Coronation Street Is Horrible, Terrible, Dreadful, Appalling, Unwatchable...

Seriously, the whole thing just stinks worse than this horrendous Maddy character must do!
Horrible characters. Unbelievable storylines. No wit or humour. Just dreadful, dreadful, dreadful.
Steve, Lloyd, Michelle and that woman who I can't even be bothered to know what her name is - Dreadful.
The never-ending rubbish with nasty Phelan - Dreadful.
Tina/Peter - Dreadful.
And perhaps the worst of the lot, silly, fog-horn Sophie and this dingy down and out Maddy taking to the streets - Words fail.
Absolutely awful and probably the worst I can ever remember Coronation Street being.
Off button for me from now on until it starts picking up.
I'm sure this has been said ad-nausium on here in recent weeks, but I thought I'd add my two-pennith.
PS, can someone start a "FFS Get Rid Of Blackburn" thread? It's well known in the industry that DS has mystical powers with these "FFS Get Rid Of..." threads.

If that was the case then Holby City would not be saddled with Oliver Kent.
My advice to you is ...SEE A DOCTOR ......and quickly
Totally agree with you! I have watched Corrie for 35+ years and i can never remember it being as bad as this. Tonight's episodes were the worst i have ever seen-absolutley no redeeming features.
ITV need to step in now and stop the rot before viewers switch off for good-i actually cannot bear watching it at the moment-it is not the show we know and love-no characters, no humour and personality transplants to fit with lousy storylines (stalker Maria, Peter & Tina) and as for Squawky & Maddeh-does anybody care for these 2 miserable buggers!
I have watched Corrie since the very beginning when I was a young child. I watched the very first episode when transmitted.
Blackburn has ruined it and made it almost unwatchable.
I used to be upset if I missed an episode, but now I don't care if I miss an episode.
The continuity with characters is appalling now. he changes the character of a cast member to suit the story-line.
Corrie is so unbelievable now.
I agree!Its really kicked in since autumn and Ive now switched off.
Of course all soaps have their good and bad moments so I'm sure Corrie will pick up again soon.
It's had a great run but I think its gone way past its expiry date and is starting to stink.
They axed The Bill which was still good but had room for improvement but kept this.
Only good thing about it is the better scripted and 'acted' meerkats.
Well my original post is partly tongue in cheek, but there is a serious point, which is that CS is really being run into the ground by TPTB at the moment/
I'd rather re-live Derek's Gnomes than see any more of Maddy and Fog Horn in the gutter, that's how bad it is.
I completely agree with you too. There have been times in the past where I've thought it was a tad dull but at the moment it is just dire. The only tiny bit of respite is when Pat Phelan is on the screen. Finally-someone who can act!!
The Maddy/Sophie thing is ludicrous and the "actress" playing Maddy is just cringey to watch, she's so bad. Also I just cannot wait for whingey, whiney Tina to sling her hook.
But the piece de resistance of tonight's efforts? That dozy bint waking up and flinging her arms round Steve! Honestly...can it get any worse?
Award shows are just for popularity and plus there was the Hayley story pulling the show through.
Same. The Phelan storyline is the only thing I can really bother watching at the moment. Peter/Tina and Sophie/Maddie are dreadful and I couldn't care less about dopey Steve and super bossy Michelle. I do still enjoy the Platts and strangely enough, because I usually don't care much for her, I've really grown to like Eva lately.
Corrie has too many unlikeable characters at moment, and too many stories centred on them and others who it is difficult to care about.
The panellist awards are voted for by experts who review soaps for the whole year not just six months.
Completely agree I have turned off.
Stuart Blackburn has to go...it's that simple.
The Bill was intentionally sabotaged, they took a well performing show, gave it crap 'serious' makeover, changed its whole identity, and moved it from its traditional place in the schedule. It would have been very easy to fix The Bill, but ITV wanted to clear the 9pm slot, though why they werent more upfront about it, I'll never know.
On the topic of Corrie, SB only has a year left, the show will recover.
