Corrie is dying.
It is an elderly, withered and expiring force that has long ago lost it's vitality and joie de vivre, devoid of energy and rapidly loosing the will to even attempt to carry on with life.
I can't remember the last time it either made me lol now or brought me to tears.
So what's the point of suffering it anymore?
Unless they rediscover the importance of having good, strong characters who touch people's hearts and are strong enough to be themselves and have at least a few admirable human traits to make us care enough about them ( and not all behave as though they just stepped out from a PC indoctrination camp ), Coronation Street will die. It's breathing is already laboured.
Time for it to bow out with some dignity, or what faint illusion of dignity it has left now.
Or they could try to rejuvenate it by doing the complete opposite of everything they do right now. Would that be so wrong?
