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.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
