. He has hated Stape since learning he bedded his daughter Rosie (Helen Flanagan, 18).

 

But in the end it is Fiz who looks a fool when she discovers Chesney has made up the accusation.

 

She learns it was Stape who rescued Chesney after he lost out in a fight over girlfriend Kayleigh Morton (Jessica Barton, 15).

 

And Chesney’s lies backfire on him big time when Fiz apologises to Stape for the misunderstanding and the couple embrace.

 

A source revealed last night: “The lies act as the catalyst for Fiz and John getting back together.

 

“Fiz feels stupid for believing he was guilty, and offers to buy him a drink to make up for it. One thing leads to another, the past is forgotten and they share an intimate kiss.”

 

The Corrie episodes were so good tonight. It was so funny when Tyron opened the egg for the first time and Kirk's voice popped out of it. :lol: And then at the end of the 8.30pm episode, it was so romantic and tearjerking. :cry: I don't know why, but it really was. :(

TONY TURNS KILLER

 

its true- corrie hunk liam will meet a grisely end thanks to evil tony. When the evil dodgy businessman discovers carla loves liam he'll deciede to get rid of his rival once and for all- and the real question isn't whodunnit but howdunnit?

"were filming three ending and i hope one of them is maria stood over liam with an axe" smiles samia whos alter ego is set to be widowed.

 

Anythings possible with tony-he could manipulate someone into killing liam or lose his temper and do it himself.

 

"there are loads of twists and turns and maria's going to be right in the center of it enthuses Samia. " I've even heard she'll have to watch her back in the months following liam's murder........"

 

 

The bit about carlas wedding day drama says:

 

Liams demise will come just as carla is preparing to become Mrs Gordon. And with the secret passion between the bride to be and liam looking set to be exposed thanks to Rosies mobile phone footage, a happy ending to the wedding distinctly doubtful.

" I cant wait for rosie to blow the biggest secret in soap" laughs helen. "This storyline is huge is so huge and the build up is going to be amazing".

With secrets and lies at every turn in the comming months will tony ever get his bride?

 

^ Sounds like Corrie's finally pulling its socks up at last.

 

It certainly can't be accused of shying away from controversy.

 

But after almost five decades on air, Coronation Street is set to deliver its biggest shock yet with gratuitous scenes of girl-on-girl gang violence.

 

It is the first time that the popular programme has depicted a 'happy-slapping' style attack among female characters.

 

And the scenes are made all the more appalling after appearing to capitalise on the fears of escalating teen violence across Britain's streets.

Shock scenes: Fans are calling for an end to aggressive storylines in the soap

 

It is a new low for the programme with some fans now demanding an end to the increasingly aggressive scenes featured in the long-running soap.

 

Fansites were today attracting angry comments from viewers with some even accusing the show of encouraging violence among teenagers.

 

The episode will be screened in September and will be aired before the 9pm watershed.

 

It shows four young women setting upon undercover police officers Mel Morton and Abi Sharpe in an unprovoked attack after the pair are sent to investigate trouble at a local bar.

WPC Abi Sharpe, played by Rachael Elizabeth, steps in to stop the assault on her friend (above) and the gang turns on her (below)

 

They are beaten with fists, kicked and stamped on and even have glass bottles smashed over their heads.

 

One vicious assailant shows no-mercy as she brutally stamps on Abi's head as she lays helpless and unconscious on the pavement before being left for dead.

 

 

Fans flooded internet forums today with one saying: "A Corrie catfight is one thing. It's a bit of a classic scenario to watch Eileen and Gail or Janice and anybody squaring up to each other across the cobbles.

 

'But isn't all the violence on Coronation St getting a bit much? It seems there isn't an argument that can't be settled without someone getting slapped or punched.

 

One who called himself Quiteman said: 'The writers of Corrie have for the last year or so been sending out all the wrong signals to our youngsters.

