Why is Corrie always exempt from any criticism in papers media etc
Ok I will admit I don't watch it and haven't done for years.
However is it that good that it is exempt from criticism of any kind, surely not. Or is it because it has been on for so long its exempt from any.
Even when Eastenders was winning all the awards and was much better than now, we used to get the old chestnut awards were unfair because it had an older audience and they didnt know how to use the internet to text to vote.
I assume they know how to do this now although I know the recent BSA's were mainly panel voted though

EE is at the other end, it's cast are brilliant but it's stories are dire

Mystery ex Corrie Star
... Hardly.
Absolute nail on the head there Cherry.
Spot on mate.
Corrie has had its lulls but it plays to its strength with its humour and EE does not do that.
Kim is supposed to be funny but to me she is about as funny as toothache...
Coronation Street is amusing
Eastenders is depressing.
Coronation Street actors mostly excellent.
Eastenders actors loud and rubbish.
Not at all, Poppy, Fatboy, Kim are meant to provide the comedy, tho I agree that its not everyone tastes then we have the likes of Abby, Jay, Alfie, Dot, Patrick, Alice that are generally nice people and heart warming as the saying goes.
This! Eastenders has the best actors in soap its just that the storyliners are currently clueless as to what to do with most of them.
Corrie does comedy so much better and comedy is probarly one of the hardest thing to get right as an actor or writer.
Eastenders has had enough prestige and a near 30 year history to also be the "media's darling"....but unlike Corrie which has mostly kept it's core and soul....EE has mutated from a brilliant show (1985-88 & 1990-2002) to a shouty, preachy, "right-on", ishooo led pantomime.
I completely disagree with EE having the best actors and even more so now with what's left. Corrie does get criticized from time to time, but always pulls something out of the bag and employs producers who know the show inside and out.
Good point!
Course it's gritty - if you're using rhyming slang, that is ....;)
On its last legs? The NOTW unwittingly staring into its own abyss... Oh, what irony.
The Street has really picked up its game in the past year.
