Good for them but Eastenders does remember theirs too but actually move things forward present tense. IMHO now Corrie haven't got a chance of catching EE but I hope they have a great 50th anniversary.

They're old fashioned. Corrie is more like a comedy than a soap... Eastenders is a drama.

I remember when Mike Baldwin got alzhimers back in 2005, it was one of the saddest storylines I have seen in Corrie, a big character like him become what he came was sad, but it made good viewing and was one of my fave storylines

Soaps aren't necessarily dramas. They can be anything, and since Corrie came first, surely it defines the genre.

I do agree though, they need more drama. Take note Phil!

I agree with Stacey tbh. I love Corrie but it is seriously lacking in a more youthful cast.

This all sounds great however, I can't wait!

Rosie and David are the only ones who ever get very much screen time however.

where as Dev, Norris, Rita, Liz, Audrey, Gail, Sally, Ken, Deirdre, ect. are never off our screens.

Well Sian and Sophie have an upcoming lesbian plot.
Garys army storyline is also supposed to be quite big this year too.

Rita has been on a cruise for the past four months btw.

Love to see Hilda back. 27 million viewers in 1987 was some mean feat.
