and not a good day to broadcast it, when many were probably already emotionally drained by news happening in the real world.
Although to be fair, that wasn't Corrie or ITV's fault, unless they're able to see into the future. Like the bad timing around the factory hostages storyline...
I felt the episode operate outside of normal time. Evidenced by David's screaming coming and going, the deserted streets, the slow response of the emergency services, to give the Impression of the agonising wait for death to come experienced by those involved.
Indeed, if they'd have been there any sooner people would complain they got there unrealistically quickly.
This thread reminds me that if you like something on TV its best not to read internet threads or any kind of social media as any positivity will be sucked out of you by endless negativity, criticism and nit picking.
I'm still finding the idea of a murder storyline being rushed amusing. I prefer those drawn out murder storylines myself where Kylie could have been murdered over a few episodes!

On a different note, a clip from Anne Diamond's TV Weekly showed a top 10 of children's most watched series. Corrie was at number 9, behind The Real Ghostbusters.
I wonder how many children watch Corrie these days?
The programme made out that she was stabbed in the upper right chest, which would imply a stab to the heart, with possible puncture of the lung (I watch too much Holby City).
I am uncertain of any other vital organs in that area.
I don't watch Corrie, no idea really why I've stumbled into this thread, but... a stabbing to the upper right chest is unlikely to hit the heart, which is more mid-left-chest. Only vital organ in the upper right chest is the lung, but clearly lots of blood vessels around about that area.

I had no problem with the storyline - it was the press surrounding it I took issue with. Her death shouldn't have been announced and describing it as "a soap first" and something that's never been done before set us all up for a fall.
With Kylie's death tonight it's made me wonder whether Corrie should have a special theme like EastEnders use Julia's theme for when characters leave or are killed off.
In the past, Corrie has had the credits roll silently following a well-liked character's death, but I don't recall this happening for a long time now.

Yes they did used to do that right from 1960 when I started but I can't remember the last time the credits were silent at the end.
It is worth starting that tradition again though as it shows respect.
