It barely clashes anyway. I think the BBC have cottoned on so most times EastEnders just starts when Corrie ends. But I do agree, it's incredibly petty.
The BBC aren't entirely innocent here - remember Fame Academy? But they were going through a rough patch at the time.
I really don't rate Peter Whalley much as a writer. He's always writing them, always, every week. His episodes are decidedly average IMO.
Johnathan Harvey is fantastic, as is John Fay, though the latter hasn't written an episode for ages. Only good line last night was Liz, "they've been circling eachother like pigeons" - made me laugh out loud but that's all. It seems that while Whalley can write an okay episode, he can't write excellent ones, like Sundays.
I found the writing of Tracy/Charlie's row very unconvincing really.
Is it just me who thinks that Gail buying David a car either for Christmas or his Birthday - not sure which as they're the same! - is ridiculous?
Absoultely. The secret car-park where all the characters park their cars when not using them must be full by now.
The Platts have a garage and driveway though? Doesn't explain where all the people in the terrace houses park their cars however
Considering they had the police over last night, the Peacocks really should have mentioned that their Citroen people-carrier was missing from outside the house.

That's true! I don't think the Peacocks have a garage do they?
"Michael Starke who played Brookside’s window cleaner Sinbad is set to join Corrie, says The Daily Star on Sunday. The paper says that Michael will play the head of an evil new family, joining the soap early in 2007. He brings five wild kids and a grumpy grandad with him. A Corrie insider told the paper that the new family move into Tracy and Charlie’s old house and will be the worst-ever family to set foot on the cobbles. "Let’s just say Corrie fans won’t have seen anything like it. This family will be absolutely awful and a huge shock to everyone on the Street. The kids will be the type who are always causing trouble and arguing. Mickey’s character is their single dad - but he’ll be just as much trouble as his unruly kids."

Oh great, Becky's enough for me. Do we really need / want "shocking" trouble making families? As the following post said, "straight out of Walford".
