The scheduling for Corrie is so odd, they might as well trim episodes anyway. They air two episodes on Monday, one on Thursday, two on Friday.

I think the soaps could do with trimming but then, as you mention, who would go? I have a feeling the only ones who would be safe are dead weight like Graeme, Nick, Michelle, and Sean.

Why would Molly ever sleep with Kevin? He's not attractive in the slightest. Poor Tyrone.

The love quad of Nick/Leanne/Peter/Carla was the most interesting to me. Nick is kind of attractive. What broke up Nick/Leanne in the first place?

For someone who has barely watched this show at all, the Jack stuff was good, especially Vera showing up and Tyrone's heartbreak. I really like him.

The gay guy annoyed me for two reasons, other than that he's nothing but a nelly queen. 1) He wore orange. This is always unacceptable. The color should be banned from existence. 2) He sucks at pouring a pint! How long has he been working at the Rovers?

I think Kevin is kind of cute, and funny and he has a nice butt. This story trashed him -- before it started he was a really nice guy. I was more confused as to why he would be interested in Molly. The story with the two of them was just terrible. They began running together and this led to an affair, complete with horrible lines like, "I want to jump your bones."

They got married when they were both about 16 or 17, and they were too young to handle a marriage. The last straw was when she got pregnant and Nick guilted her into having an abortion. She never forgave him.

I can't get into this story, as I just do not like Nick, and I hate what they have done to Leanne/Peter. And Carla the pathetic drunk who has zero purpose on the show and falls in love with Peter after ten minutes.

The Jack stuff was good, though I kind of hate that he died kind of sad/angry over knowing the Molly/Kevin stuff and keeping it from Tyrone.

The scenes with him dancing off with Vera were just touching and classy though.

I hate Nick too. Him and his monkey ears. :rolleyes:

The Sophie and Sian stuff about the pastor and religious stuff was cringe-worthy. Despite that, I do like those two though. The show doesn't feel comfortable writing for them though, it's all "look we have two teenage lesbians!"

A few online Corrie things for the anniversary (I'm looking more forward to the stuff with Ken and the past than the silly news updates for the tram crash -- who cares about hearing about the deaths of characters everyone knows are leaving anyway).

A photo of some of the past and present cast. It's nice to see Julie Goodyear with the cast again. I can't believe they didn't bother to bring Bet back for Jack's funeral. Or Terry. Collinson seems to not care about the show's past or history, which is a shame.

I do kind of wish she'd retire the leopard print...

Corrie will be airing throughout the week during the anniversary week:

There will also be several timeslot clashes between EastEnders and Emmerdale during that week, which ITV probably did to lower EastEnders' yearly average, which is very close to Corrie's this year.

The Guardian's list of top 10 Corrie characters. Like the one for Eastenders early this year, this list has some fairly laughable inclusions to seem "relevant" (Roxy anyone) -- this one having

I was wondering if those who are still watching regularly have any opinion on the Carla/Peter/Nick/Leanne story? I am so repulsed by Nick, and by what they've done to Carla over the last year, that I haven't brought myself to see it. I feel sorry for Jane Danson. She's such a fantastic actress and finally got a great story with Peter, after years of just having stories where she was second choice to a man, and now that has been tossed aside so she can obsess over the creepy old man.

      MTV's Floribama Shore Kirk Medias is dead at 33 years old. 
    • Of course, sexy silver fox Dr. Jeffrey Russell has to be in cahoots with EJ so that Kayla's morals don't look selfish and skewed when she is completely in the wrong in letting Steve accidentally on purpose look at the important hospital files. Anyone find it funny that a handful of characters slurred their words today?  I can't quite explain it, but sometimes, like today, I feel like Deidre Hall plays scenes too light or passive, for lack of a better word. She's definitely more known as a charismatic personality than powerhouse actress compared to her soap diva counterparts from other soaps, but I just wish she could give me more. I did, however, like that her scenes with EJ got a 'to be continued...' about Belle. Maybe then I'll see more of what I want from her. Have Shawn and Johnny literally ever had a scene together before today? If they start having Sarah in a scene where she connects with literally any other Horton, then I'll be really impressed.  I'm glad they went through the trouble of explaining why EJ bid on Cat. It made enough sense, and I laughed when Chad spit out his asking about it as soon as humanly possible.

    • But Leslie is doing it all for her daughter.

      Such a liar. Great episode but Martin needs to be recast. He hasn't improved. I didn't feel anything for him because of his acting and the writing. He has been so isolated from Ted and Nicole that he doesn't seem like their son, much less family. Leslie is pure evil. She wants Ted and the house and the riches that go with it. She doesn't care about Eva. I felt really bad for Eva.
    • I dont understand the motivation behind it. Eva is her link to Ted and the Duprees and without her, she has nothing. It would have served better for Eva to be all fed up with her and leave the house on her own and Leslie try to make amends bc she needs her for this comeup she's been talking about. Eva can repair her relationship with Ted and maybe build something with the Duprees and cut her out
    • So good today Dante is overreacting blaming gio Hopefully Danny will come clean
    • Not mad at Leslie Locking Eva out, I think it's important for the audience to see her on her own for a while. Curious how scrappy and savvy she becomes on her own. Yeah, I am with you there. It feels a bit hollow; maybe if she was talking to Martin and Kat I would feel better about it. There must be more to this story. Daphnee and Ambyr owned this episode. Tugging my heart in every scene. Nicole process hurt and anger much differently than Dani though.
    • I also really enjoyed Eva's scenes with Kat today. They have an interesting chemistry. I thought it really did feel a bit like sisters at conflict. Especially with the way that Eva was trying to convince Kat to forgive Ted and them both coming to the conclusion that the man they thought was their father was different wasn't who they really thought he was initially. And the way that Eva broke down when Kat said that she was dead to her was emotional stuff. I really do think that in spite of their conflict/bickering Eva really would have loved to have gained a sister, along with a brother, father, etc... Also, I thought it was interesting how Eva kept saying that she loves Ted and Nicole. That and Leslie mentioning that Kat/Eva are almost twins really does make me wonder if Kat may really be her twin and Nicole's as well. I would gladly welcome that outcome, even if it takes a while for it to come out. At this point Leslie doesn't deserve Eva as a daughter as far as I'm concerned. And I would forward to a storyline where we found out that she's Nicole's second baby girl, and all the complex and ultimately happy feelings that would bring Nicole. Eva/Kat could still have a rivalry, especially if Nicole ended up doing some more bonding with Eva. And then we could get the rest of the family's reaction to that as well.
