Neil on the Rovers roof. Is it supposed to be funny? Liz sounding like a foghorn. Oh an attempt at drama here. Andrea hanging from the gutter. Pathetic episode. Stuart Blackburn has to go.

He really does.

How long has he been at the helm - nearly two years? Maybe he'll leave soon anyway.

Without a shadow of a doubt. The writers seem clueless as to what tone they're aiming for with their recent pathetic attempts at storytelling. Was that rooftop scene really meant to be dramatic?

That was a really bad episode. The roof thing was completely unconvincing.

It is truly shocking how bad Corrie has become... majority of characters are terrible and storylines are laughable now...

The only exciting bit was when it looked like Andrea might be killed off.

He took over in May 2013, I think. Phil Collinson before him ran the show from July 2010 so Stuart Blackburn could have some time to go yet.

I'm never sure anymore when something is meant to be serious or when it's meant to be funny...

Please Corrie, get rid of SB.

Stuart Blackburn took office for the handover period in January 2013, with his first credited episode being 8 April 2013.

Thanks - in terms of when his first episode aired on screen I was close.

I swear the Rovers fire was rushed to air early so Collinson could oversee it - he seems to have been pushed considering he was originally told he'd oversee the move to Media City.

Didn't watch it guessing I probably shouldn't and my wish didn't come true but I'm still hoping Neil comes locks Andrea and Lloyd in a room. Whilst Fiz is trying to comfort Neil and then starts to cry because she believes it is all her fault. So she goes into the room. Sean and Tyrone go looking for Fiz and shove they are in the room and then Yasmeen tries to sell Neil a book to help his broken heart so Neil throws the book in there so Yasmeen tries to save the book and she gets locked in there and then the rest of the Nazeers come looking for her and they get locked in there. Then Sawfeh and Maddeh go tell Neil about their babysitting business when he tells them their is a dog needing to be rescued and then they stay in there. And suddenly Neil has a little accident with a bomb and the room explodes and then they are never heard of again and then Yasmeens book comes and squishes Neil a bit like Maddie and the car door in hollyoaks.

Are we meant to believe no one was going to help Tim down?

Absolute crap.

Horrible Eileen will be in there too. Don't know why but she will.

It was awful. It's really bad when the glimours of hope in an episode are conversations between Kevin and Tyrone and Maddeh and Carla.

Liz refusing the ladder was my only problem. It was beyond stupid.

would have taken a minute to take the ladder to Tim, get him down and then put the ladder back.. I do not see the point storywise to keep Tim up there !!!!

You know a programme has gone to hell when you start feeling sorry for the actors as you're watching.

It's very worrying. Here's hoping that the ratings will tumble further so that Granada might finally take action.

It's a trial to get the end tonight. I'm having to do other stuff at the same time to save my sanity...

It was utter bilge from start to finish. This storyline with Neil and Andrea; the loft conversion saga; Gail and Les Dennis slithering all over each other - there's just nothing in Corrie look forward to. When I compare it the brilliant week of Emmerdale I've just watched I despair.
