YES! YES! YES!
I am so ****ing ecstatic right now. ![]() Bye bye Kim, don't let the door hit you on the way out - finally let a professional take over the reigns and sort Corrie out once and for all.

I'm a bit worried still. They're bringing in a doctor who producer. While Corrie has been rubbish of late, I'm not sure having the Rovers invaded by daleks, and Gail Platt revealed as an alien in disguise is the right direction for the show.
Saying that, it can't get much worse than it is now |

Is it really worthy of a breaking news banner?
The new guy is fab though. He has done great things on Doctor Who. I am really excited I think he's going to bring some of the 2004 feel of the show back. |

While he was an actor, the role of Alexander in the 1999 Channel 4 drama Queer as Folk was written especially for him by his friend Russell T Davies. However, after Antony Cotton auditioned for the production team, Davies and his fellow producers felt they had no choice but to offer the role to him.

This is potentially good news. Kim Crowther's been in the job long enough to make an impression on the show and, overall, all she's managed to do is make things worse than they were before.
Phil Collinson may or may not prove to be the right person to improve things on the show but we'll have to wait and see just what impact he does make. Obviously the potential is there for him to improve things but, just as equally, he could well leave things in a similar sort of state or actually make things worse than they are now. |

The producer who did the Karen / Steve / Tracey business was good.

Brilliant news for Coronation Street.
Under Kym Crowther reign it had been completely dire. The second half of 2010 could actually be watchable. |

I have it on pretty good authority that Crowther was not originally planning to leave until after the 50th anniversary ... so it would appear that someone above her has reviewed her performance and altered her plans.
But do not expect her to disappear: her long-term ally Kieran Roberts may well find work for her either on another ITV show or at ITV HQ ...

NOOOO.
Corrie has been so good under her. Urg. She kept all the characters in fair screen time. I hope it doesn't become center to 3 characters a week and Janice, Lloyd, Dev, Claire, Ashley, Emily, Betty and the likes never get used like before. Crowther made use of everyone! |
