Coronation Street

I hope this isn't true. Why can't they allow David to be happy for once - and take the attention off the Platts for 6 months.

Boring Boring Boring.

I agree with Jez about the wedding. The whole plot is predictable and dull.

I'm so fed up with false cliff-hangers at 8pm. Corrie's become less about characterisation, drama and comedy, and more about what will bring the viewers back at 8.30 or the latest sensational storyline.

Very true, its all filler, build up, cliffhanger of late.

I totally agree about the Platt's - even with Sarah gone it looks like they will be at the centre of the action yet again. They have hardly had a break from storylines since 2000.

I also agree about these double episodes - once a week they could just about get away with but now its twice a week. Its too much.

where was Chesney at the wedding venue, he was meant to be an usher

Kirk told Fiz he had a bad cold in Friday's episode (I think) and Fiz said she was going to have hiim to live with her. I can only assume he wasn't well although with Fiz and Kirk at the wedding it does beg the question who was looking after him.

"I also agree about these double episodes - once a week they could just about get away with but now its twice a week. Its too much."

I think they should put one on every day of the week.

but he turned up at Liam's when he was ready and went upstairs with Ryan

Sorry, forgot that bit just remembered he had a cold.

A double episode? Why on earth would they do that?

I think he means one episode every day of the week à la Hollyoaks/Emmerdale.

Oh right. Well although im against it following the Emmerdale/Hollyoaks/Neigbbours schedule pattern and being on 5 consecutive nights anything is better than these doubles.

The trouble with Corrie is they never use these doubles to try anything different,


OK, it might not be traditional Corrie but it be great to see them do something other than cliffhanger at 8pm once in a while.


For example, having the 8.30pm episode set before the 7.30pm one, with an event occurring at the end of the 7.30pm episode and then the second explaining the build up to it.

Obvious example but say the first episode ended up with Maria catching Liam and Carla in bed, the second would then go back a few hours and tell the story of how they ended up there, rather than just going straight into the fall out.



Or similarly having the two episodes follow the same story from different angles - obvious example again but perhaps something around Violet and Sean, with one episode looking at their situation from his point of view, the next from hers.


I know it's not traditional Corrie, but really neither is double episodes twice a week.
