I know a fair amount of people really dislike it currently (me included), but what do you like about it currently?
For me
Tim and Sally - Really good couple that work very well with each other good chance they will stay together.
Scenes involving Mary, Deirdre, Norris and Emily, unfortunately theres very little of them.
Pat Phelan - Or i did, not sure if we will see him again.
Maria - in a minority but i like her shes a good actress and this SL sounds ok, being ruined with Fizz

Kal isnt that bad, cant be bothered with his dad though.

    I'm assuming you only catch the credits as surely only a silly person sits through a show that they can't wait for the end of!:)

    The humour - always loved Corrie's humour. Loved Mary tonight, for example.

    I like pretty much everything except anything involving Tina, Fiz, Sergeant Sniveller and Michelle Foldy-Arms. :)

    And yes, a great thread too, (especially tonight). :blush::blush:

    Maria getting a storyline. I know she isn't liked on here, but I've always really liked her. I like that she's interacting with Tyrone again too, being with Fiz has really dragged him down.

    Sally and Tim's relationship. I think she works better with Tim now rather than Kevin. The Kevin chapter of her life needs to stay well and truly in the past.

    Me too. Although I don't know who Sergeant Sniveller is.

    Granted I didn't think tonight's episode was the best and had a couple of dud moments but that's OK. It can't be full-on drama all the time. I think it is a great soap so I'm pretty forgiving.

    What I love about CS is the writing, the characters and the humour. They are good at creating characters you care about, who feel real, so it doesn't matter that sometimes things are a bit slow - that's life. I'm just as happy to watch the inconsequential filler moments, like chats in the Rovers or the factory, as I am to watch dramatic whodunnits. And because CS have created characters I care about their 'big' storylines are harder hitting because I give a damn (well, as much as is considered normal investiture for a soap, you understand :cool:).

    CS and Emmerdale are by far my favourite soaps, although tonight's EE has drawn me in.

    A lot of what I like about Coronation Street at the moment is about what isn't there. The sensationalism has been dialed down hugely from when Phil Collinson was in charge. There's not a whiff of a psycho or serial killer, nobody has been at death's door one episode and fine a week later, and nobody's in prison for a crime they didn't commit. Corrie was at risk of burning itself out if it carried on that way so I'm grateful to Stuart Blackburn and his team for that.

    Tim, Kal, Steph and Andrea are great additions to the cast. Tim has surprised me especially as I didn't like him at first. He and Sally are hilarious together and I hope the writers run with it and don't give into temptation and reunite Kevin and Sally.

    I have my problems with the show at the moment, specifically the way some characters are being written, and plots being dragged out, but on the whole I think the negativity on this forum is way OTT. It seems on here that every soap has to be either terrific or terrible with no middle ground.

    Excellent post. Agree with it completely. Just couldn't articulate so well. Or at all, as it goes. :blush::D

    Tim and Sally's relationship- they suit each other so well and are believable as a couple. Sally and Kevin have had their day, please don't reunite them, writers

    Bitchy Todd- this is a personality change I've actually enjoyed. His fights with Maria on the street have been very entertaining and he delivers those put-downs quite effectively.

    Maria's struggles- I've found this surprisingly refreshing and have enjoyed seeing her and Tyrone revisit their past. Given her disastrous track record with men, it is quite credible that she yearns for the stability and loyalty that Tyrone offered her in the past.

    Pat Phelan- a decent villain, who most importantly isn't a murderer.
