Why didn't DS talk to Blackburn about our concerns over Corrie's quality

It seems strange this wasn't addressed, it's one of the most talked about things on this forum these days.

It doesn't pay them to ask any hard hitting questions. Any risk of potentially getting less information from ITV in the future, if an interview goes terribly, resulting in less pageviews and advertising revenue for Hearst, the owners of digital spy.
Why is he known as the hat i never understood that? Same with posts in EE threads with TPTB?
He wears hats alot, his picture in the interviews shows him wearing.
I believe thats where it comes from.
Thanks seems a pretty daft thing to call the man, i'd agree the DS photo needs updating though.
Much like Birkwood for Bryan Kirkwood its just a nickname.
TPTB is 'the powers that be'. It is a generic expression for bosses, the people in charge.
After a few years away, it's massively obvious that the actress who plays Tracey Barlow is incredibly weak, as is William Roach. I know he's been through a lot, but these 'caravan' scenes are just incredibly awkward to watch. The dialogue is so awful and the actors are doing nothing to salvage it.
Everything seems very different, it doesn't have Corrie's tone that I used to love. The forced comedy, the attempts at kitchen sink drama and shoddy acting aren't what I would associate the nations 'number 1' soap.
Me too, no soap is perfect but I am loving it on the whole.
Its the only soap that makes me laugh out loud.
Emmer has turned into EE, all miserable and gritty, Corrie is the only one left of the big three that has lots of humour in it.
Here's a nice picture of him wearing a hat.

There are lots of other forums out there where the general opinion is very different.
it is daft, but it has stuck, so many posters use it, plus he looks a prat wearing it.;-)
it is a myth eastenders is all doom and gloom, emmerdale is probably the most depressing of the big 3 (that isn't a dig before emmerdale fans get on their zimmers and have a hissy, well a tutting fit)
emmerdale has been brilliant of late and there is nothing wrong with a bit of grime, grit and misery. it is known in many circles as 'the village of the damned.'
i suppose it depends on your sense of humour. some scenes in corrie can be extremely funny, however sometimes they can miss the mark with bad scripts and hammy acting. at times they can be embarrassing and cringe worthy. a prime example of this was the scene with gail and michael crying over a weepy film. i love deirdre, anne kirkbride is comedy gold and deliver's her lines brilliantly.
eastenders has some great one liners, the likes of rakhee thakrar, jessie wallace, linda henry, kellie bright, timothy west, danny dyer and ann mitchell all have their moments to shine and have a gift for comedy. timothy west is outstanding.
i dread to think.
