Coronation Street

Watching an episode of coronation Street now is like watching a party political broadcast for the Green party, its covering too many topical subjects all at the one time. Watching TV should be a form of relaxing entertainments not constantly preaching about how to live our life's.

Is it really necessary to make every woman over the age of fifty a bumbling idiot. Gail and Sally have become impossible to watch, two once strong independent women are a pair of clowns and figures of fun.

Shame on you coronation street.

There was a time, when I used to look forward to watching Coronation Street, but those days are no more. There are a number of reasons for the decline in the show, to understand them you have to seperate the show into two eras - before and after Eastenders! The soap was significantly different before February 1985 - the year that Eastenders began. The characters were likable and you warmed to them, the stoylines were almost an issue free environment. In order to compete with the new kid on the block, the establshed characters, and their storylines became darker. New, more realistic characters were introduced, in the begining they worked quite well. We are talking about the period from 1989 to the early nineties. The episodes increased from twice a week, to the six we have in the modern era. The quality of the writing and acting has fallen dramatically. Many of the modern storylines are issue led, which can make for tedious viewing. I can't tell whether I am watching Eastenders or Brookside sometimes!. The show has become a shadow of it's former self,

Bobby coming into Corrie is the worse thing ever... he's awful only seen him in it twice and have already said if he's staying in it I won't watch again.. the way he acts is a joke... but not funny!!

No one acts like that and gets away with it, but it's so false so annoying !!

It's an instant turn off.

Get rid or get off!!!

And to think he can come into Corrie as soon as Peter left was a big mistake!!

The worse decision ever the worse acting the worse scenes.

Sorry but Corrie is trailing so far behind eastenders this has not helped at all.

I already want to turn over soon as he's I actually say out load oh no!!!

How rubbish some are Jack is appalling Sam is absolutely fantastic can't you at all look at your actors and even see how trash they are it is embarrassing to watch 30 years of cars I watched this season it's got to be the worst please try and do something about this it's atrocious.

I have been watching Classic Corrie and it is up to 2004. The storylines are better and so is the acting. At this point in time the programmes were shorter and this may possibly mean the script writers were not under the same pressure. Around 2004 the storylines were also believable, things that could have happened anywhere including the murders. At the moment the storyline includes Tracy and her baby and about the McDonald's reaction to it. No wonder Suranne Jones went on to bigger things, she was brilliant as was Katherine Kelly and others of that time. There are still some excellent actors such as the actors who plays Paul and Damien but there are also some actors who don't make the character believable, although that may be the writing. The solicitors, oh please. The police, dear me. I think the programme makers could do with sitting down and watching a couple of years worth of Classic Corrie.
