Members DRW50 Posted November 6, 2010 Members Share Posted November 6, 2010 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) 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?

Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) 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. 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!"

Members DRW50 Posted November 15, 2010 Members Share Posted November 15, 2010 Blech -- Graeme, who along with Michelle and Nick among others helped me take a hiatus from the show, is #19 on the countdown. I wonder if any of that really has anything to do with the awful pairing with Tina that destroyed his character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 15, 2010 Members Share Posted November 15, 2010 Wow, that renders the countdown utterly useless then. Graeme above Emily, Ken, Deirdre, Kevin, Sally, Peter, David, etc. is ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 16, 2010 Members Share Posted November 16, 2010 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). http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=45683564&postcount=1 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. http://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/201011154505/corrie/anniversary/hello/1/ I do kind of wish she'd retire the leopard print... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 16, 2010 Members Share Posted November 16, 2010 Corrie will be airing throughout the week during the anniversary week: http://www.itv.com/presscentre/coronationstreet/week49overview/default.html 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 22, 2010 Members Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) 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 http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/gallery/2010/nov/21/coronation-street-television?picture=368822266#/?picture=368822266&index=0 Edited November 22, 2010 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 25, 2010 Members Share Posted November 25, 2010 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
