Lorraine Newman is now working for Corrie in the script department. She goes from EastEnders to Corrie, and will probably do the same thing to Corrie that she did to EastEnders, with her Love and Warmth.

What did she do?
If true it looks like corrie may Atchually become the worst soap! Nothing against her personally but she was bad in EE. Her and the Hat are just a toxic mix!

Her time on EastEnders was an absolute joke.
Did you have to mention that woman's name
She'd probably fit right in. Tyrone and Fiz, Maria and Luke and Callum and Sarah are right up her street..

I'm sick to death of this love and warmth crap. Lorraine Newman may have said it, but there wasn't and isn't any love and warmth in EastEnders.
She couldn't make it any worse.
Actually I think she would be quite good for Corrie as her strength lay in character-based stuff, something Corrie always excelled at and is now lacking, what she's not good at is the big stories but then Corrie had three years of stunts and sensationalism under Collinson while there's been a heap of more down to earth but poorly executed big stories under SB, so I'd quite like to see things go back to basics for a while.
A user on YouTube has uploaded several years worth of classic episodes and sometimes months and months would go by without a big event happening. This is something Corrie could get away with.

Oh lord. Corrie is already at a low anyway. The problem with Newman was she had promise, but the results were poor.

And that's where I finished reading. Anyone can edit Wikipedia.

Well if she has been at Corrie as script producer since 2014 it explains alot.
If she ever became Corrie EP, I wonder if any of her former EE characters would migrate to the Cobbles, similar to how a few of Kirkwood's creations ended up on Hollyoaks.

Not sure about being forced out officially, but it's not unheard of that an EP will quit because of mounting pressure (backstage issues, poor ratings). Louise Berridge who was EE exec between 2002 and 04 stood down after a really really rough patch, although history tells us (there's 1 or 2 very good pieces online where she tells it all, and is quite humble) that it wasn't her fault entirely nor was she completely out of her depth like Kirkwood and Newman. Things were going great for her at first and aside from a few blips (Ferreiras, fairground disaster), most of her troubles were brought on by major character absences forcing script amendments. Parts of the press were brutal to EE around late 2003/04.

Yes but they also have to provide sources. If they don't, their edits get removed. You make it sound like it's not moderated.

That's a really interesting post, thanks. Could you point me to the online pieces where she talks about her experience?

Of course! There is an interview she did with Walford Web in 2010 (about 5 or 6 years after she left). Also there's thoughts on her website:

She went into fiction writing and uses the name A.L. Berridge.
Thanks for those links
It's rather nice she made a friend out of Wendy Richard. It also gives me an understanding of what really happened during her time. I still think Dirty den's return was a load of crap though. But i do feel sorry for the woman a hell of a lot.

What both posts fail to mention was that she was being stalked during that time too.
