I didn't even reach this point during the 2013 era

I feel like we're seeing characters from an outsider's perspective. We're basically just watching them going about their day-to-day lives and, like Marsh said, trivial matters... But we're not seeing anything from the characters' perspectives. It makes it difficult to sympathise with them.

Take Stacey's bipolar disorder for example, the producers did a brilliant job of creating the storyline through the eyes of Stacey. These days, the focus is sort of taken off of what should be the focal character, thus eliminating the audience's ability to be able to feel how they feel. Effectively, SOC has created distance between the audience and the narrative.

Worse than the Blackburn Corrie era

I feel like everyone has became so unlikeable as well

I think Redwater will be really good now that the main show is so bad

Laurie Brett had a few days off so Jenna Russell had to take on the role of Jane for tonight's episode.

Apparently she's shaving her head next and taking on the role of Phil until Steve McFadden is back from his break.

Denise finally crawls out of the Minute Mart where she was trapped for years and poor Honey gets sucked back in.

Be fair though - we had that one shot when Dot thought she was going blind and the camera went a bit blurry.

It's so unrealistic lately I hope they find a gem stone in the Vic when they repair the roof and it has ressurection powers and Ronnie and Roxy rise from the grave and all returns to normal. Or Dot wakes up from a coma and the last 12 months has been a wizard of oz type dream and Ronnie, Roxy and Janine are all back sitting at Dot's bedside.

And the re-casting of Michelle is just Dot's dodgy eye-sight!
