DS has begun asking for your questions for our good old Corrie boss, Stuart Blackburn.

What would your question to him be then?

What kind of questions will you be subitting to Digital Spy for them to put to Stuart Blackburn?

I really want to throw some questions about the poor quality of the show this year, but I imagine DS will either not include them in the interview or if they do SB will skim over them suggesting its been a fantastic year. In truth the storylines and writing have been awful.

I've asked:

'Are there any plans for disasters such as fires in the coming months'

I've been cheeky and asked three questions:

"Why was Dennis who is an original character axed?"

"When are you leaving Corrie?"

"Why have you not listened to any fans?"

He probably isn't aware he is doing any harm. Blackburn and ITV are completely oblivious to everything atm.

I've sent my question:

'Fans are sick of your sensationalist reign as the worst producer in Coronation Street's history. When are you going to throw in the towel?'

I'm not. The only questions he will actually answer, (and the answers will all be 'yes, certainly'), are :

'Any chance of seeing more Maddeh/Sawphie on our screens please'?
'Please can we have more terminally boring Lloyd on screen please'?
'Please can you bring back more and more past characters, like Jim McD, ChavCilla etc, who died natural deaths long ago, but we need to keep up with EE'?
'Can we see even less of the best characters on the show, (Norris, Mary, Deirdre and Sally), than we do already?'

When these producers are being paid quite a good salary and yet they create poor storylines under their reign, they need to answer for what they have done to that soap, instead of these interview being soft and taking out all the serious questions.

Why do you think that accidentally bumping into someone more than once is the same as chemistry?

All of the above, but I would just ask him WHY?

As in why is he still employed when all he does is run soaps/programmes into the ground. It was only his leaving that saved Emmerdale from slowly disappearing.

I though ITV had to answer to their advertisers, but it seems Mr Big Boss Hat is a law unto himself.

Kill off Sean. Michelle, Tracy Andrea, and I just might think he is an ok producer!
But fat chance of that.

Not really a question but... I remember having to go to bed when the theme tune at the end of Corrie came on, I was about 7, I'm 58 now and have been watching all my life, well actually I lie, about two months ago I could take no more, I'm sure I'm not the only one, I suppose my question then is how has this been allowed to happen to this all time favourite show.

Dear Mr. Blackburn.
1) In the light of all the court cases being held at present to prosecute people for kiddie sex, do you think it is appropriate to use a 12 yr. old girl having sex as entertainment on Coronation Street.?
2) Why did you bring Dennis Tanner back, just to give him such a poor storyline?
3) Any chance that you will axe Sophie and Muddie in the near future?
Thankyou in anticipation of your answers. Janet.

It was Phil Collinson who brought back Dennis.

I asked about Dennis as well, pointing out that there was a long gap to draw story from but that they never bothered. I really hope they ask more than just 'why axe Dennis?' because I think he'll give a really generic answer and wriggle out of it if it's too broad.

A great decision, but Phil too was guilty of failing the character and having no real motive other than to give Rita the Tanner name.

1. Why are you ruining the show?
2. Why haven't you sacked the old lush?
