its not that bad, admittedly theres too much overuse of becky but shes leaving anyway and the stapewick storyline ended up as farce and taking a back seat to the max tug of love storyline but overall its very watchable especially as these not been so much airtime given to the webster witches recently.

Claud n Aud are brilliant and that should be a long term thing. Get Rula back!!

I never used to watch Corries as much as I do now Phil Collinson is producer. It' a lot better than EE at the minute. Looking forward to the new family

What's EE or any other soap got to do with anything?

And Rula is returning. They said she is only taking a break because she is doing theater atm.

I'm comparing them because they're supposed to be the top two soaps and it's the other soap I watch regularly.

You said along with Corrie, EE was the only other soap you watched regulary. I just mearly pointed out you are more active in Emmerdale topics than you are EE.

It would have made more sense for you to compare Corrie with Emmers. Given you watch that more.

Thing is I'm not. Just because I've commented on a few threads over the past day does not been I watch the show all the time. I do however always watch EE and Corrie. So stop telling me what I watch.

Love Claud n Aud

I'm in the apparent minority of people who actually like watching Becky on-screen. I think the actress is great and, well, at a time when Fizz is being arrested for murder (:yawn, her character-driven story makes a nice contrast.

It has got worse IMO. The characters are boring, the plots are awful. Phil needs axing ASAP before he becomes the next Steve Frost.

I'm not enjoying it. Sunita/Karl is weird, the older characters are boring, the younger characters can't act, the cast is bloated, and the storylines are dull e.g. Tommy, Tina. :yawn: Lets hope Tyrones storyline is good.

Corrie has been in decline for years. The SOR thread shows that! It is getting far worse though. The SLs are crap and so are the new characters like Andrea and Maddie. It looks like they are here to stay though as this producer seems to love them. Corrie have been desperate to find Lloyd a partner and Andrea looks like she's it.

And Maddie? Goodness knows where they are going with her. Maybe she'll have a character transplant like Sophie who doesn't screech any more and Michelle who has suddenly become 'nice'. I'm wating for the return of Fiz to see if she's changed from being an acid-tongued, scowly-faced harpie

What even happened to Claudia? I thought she was a great character.

Wow… I am shocked by this. I started this forum in November last year, and thought pretty much everyone agreed CS was in decline. Looks like everyone on Digital Spy has always thought that, though .

What! 2011 was brilliant!
I loved that year of Corrie and straight into 2012.
So its been in decline since mid 2013, imo

I don't pay much attention to ratings, but from looking at it Corrie is doing no more worse than the other soaps.
