I dread to think how bad this year's Christmas edition will be - even worse than the ridiculous one last year?
Did I dream this ? |

Despite KO coming on board Corrie has not yet moved forward. Storylines full of holes and generally absolute pants storylines
Do the writers ever leave ivory towers and come to the real world of Manchester. Nightclubs full at 8pm, elderly female residents of Corrie standing at bar drinking alone, Evryman and his dog going to Roys for a cup of tea, Roys full of customers very late afternoon/ early evening folks working when it suits them The idea of a big night out being the Bistro No cars ever parked in the street People going out for a drink to Rovers at 6pm Factory workers always going to Roys/ Rovers/ Bistro always with a different outfit How many more SOR can you think of |

Remember when they won a servicing contract and all of the cars were in at once? Then never seen again!

All the Streetcars cabs are very very old cars. Most of the taxi round our way are 60 plates onwards, I think Streetcars have a couple of cars from the year 2000, eg W registration

Not a SOR, but tonight's Jean Alexander tribute showed just how bad Corrie is now compared to the 70s and 80s. John Stevenson was one of the interviewees, what the current producers would give for a writer as talented as him.

I suspect that in different threads than this very realistic and perceptive one, that many people paint a picture of everything being wonderful and rosy in Corrie. ![]() Quote:
Yep, it's nonsense. Four mechanics and they all seem to work on just the one car at a time. I thought they looked after Streetcars cabs but you never see any taxis there being seen to (or waiting to be seen to). You never even see Kev's tow-truck unless it's part of the story, so where does he keep it when it's not out on a rescue?

Four mechanics all working in that one part of the garage. Does anyone ever work in the new garage across the road. The part that was masterminded by the Street's latest business wizkid, Sophie Webster?

How could it be any worse than that nauseating crap with everything imaginable that is cheesy and naff thrown at it? Nothing could ever beat last year.

That tribute to Jean Alexander last night was really candid. Corrie back in the 70s and 80s was a totally different soap with proper actors and stories to tell, now it's an amateurish production. ![]() Quote:

Gary mentioned when Sarah rocked up something like 'we've got loads of time the gig doesn't start until nine.' Since when do concerts but start until June? Wasn't there a support act? And Sarah was all 'oh can we go another night' because bands do just do a few nights at a venue out of London don't they? I'm guessing this was all planned in advance with the hotel rooms and all?

Yeah, it's not like a show where there's a run of a few weeks. And anyway, their tickets couldn't be used for another night.
would have made more sense her setting him up to meet her mam, then turning up instead all tarted up and making a pass at him |

I think it was a motorbike, but you're right, it did whizz past ridiculously fast and noisily - or at least it's sound effect did!!

Lack of cars outside the garage waiting to be fixed/serviced/collected Far more people in each house and flat than the bedrooms allow No-one working in Manchester or anywhere further than 100 yards from home Characters getting trained to do summat in about a fortnight or not at all but are experts. Eg. Garage mechanics and big powerful business persons Characters turning upon the street and instantly getting a place to live and a job Speedy recoveries. Sinead/Ken/Anna Disappearing vehicles - ice cream van/toy sports car/camper van Characters just walking into someone else's house Relationships when there's been hardly any interaction and no chemistry Michelle Connor being the best thing ever to happen to Steve and the McDonald family Everyone being so lucky to have Michelle Connor And Liz not inviting the nearest available bloke through her bar flap for over a year! ![]() ![]() ![]()
