Default Corrie was just so awful this last week

The Connors, I couldn't give a proverbial sh** about them.

Not interested in that creepy guy in jail either who contacted Tracy.

Ken Barlow's love life is a real drag too. What the hell is Audrey going on about saying she has 'missed out' on a relationship with Ken. She's known him for 40 years.

Then we have Sally trying to push two reluctant lezzas together. So dreary.

Liz and all the old bags looking for love is boring too.

The acting has been appalling lately and the storylines should have all been binned - together with the dire scripts.

There were several points where I thoughts about dumping Corrie.

I can fast forward the episodes and largely do, but it's still so painful to sit through.

I've been watching Corrie since I was a kid. That's about 25 years. And in that time I have taken several breaks from the show. One break lasted about two years.

I got back into it last year and all seemed well, but it's really bad again.

I think the Connor family are the main reason why the soap is going downhill. What is this obsession with the Connor family???? They're so fecking boring. And OMG, that guy off X Factor, who plays Aiden, CANNOT ACT. He is TERRIBLE.

I can't understand why more different characters are brought in. It's the same faces for decades.

I have to agree with allot of the points above. ie these new ladys that have latched onto big ken and the conors except rob - he is brill.

its still more watchable then EE but is way below emmerdale. sadly corri has gone down in my eyes as well.

Thanks for the comment, Waterhog.

I have tried to get into Emmerdale, but can't. The acting and characters don't seem to be good enough. EE is only good at Christmas and New Year because someone will either die or get beat up, or something else horrible happen. Crazy to show that at Christmas.

It's funny when we stop watching and then go back again, how much is lost. Like I haven't a clue who Phelan is but apparently he's returning.

I watched it on Friday and I couldn't believe the central storyline was Aiden Connor's missing silk socks.

It just shows what a mess this show is that I'm struggling to recall which fire week you mean. There's been about 3 or 4 in the last two years.

I don't know why me and my mum bother watching Corrie all the time because half of the time watching is complaining. I may be in the minority but I really liked the Callum storyline, since he was killed in the live episode the quality has gone down hill none of the storylines interest me.

The new Connors are also diabolical as you said Gusto. All three of them are dislikeable in every way shape and form.

EE is picking my interest up atm because I think it's been pretty **** this year apart from one or two moments like Shabnams still born which was written beautifully. I blame their fixation with Bobby killing Lucy for me hating it this year because I just despise that storyline as a whole. However, now it's getting to Christmas I think all of the current storylines are interesting me.

HO has been dire this year too . Emmerdale has been the best soap this year by some considerate mile.

It's been **** since like 2013. The worst thing is that it's so boring and nothing happens
