Members MichaelGL Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 Sucks that he gets a promotion even though he's a complete and total hack. I just hope this means that with him being moved to a higher position, that we will get a new EP for Coronation Street, sort of like how they have Kate Oates over BBC dramatic programming, but Chris Clenshaw is the EP of EastEnders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 I’m guessing ITV has now modelled his new role and structure on BBC’s Soap and Drama department, so he’d basically be doing what Kate Oates does. I don’t watch enough of Coronation Street to make my own subjective judgement, but enough people say that his stewardship of the show has led to uninspiring output that there must be something to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 Corrie's been about the same (not very good/bad with occasional patches of OK) for a long time now - 15-20 years. There are producers like Kate Oates or Phil Collinson who get hype because they replaced producers who were not as charismatic or hyped, but their actual work was still horse [!@#$%^&*]. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MichaelGL Posted January 11 Members Share Posted January 11 I had seen the spoiler for this and it played out how i expected it; ridiculous and unnecessary. I thought they were working on pairing Aadi up with Tracy's daughter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted March 15 Members Share Posted March 15 Right now, I would say that Corrie does a better job of incorporating social media than any other soap, UK or US. The use of social influencing, the confusion over parasocial relationships, and now Roy being falsely accused based on internet sleuths are creative ways of using modern communication. I always think who needs Phoebe Wallingford, or Hilda Ogden, when you've got random folks judging strangers on Istagram? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/bbc-eastenders-boss-five-word-32376369.amp Seeing reports that ostensibly nobody experienced or worth their salt wants the producer’s job at Coronation Street. As one put it, nobody wants to be the middle of a ‘MacLeod Sandwich’ as Verify MacLeod is supposedly going to remain in place, while Iain bears down from his new promoted position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 (edited) It's mostly scapegoating. The show has been bad for a long time down to ITV refusing to let anyone make real changes or cut down the episode order.
