Members Graham Posted July 30, 2020 Members Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) The actress playing Yasmeen and actor playing Geoff are putting in great work. The storyline is good soap all around. It's such a nice contrast to basically...every other storyline, especially the year+ bore-a-thon with Gary as a baddie.

Members All My Shadows Posted July 31, 2020 Members Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Thanks for sharing that! I really enjoyed Ashley back in the day, and I still haven't forgiven them for killing him off they way they did (and calling it a 50th anniversary celebration!). This is one of my favorite Corrie scenes: I just really hated it when they paired him up as a comedy double act with that goddamn Graeme who was supposed to be the comedic god of Coronation Street but fizzled out after two or three years.

Members DRW50 Posted July 31, 2020 Members Share Posted July 31, 2020 Graeme would probably still be there if the actor hadn't quit. Good for him. I was very fond of Ashley. I still hate that they killed him off. Corrie is alright to me at the moment, but I don't watch a ton. British soaps are pretty bad these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted July 31, 2020 Members Share Posted July 31, 2020 It's really a chore to watch Emmerdale but Corrie is great I think. I am totally invested in the Geoff/Yasmeen storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted November 28, 2020 Members Share Posted November 28, 2020 In these times you have to appreciate every little positive thing.... Apparently the current pandemic has forced Coronation Street to scrap plans for a big stunt for the show's 60th anniversary. Instead it's gonna be more of a back-to-basics situation, which even the producer, Ian McLeod, has acknowledged is more true to the original premise for the show. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-55101771 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted January 1, 2021 Members Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) I didn’t realize that one of classic Corrie’s best writers, Adele Rose, died at the end of 2020. She’s the one that wrote Bet and Rita’s ‘PALS?! PALS?!’ tiff (amongst many other classic episodes/scenes). RIP to Mark Eden as well. Alan Bradley was unforgettable and that was a great era for the show. Edited January 1, 2021 by BetterForgotten 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
