Corrie writer reveals scripting process
Coronation Street writer Jonathan Harvey has revealed details of the scriptwriting process on the show.
The 42-year-old playwright, who has also penned upcoming anniversary theatre production Corrie!, told Metro that different writers on the ITV soap have different favourite characters.
Harvey said: "There are 18 writers and we meet every three weeks for two days. Together, we plan 15 episodes of the show. We each write an episode each.
"People tend to pitch ideas for their favourite characters. I liked Blanche, who died earlier this year, which was a real loss to the show, and I like Norris and Mary. They're fantastic."
Quizzed about which stories he came up with, he replied: "I joined in 2004 and I co-created the character of Tony Gordon, who came in to run the factory, then started killing people.
"I've done lots of incidental camp comedy storylines along the way, such as Jason Grimshaw winning Mr Gay Weatherfield. It's been six years and you have to come up with stories every three weeks so I'm hard-pushed to remember what's mine."
Asked how new characters are conceived, Harvey said: "With Tony Gordon, it was because Carla's husband had died and it was a question of doing something with her. I suggested giving her a new man who turns out to be a psychopath, which led to bigger stories."

Perhaps someone should steal Jonathan Harvey. For example, Kirkwood.
He's been with The Street for too long.

I have been clear in every single comment I've given La Minogue (
) that I find her music cheezy, gay, *fun*, and for what it is rather brilliant. But you read into my comments that I think it's the second coming--it's like how I love True Blood but admit it's the pulpiest of pulp--and yet you read into my comments like I think it's Shakespeare. Too funny. But I find Kate Ryan pretty atrocious--it's stuff you could do on a Casio keyboard.
See, it makes no sense what you write. Why? Because though people are claiming True Blood is in deep sh!t and is atrocious at the moment, you come in and just dismiss it while also adding a bit of colourful spin about how it really isn't that bad. But it is, it's just that you don't admit it. But no one actually gives a damn, because no one shares your tastes on this board.
Not that it matters, but still. And when you're really dismissive, you're like MarkH: you sh!t on everything else only to make your faves appear better. You just pimp and have absolutely no good words for soaps and stuff which are better than your Loving e.g. And then you pull out that sh!tty book.And no Kate Ryan you can't do on a Casio keyboard. You could Kylie Shitmogue. It's the same atrocious bull, it's just that for some funny reasons you can't see it and will defend the sh!t she sings until the end of days.
But, please, continue, it's fun seeing my theses proven true.

Mädchen Amick is underestimated. Too bad we don't see more of her.
She could come to GH, e.g. Or wipe the floors with Katherine Kelly or Leslie Kay.

I don't think her problem was that she was too serious, she was just a mess. Couldn't act to save her life. She wasn't playing it too hard or serious, but far too over the top and too forced. She simply can't act. I wish Kylie Travis was given more of a chance to go up against her because she had the chops to tear her ass up. Madchen Amick as well.
Yep. That's it.

Oh nononono, you mock my music, and actually enjoy this Eurotrash cover of a French classic?? Next you'll be telling me you enjoy Kate Ryan's butchery of Mylene Farmer classics like Libertine and Desenchantee.
Eric, there is a difference! Whereas you claim Kylie is the second coming, I've never ever claimed trash to be a high achievement of musical art. Even when I post something here, it does not mean the song is a masterpiece. It means I bumped onto it, most of the time.

The worst part is Raquel Welch. She's a terrible actress and is trying so hard to imitate Joan Collins that it's laughable. The outfits, the accent, the diva attitude is just cringe-worthy. I dread her scenes.
Voilà. Just like I said in the CPW thread.

Lady Gaga and the New World Order
Lady Gaga's music videos are undoubtedly elaborate – but is there any truth to one blogger's claims that they are loaded with occult references and masonic symbolism?
<span style="font-size:9pt;">Dorian Lynskey
guardian.co.uk, Thursday 1 July 2010 21.59 BST</span>
<span style="font-size:10.5pt;">You might think that by know you've read more than enough online exegesis of Lady Gaga's videos but you haven't even scratched the surface until you've read the work of The Vigilant Citizen. This anonymous Canadian blogger explained last year's Paparazzi video with reference to the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind-control programme, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, the Eye of Horus and the goat-god Baphomet, concluding that Gaga was indubitably an "Illuminati puppet". Bad Romance apparently "offers a chilling description of a music industry ruled by the elite". In Alejandro, she "flashes in her fans' faces the symbols of their own oppression".The Vigilant Citizen has a good claim to be the world's most distinctive music critic. On his website, vigilantcitizen.com, he describes himself as a graduate in communications and politics and a producer for "some fairly well-known 'urban' artists". He has spent five years researching "Theosophy, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, the Bavarian Illuminati and Western Occultism". All of these interests converge in his insanely detailed analyses of the symbolism of pop videos and lyrics. Thus Pink's MTV awards performance mimics a Masonic initiation; Jay-Z's Run This Town trumpets the coming of the New World Order (NWO); and the video for Black Eyed Peas' Imma Be Rocking That Body advances "the transhumanist and police state agenda".
What's surprising is the methodical, matter-of-fact, occasionally humorous tone of his essays. He does not write like a swivel-eyed loon rambling about Obamunism (although, inevitably, there's an unsavoury fascination with Jewish influence). To those who don't study occult symbolism, he concedes, it might all seem "totally far-fetched and ridiculous", but for those in the know "I was simply stating the obvious". His examinations are certainly exhaustive. Scrolling down his densely illustrated posts, you may find yourself thinking, "Say, Lady Gaga really does very often cover up one eye. And a lot of pop stars really do pretend to be robots."
