Coronation Street?

[elliemay1]

Just wondering if anyone still watches this. The murder investigation is still dragging on and it's getting more ridiculous with every episode. Who writes this stuff?

Haven't watched it for years and years, since David Platt was about 5.  Corrie, Emmerdale, EE, all merge into one now.  Bring back Hilda Ogden that's what l say.

We watch it. If I remember rightly Ed and Ronnie were out that night hunting for Joel with a crowbar; so was Dee Dee.  DI Swain was in a tussle with a stranger; can't remember what Carla was doing but it was something she shouldn't have been. 

Now it seems Max and Lauren were also out on the prowl.

Have I forgotten anyone?

My money's on Kit. He's a wrong un

Defo Kit, very dodgy 🙃

[elliemay1]

Yes, it seems to be Kit but how much longer is it going to drag on!

All will be revealed on Friday.

I was surprised they didn't drag Paul's death out until Christmas

A Detective Constable would n't arrest and interview a Detective Sergeant in real life, it would be a senior officer that would do that. Why don't they get the facts right on these programmes.

I was hoping that they wouldn't drag the murder out until Christmas!

It wouldn't make such a 'good' story 😉

I stopped watching Coronation Street about 8 years ago, after being a devoted fan from the very first episode in 1960, when I was 10, and had to go round to my friend's house to watch it, because my parents had no TV.  

Corrie used to be entertaining, with strong, colourful characters that we could identify and laugh at, at the same time.  Plotlines were often serious social issues, but always there was the element of realism and humour in them.  

About ten years ago, corrie became a ridiculous hotchpotch of murder, mayhem and far fetched stories, with flimsy characterisation and no humour at all.  

I wouldn't go back to it.  I'm surprised it is still surviving.

Its well past its sell by date along with many of the soaps. It promotes a subculture that leads the more impressionable to thing the trash they push is normal life. The people arent acting, they`ve been doing it so long they are just playing themselves.

There is so little around to stretch or entertain that many people, including myself, are resorting to rewatching box sets of quality.
