'TV Presenter' Nicola McLean argues Soap Storylines have gone too far.
 

Just as a side note, what was the last thing, or even first for that matter, Nicola McLean presented?

not tv presenter :skull:

I'm her gozzy eye.

:joker:

:laugh2:

I'll bring my post from the Corrie thread.

same as ashley james labelling herself a presenter. just doesnt work

Personally I wouldn’t take much notice of anything she has to say!

Tbh when I watched Richard Hillman batter Emily and Maxine with a crowbar when I was 10 it scared the **** out of me.

And I loved it.

The poor love. She turned to Chris and still had one eye on Kate Garraway.

:joker:

caah

TV presenter ? The only thing she'll ever be is a 'Nicola' presenter picking up a few quid for a few moments on various tv shows.

Presenter 'my arse' she always spouts rubbish .

Not a harrowing resurgence

Nic didn't have a leg to stand on :joker:

I loved when Queen Oates told ha that Corrie wasn't designed for 7 year olds. :clap1:

Educate ha!

Ms Oates scalped Garraway

Who are we to argue with TV presenting royalty

Who died and made her mother Tereasa ? If she is worried about her kids being badly influenced she better sweep her own doorstep before she starts trying to tell others what they should do.

Every time Kate Oates spoke I kept expecting to hear Nicola shouting "Vile" in the background or "Don't you come to her!" when she started on Kate Garraway.

I really can't abide the woman but for once I agree with her. Coronation is horridly morbid and miserable these days and totally lost it's humour. The David Platt rape storyline made me feel really uncomfortable and I switched off. So soon after the paedophile storyline too that was depressing. Bring back Corrie of old I say.

I'm screaming :joker::joker::joker:

"DON'T DARE!!!"

Wow if Nicola thinks this then I guess it’s time for soaps to go

do you like storylines of people being abused or murdered?

I miss when entertainment used to be entertaining

Not the point really. Nicola's whole argument was about it being inappropriate for her 7 year old. Simple answer: Her 7 year old shouldn't be watching anyway. Soaps have told murder and abuse plots for decades. Time for her and all those like her to take responsibility for what they watch on television, and not expect television to parent their children for them.

I remember seeing Tracy Barlow get sent down when I was 7 and I LOVED IT! All seven year olds should enjoy Corrie. They should do a Corrie spin-off for kids so McLean's kids can wander the cobbles

Has she even met her kids?

..it’s a tricky one really...I do understand Nicola’s concerns...but ‘exposure’ is not always preventable so easily as moving a time slot to a later time...that later time would still leave for exposure to many 12yr olds, so older siblings...of which her 7yr old has, an older sibling...who also has access to social media, where these storylines are often discussed...that’s the thing, we can ‘police’ our own children in what they view...but we have no control of policing our children’s peers...so exposure is often an inevitable thing, regardless of time slots ..

...she will know what her children’s ‘limitations and levels’ are in terms of their understandings etc ...there are options...(...which I’m sure her parenting adopts..)...of watching these things with her child, which allows her to ‘monitor’ any possible distress and discuss at the time...crikey, I’ve completely lost my train of thought so I’ll leave it there - Marsh’s fault, he’s not taking responsibility for me and monitoring me like he should be...)...anyways, yeah...exposure isn’t always through directly watching...it can be through ‘7yr old conversations’ also...and there are many ‘exposure’ things which can create that...which are beyond a direct parental control....

...she’s obviously a great parent to have these concerns..:love:..

...back in the day when I was a child...the Coronation Street music was always bedtime..:laugh:...so if I hear it now, it makes me feel sleepy because of the association...it was always considered ‘adult’ ...for me anyway...but then, if a child didn’t watch it, wasn’t allowed to...there wasn’t the exposure from the many other sources that there is in the here and now...so that was just that of that really....
