Why do we never see scenes like these anymore?

Or does every scene have to revolve around a character and their big dramatic storyline?

Absolutely.

I caught an episode of Corrie on YouTube yesterday that was from 1999. The whole episode revolved around the day-to-day worries of the characters, and this was at a time when some viewers thought Coronation Street was becoming too sensational!