Vicious: One fan worries the violent scenes give the 'wrong signal' to young viewers

 

'I have been an avid fan for forty plus years but am now minded to switch to another soap. Kids think they can get away with murder after watching it. It's gone on too long.'

 

The timely storyline on this occasion comes comes amid concerns of escalating knife-crime and fears that many urban areas are becoming no-go areas at night.

 

Another wrote: 'It seems like the times when Corrie have tried to get "real". Like the mid-90s when drug dealers beat Des Barnes to death. A lot of viewers tune out.

 

'It's a cop-out to say they are doing this to show realism. They want drama pure and simple.'

 

Broadcast regulator Ofcom today revealed it had received one pre-transmission complaint over the violence featured in an upcoming episode of Coronation Street.

 

A spokesman said: 'It is the broadcaster's responsibility to adhere to the Ofcom broadcasting code. If we receive complaints from viewers after the broadcast then we will consider them.

 

'We have had one pre-transmission complaint but we don't have any power to act until after the programme has been shown and until then we can't comment on specific aspects.'

 

Ofcom guidelines state violence 'must be appropriately limited in programmes broadcast before the watershed or when children are particularly likely to be listening'.

 

It adds violence easily imitable by children should not be shown before the watershed 'unless there is strong editorial justification'.

 

Since the programme first hit British television screens in 1960, the ITV show has caused a public outcry from viewers on a number of occasions.

 

In 1977, writers came under fire after actress Anne Kirkbride's character Dierdre was molested and almost raped on the way home from an exercise class.

 

Last year, programme-makers were accused of copying the case of Madeleine McCann too closely after the disappearance of a child in a housefire.A night out on the town turns into a life and death ordeal for Mel Morton and her friend WPC Abi Sharpe, played by Emma Edmondson and Rachael Elizabeth respectively.

 

The pair are set upon by a gang of teenage girls who beat them black and blue in an unprovoked attack.

 

The random violence plaguing Britain's streets is coming to Coronation Street in shocking scenes that are set to stun viewers.

 

How good does that look :o I wish Mel didn't get axed :(

 

Ive kinda gotta agree with (alot) of people by the sounds of it. I think they are going to far.. Corrie has always been good at the funny catfights. Such as Gail in her dressing gown with Eileen.

 

I reckon Abi or whatever she is called will die.. I think Corrie will show the consequences of such actions. Which is a good thing..

Sounds similar to the Johnny Allen storyline sorta thing

Nonsense.

This sort of thing IS happening in society, and as such should be highlighted. As long as the show follows through and explores in detail the consequences of this, this could be a great plot.

Who are those girls?

I don't get why people are moaning... if anything it will make youngsters see that that sort of behaviour ISN'T acceptable on the streets...

How funny does this look :lol:

The devoted son and fiancée Molly track down Jackie to tell her they plan to marry.

 

When they find her living in a nice street, sweet-natured Molly assures Tyrone he has nothing to worry about.

 

Ex-con Jackie, sporting a new shocking bright pink hairdo, tries to convince them she’s a reformed character – but Tyrone still has his doubts.

 

So when he starts to feel he is being watched and notices his mum is nervous, right, he can’t help but be suspicious.

 

Sure enough,a mystery man turns up at her house and Jackie breaks down and tells Tyrone she owes him money and can’t pay him back.

 

When the situation turns nasty Molly insists they pay the man off with the money they’ve saved for their wedding.

 

A Corrie insider said:“Tyrone is devastated when his mum finally reveals her true colours.

 

“He’d really hoped she’d changed but sadly she’s as bad as ever.

 

“Molly then suggests they use the money from their wedding fund to help her but Tyrone is sick to death of bailing his mum out.

 

“In the end he has no choice but to pay the guy off. He’s left completely gutted.

 

“He really was hoping Jackie was going to start being a proper mum.

 

“But sadly it all goes horribly wrong. It looks like she’ll never change.”

 

Jackie’s dramatic return to the ITV1 soap will be screened next Sunday.

 

 

This Tony storyline is getting really good :dance: :dance:
