Not My Corrie Anymore.

[Caran]

I have watched Corrie since the beginning. Have missed maybe half a dozen episodes at most. But it has changed so much. There is hardly any resemblance
To how it used to be. They have brought in too many weird characters all at once. I get confused who is who. I know I'm sad but I am really sad about all of this. What do you think?

[woofgang]

Sorry, but it never was your corrie, its a vehicle to sell stuff and they will do what keeps the viewing figures up.

[DaisyNonna]

Never watched it

[woofgang]

I saw the first one ever.

[Jomlett]

Gail inebriated is always a laugh...

[Caran]

I agree Jomlett

[hc4361]

I think the weirdest character was Reg Holdsworth.

[Butterbun]

They wont keep viewing figures up with these latest storylines. I've gone off it too in the past few months. I rarely watch it now, not really getting any enjoyment from it.

[Butterbun]

Same with Emmerdale.

[Caran]

Never watched Emmerdale Butterbun, but each time I watch Corrie I feel very uncomfortable with it, and I don't know why.

Anyone old enough to remember the scene where Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner approached each other from opposite directions of the street, handbags swinging, a pastiche of High Noon or some other such western. Pure comedy gold, and that was in the 60s.

[Hopkirk]

I remember the Reg Holdsworth water bed episode - so funny.

[Caran]

Hopkirk that was so funny. Also the Battersbys in. The bath when they fell through the ceiling.

[hc4361]

Emily up the tree on an all night sit in.

[Caran]

Those were proper Corrie, funny, happy lighthearted and believable. Where has it all gone wrong.

[ivor4781]

i think its going to be a very tough scene for ken to record when he has to explain why Deirdre is not coming back to Tracy

[mallyh]

i miss hilda and stan ......her awful singing and her muriel on the wall priceless lol.the storylines lately are so far fetched but i like the chap who plays andy /gavin .

[Cloverjo]

I haven't watched it for years. I used to love it, but stopped watching for the reasons you say, Caran.
When there were people who looked like models (Nicky Tildesley in particular) and there was doom and gloom everywhere, I'd had enough.
Why is Gail inebriated?

[mallyh]

its her 6th hen party

[ladybirder]

Gail was funny last night, I laughed out loud. Very few characters I like and not credible story lines. But I'm looking forward to seeing Roy's new relationship develop down at the allotment.
Caran, stop watching if it's making you sad. I used to watch Emmerdale simply for the scenery of the Dales but you only see the inside of the pub most of the time and the story lines and characters are ridiculous so I've stopped watching. I listen to The Archers @ 7pm instead of at 2pm the next day now. Haven't missed it at all.

There are too many episodes every week and the writers have to fill the time with something. Same with all the soaps now.
