Granted I don't actually watch Corrie but obviously read peoples views and so many people run the soap down. Yet there still the number 1 soap if u belive in ratings they get the most ratings. They win all the awards currently so they must be doing something right,

You have to bare in mind that two of the viewers are technically Stuart Blackburn and his hat, so really you should take one off the ratings which might drastically alter the results.

Some of those 'haters' are too loyal to switch off.

It's absolutely terrible at the moment, that's why everyone is criticising it.

It's where Eastenders was not so long ago - a total farce in drastic need of a revamp.

i don't "hate" it - i just don't care enough for it to have that much emotion.

I just find it a bit old fashioned and boring...

And like EE, they wont do anything until the ratings go really down.

I think that it has its odd occasion where it's amazing, but then the quality drops - like now!

Tbh if you don't watch it then how can you criticise others views?

I'd love to know the breakdown of age groups who watch all the soaps. I'd assume that Corrie has a big pensioner audience?

I dont think its actual hate. More frustration or maybe Eastenders fans having a bit of fun.

I found a soap magazine the other day giving summer plots for EE last year, & they were so bleak!

Trouble is over the past few years it's been morphing into a different show. Its all very well having to "move with the times" blah blah blah, but that doesn't mean you have to start treating viewers like morons, dishing up bad writing and plots, with dreadful characters played by awful actors. There are still glimmers of "Corrie" in there, but the rest of it has become trashy sensationalist poorly devised and executed crap.

Anything that is popular is going to receive a lot of heat by a loud vocal minority and I say this as a person who rarely watches Coronation Street.

Probably quite rude of me but then you don't really know why people might criticise surely?

It's a completely different show. What a difference a year makes.

True! But the OP made a good point about the ratings. It always seems to come out on top in the overnight figures.

Surely it must be doing something right.

But Aaron is simply stating fact, that this is a soap forum and there will therefore be people who criticise it. He wasn't being specific as to why he didn't like it.

Hangings in this country always got a good turnout just cos it was something to do. Doesn't mean to say the hanging was necessarily entertaining.

I don't think it's hate, it's annoyance that it's been left to get into this state by a man that brought Emmerdale to breaking point.

I don't find anything that exciting or catching my attention atm, the characters are rather dull or hateful/vile and not in a good way some of the female character's behaviour and how they are written particularly irritate me more then any female soap characters ever.

The ruination of Tina's character was the last straw I'm afraid and this murder s/l is just lack luster, does many people care that Peter the Cheater and Carla the hypocrite have yet again been given repetitive/recycle s/l for the 100th time.

Peter's been married twice in seven years neither marriage has lasted longer then two years, both woman was cheat on by people they considered friends and he got both woman pregnant and they both lost the babies.

As for rating last I checked they was down from last years so not really that good.

Well it seemed Aaron got my point.
