Anyone else going off corrie?
It just seems to be getting worse.
I don't find the storylines or acting very good now. Esp as Ken Barlow has come back,he just seems a very dull actor. And the whole camping with Deirdre thing, what the hell was that all about, it wasn't even funny. Not just having a go at Barlow, but other storylines too, Kirk proposing to Beth, Gail and her new love. I'm just finding it dull. I'm actually finding Eastenders a bit more interesting , dare I say that, even though Ian beale makes me skin crawl . |

Corrie is crap right now. I record it and skip through scenes with characters I don't like.
Look at the stories: Ken/Deirdre: What was that camping trip all about? A cringey attempt at comedy Peter/Jim: Surely the prison guards would notice how Peter is behaving by now. Leanne/Nick: How can Leanne try to get maintenance from Nick for SImon, when he isn't his? Plus, that was bad acting from Ben Price, as I could tell he was faking even though I knew he was faking - if that makes sense. Gail/Micheal: A couple with no chemistry. A story that is making a mockery of the restorative justice system Kylie/Max: More research into Max's ADHD is needed. The doctor seemed to diagnose, (although not officially), but is should take weeks/months to diagnose and not one quick assessment. Beth/Kirk: A really bad romantic proposal. Andrea/Neil/Steve/Lloyd: Why is Lloyd so desparate for someone he picks up the first woman he sees all of the time? As an actress, Hayley Tamaddon wasn't this bad on Emmerdale. The Neil actor (don't know his name) needs acting lessons ASAP. I don't watch EE, but from reading posts on DS, their problems last year was down to focusing on the younger characters too much. My nan and mum stopped watching for a while but now they love it again. In Corrie now, they focus on young and unpopuar characters i.e. Maddie, Sophie, Alya, Katy, Steph, Luke, Chesney, Faye. Out of them, I don't like Maddie and Alya. What is to come on Corrie? Cilla's return, Peter, Rob, Jim and Katy leaving, Eva, Kylie and Fiz taking maternity leave. |

I haven't enjoyed Corrie since Hayley died. The Tina storyline is a bore.

The library storyline is what ended it for me. I enjoyed Tina's murder storyline (even though I disagreed with it) in the first week but after her actual death it just went downhill and dragged out.

The only thing keeping me watching Corrie is Deirdre. I think she's hilarious and her comic timing is similar to that of Blanche. I'm glad they are turning Deirdre into Blanche. Good move bosses. Apart from that I think its the most dire soap at the moment.

Sophie and Maddie and Gail and Michael are two of Corries worst pairings in recent history. I cannot stand the way that Gail simpers every time she's with Michael.
The comedy of Corrie is dire. The only worthy comical scenes are with Mary and Norris. The Deirdre scenes with her dog were truly cringemaking. I now have to watch it on YouTube just to fastforward 3/4 of it. The new muslim family are a joke. What is the point of having a muslim family in it, if the writers are just going to write them as white characters? The only distinction there is between them and the other cast is that they mentioned ramadam etc a thousand times, and that was shoved down everyones throats as well.... The only people worth watching in my opinión is Carla, Rob and Tracey. Steve is acting like a baffoon with each passing episode. He's meant to be a pub landlord, yet he acts more and more like a naughty schoolboy. Lloyd and Andrea and his daughter are just too boring. And Maddie needs to leave quickly. |

It honestly has not been interesting since Tina was murdered. It has not held my attention properly since the end of the Roy and Hayley storyline, which although dragged out somewhat, was at least touching and well-written with fine acting.

I did for a while, but have gotten back into it following the returns of Ken and Jim. While its not quite 'vintage Corrie' I think its a bit more rounded than Emmerdale atm.

I haven't watched it since Hayley died and don't miss it and can't see myself watching it again to be honest.

I go off it quite a bit especially when ridiculous story lines which come in out of nowhere are brought in or characters seem to change personality to suit the story line. But Ive been a fan for so long and I don't watch any other soaps, so I will always stick with it. Don't mind Deirdre and Ken, Rita, Steve, Eileen, Gail and Sally, in fact most of the oldies are why I do stick with it.

I like Corrie but The Hat is making it really difficult to at the moment. Switched off for a few weeks and didn't feel the need to come back to it until friends on DS let me know what a total hardcase nutter this Neil bloke is.

Still love Corrie and always will, it always gives you a good laugh and has the perfect mix of humour and drama. Much funnier than the shouty Eastenders.

Corrie is and always will be The Queen of Soaps. I made the mistake of tuning into Eastenders the other night. Five minutes was enough: horrible people shouting at each other in horrible voices. DO NOT LIKE
