I took a brief break from it but started watching again but I can't watch it in 'live time'. I can watch 2 episodes in roughly 10-15 minutes, fast forwarding through Michelle (obviously), Fiz, Fiz and Tyrone, Peter and Tina, Tina, the Platts, Rosie and the pretend homeless one. Comes to something when I can tolerate Dev!
I'll hopefully be able to watch it again once that Blackburn character moves on. He ruined Emmerdale as well and it's horrible to see him do the same to Coronation Street. He's hopeless.
There are some good points to Corrie at the moment. I'm quite interested .in seeing how Leeanne and Kal goes. It's time Leeanne moved on from the Nick/Peter years. I want to see what happens with Kevin and little Jack. How will they do Ken's return.
Unfortunately we are in a continuous circle of Tina, Owen and Phelan and about to start on more of Tryrone and Kirsty. If t he writers could stop obsessing with certain characters and pushing them for months at a time whilst using more of the good actors they have and gave us a more balanced view, it would be an easier watch. Sometimes it's a bit of a chore.
I think the way they've handled the Peter/Tina thing (recently) has been quite brilliant. At least they haven't dragged it out. Honestly - I was sweating for Peter last Friday when Tina took her pregnancy test! I actually breathed a sigh of relief for him when it was negative. Its a storyline that I've been bored with until now - but now that it is reaching its conclusion I've found it very well done indeed. I loved the comic interlude with Peter and Steve in bed together too! (Steve MacDonald is my favourite character though - so perhaps it helps).
I haven't been paying much attention to it for 3 or 4 weeks. It's on in the background while I'm on the internet at the moment. There's just nothing compelling happening at the moment, and all the bland, boring characters are hogging the limelight. Where are the likes of Mary and Norris, who can always be relied upon to liven up episodes with their witty one-liners?
For me the lack of Mary and Norris is one of the few good things about it at the moment!
I'm not giving up just yet but the main storylines at the moment (Tina's ridiculous affair and the Phelan story on loop) are not exactly grabbing my attention.

you must've stopped watching! It's Sophie and the homeless one not Rosie!!!
Recently, I start watching, then leave halfway. Not so much boring, as unpleasant. The sleazy sex antics of Sophie Webster with a minor girl (I will probably watch if their is an episode where Sophie is prosecuted for this). <snip>
Is the homeless girl under 16?
I've watched Corrie for so long that I'll continue with it for the foreseeable. I really don't like the Owen/Gary/Anna/Builder (can't remember his name) storyline so tend to skip those scenes.
Phelan is excellent at blackmaiing the Windarses and Owen, Tina is turning into that woman from Fatal Attraction and peter is sweating like a stuck pig.
I'm waiting for Nick to go postal at Leanne and Kal.....
No, she is under 18, which is why Social Services are still involved. She's legal for sex, (provided she can find anybody desperate enough.........oh wait.)

Need more Steve and Andrea though.
Luvly jubbly !!
Agree with all this except for the 'more Andrea' bit. Although if it gives Michelle the kick in the teeth she so badly deserves, then I'll happily put up with more Andrea.

Yes, lots of arm folding and eye rolling.
I dunno why steve likes Michelle - she's hardly a bundle of fun. Andrea, however, seems to be on the same wavelength as Steve...

I've just seen last friday's episodes and I really enjoyed the episodes. However I was apalled at Michelle's abusive behaviour towards Steve. If steve did that to Michelle, there would be uproar
The problem with corrie for me at the moment is its sheer inconsistency- you'll have a good episode followed by a few more that are absolutely appalling. The Tina/Peter storyline is terrible and while the Beth internet troll thing had good potential I can see it's been just left hanging

Dont watch it then! No need to annouce it like a proclamation from the Queen!^_^
Same here.

Now THAT'S a boring show.
Are you kidding me

ETA Phelan, just seen ForGodSake's post
And you know this how?

It's because she's hot.
Because having a scowling snarling face is attractive, isn't it?

I'm quite enjoying everything else though.
I fancied a change from the old jump leads connected to a battery:o:D:D:D:D:D
