This is getting stupid now, what I liked about Corrie was it didn't depend on massive storylines to get ahead, now it seems the show only had these
The tram crash was good, but since then its all been about headline storylines, the plots no longer represent the characters, and the fact ANOTHER 9pm week is coming up is even more worrying. PHIL COLLINSON MUST GO! |

The John Stape storyline has been a ridiculous farce from start to finish so only fitting it should be given the most far fetched ending ever.

The no longer realistic thing is fine
but the fact that over the last year, we've had The demise of serial killer Tony (which was fine, this plot developed over four years), the explosion at Underworld, the Joinery explosion/tram crash, Tyrone's car crash, John Stape burying a body and killing two more people, tying three people up in a basement, falling seven stories then surviving, this isn't Corrie. |

This summer, including the beating up of Carla Connor by Frank Foster, the new resident psycho

I totally agree with you. I watched yet another untrainable episode of corrie the other night only to turn over to eastenders and see that Masood had tied someone up in a warehouse somewhere?!?! It's all a little bit unrealistic these days in terms of soapland and I honestly think that they have run out of ideas.

Eastenders is absolutely terrible at the moment. Corrie is far fetched but is still watchable if only for the laughs. Eastenders is packed with some really terrible characters that either can't act or are completely useless and boring.
Plus, Phil Mitchell's continued "hard man" act when half the cast are new now so don't really know 90's Phil or Grant etc is really laughable. He's over 50, fat and can't run yet everyone's mightily scared of him. Last edited by Marsh.; 05-06-2011 at 01:37 PM. |

Corrie would be fine if these storylines were spaced out a little bit more, letting characters develop how they used to

I have to agree with you on that, I have always thought it the most ridiculous storyline on Corrie. The acting too has been terrible.

As if John Stape would survive after that.

Get it? Got it? Good!

But you wouldn't be able to start a new Corrie thread every half hour without these storylines Chewy...

The light-hearted scenes are what's good about Corrie. I must say that the Becky/Tracey/metalpole scene the other night had me in stitches at how ridiculous it was. It was like one of those amateur horror films that are on late at night on the horror channels. The whole point of a soap is to represent the typical British community and their lifes whilst adding in a couple of farfetched stories every year to keep the public entertained. I don't remember the last time I had a kidnapping killer, a woman destroying things with an axe and a body buried under the local factory in the village in the last 16 years I have been living in Cornwall - let alone in the space of a few weeks.

Corrie cast are getting more worked up everytime EastEnders wins the Best Soap so the producers reckon EE are winning because of having big stunts and going for sensationalist storylines so they are following this procedure, nothing new.
