    the Queen Vic wasn't demolished :rolleyes:

    If my expeience is anything to go by the police investigation and the insurance loss adjusters would have closed the place for longer than it would have taken to rebuild the Houses of Parliament:D

    It has been really boring this week IMO- the best characters in it are carla, peter, Leanne along with ken and deirdre but the focus has been on Tracey, becky and boring sunita, dev and bloody kylie

    However I read today in soaplife that
    frank takes revenge on maria
    so that sounds good

    There are so many poor storylines on both at the min - the whole Graham/Xin (sorry if spelt wrong( thing is so unbelievable and whilst she is very pretty, she is a dreadful actress and the script is very poor.

    EE too is not so good.

    Must both be building up to exciting Easter plots (hopefully!) .....

    Whole Xin thing felt shoehorned when she first appeared, didn't feel like the character was developing into a fully rounded character, just something to drive a storyline.

    Not sure if it's the actors, storyline or direction.
    Ches has done good work before, but this Katy business feels flat too.
    The reaction from Fizz or John if/when he returns is probably going to be the making of the storyline.

    The storyline with Graham and Xin is really bad. It is so badly acted and written it brings down the whole show. I hope that they bring it to swift conclusion.

    You never know it could get better Cheryl was very flat and like a vacuum for ages until they gave her something to do with the Chris thieving business.

    That's gone off the boil too, now I've been reminded of it.

    I don't think that it's terrible, but it's going through a bit of a lull.

    It's not dramatic, but it's still quite funny (apart from Xin)

    The Street has been rebuild pretty fast. In reality it would still be unliveable.

    I thought that too but then I realised it's been a few months

    If only the writers would forget about that SL and try and develop them into a couple first it would be a help.

    Totally agree. I would have much rather if she had an ulterior motive like trying to avoid working/college or wanting a fast track to a counsel house. A bit of a schemer just like her dad...

    There was a time Corrie had the right to be miffed that EE was sweeping the boards - not anymore. Corrie really is dull at the moment. Not just dull, but characterisation you have absolutely no empathy for (Sophie, Sally, Kevin - I loved these characters but they've become tiresome and no matter what trauma is thrown at them, I've barely cared since the tram hit), or the dull or ridiculous plot (Tina and Graeme destroyed each other long ago, but throw in Xin and we have a nightmare).

    I cannot wait for Todd's return. 27 minutes of Todd each night please. Hurrah.

    I'm glad they've re-built the street in record time. Imagine how dull it would be to have a whole year of 'insurance claim storylines' and 're-building storylines'. So for once I'm more than happy at the super-fast timescale.

    I agree that it's going through a lull at present but it was only a couple of weeks ago that we had the Peter/Leanne wedding debacle which was fabulous....and if John Stape is back next week then that's good enough for me. I love the JS story :D

    I am not liking the current Xin storyline, as I hate storylines where characters are just brought in to give others something to do. If you can't find Tina a storyline, axe her?

    I am really enjoying Brooke Vincent at the moment, actually.

    t's pretty poor at the moment, the Xin SL is actually bad. I have no interest in Sophie ATM, or Dev & Sunita, Becky or Steve ( although Steve is normally one of my favourite characters)

    For me, the only things worth watching are the salon & the Kabin. The salon gives us a great pairing of Aud & Claud and also ( never thought I would say it), David - who seems to get some good lines ATM. The Kabin gives us Rita & Norris, who are a good duo as well. But it isn't the storylines in the salon & Kabin that are interesting, it is the pairings & their banter.

    I agree with you have stopped watching it last week when they brought Kylie back into it, becky was bad enough (used to love her but so sick of her now) and now we have to put up with kylie the david/kylie storyline and tina/graham is awful as well she used to work with her at the pound shop we've never seen or heard of her but shes happy to let an ex co worker borrow her b/f to marry him and move into their flat and help pay her rent? yeah right :rolleyes: wont be watching anymore
