Coronation Street: Discussion Thread

Sarah Louise was written as a typical young heroine for Tina's first 5-6 years on the show. In her last few years they decided to make her "gobby" and materialistic and stupid, like Rosie. I can't say it did her any favors. Many fans were glad to see the back of her.

She's already been sacked. When Eva left, they needed someone to take her place. Eileen volunteered, but she was horrible, as was expected. Liz, Michelle and Steve were too cowardly to fire her until Friday's episode where Steve mistakenly thought Liz had done so and put his foot in it. Eileen will now use online dating to meet 'Adrian', which I think you know about from the All Soaps Casting thread.

The show has some great things going for it: Sally/Tim always being a highlight, the imposter story is good, except when it comes to Michael (who ruins everything), the Faye pregnancy story has surprisingly been done well so far and continues to look promising with Owen leaving (Hallelujah!), the Tracy/Tony affair is alright, but Tracy gets tiring quickly, the Dev triangle story was entertaining and the Jenny Bradley return has worked really well so far, especially for Kevin, but I don't have faith they'll continue doing it justice.

I do think it's kind of funny/strange that Nick, Carla and Leanne all don't have any story currently. And I really do think they have been slowly building something with Audrey/Ken, which pleases me, but who knows what will happen with Kirkbride's passing.

I'm indifferent to Luke/Maria (I almost forgot to include them) as I think he deserves someone more exciting. I find she's at her best with Audrey and David; part of the Platt family.

Callum annoys and Todd, unfortunately, is awful. And I will never understand why Mary is permanately stuck with the olds. The actress is not even 40 yet.

    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.    
    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
    • She’s INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad you enjoyed this my friend.
    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJS504ep-ff/ 14th Annual SOD Awards 1998 GH Edit with a Y&R shout-out to Bill Bell who is then seen in the audience.
