WILL be Steve, thats 100% nailed on, even a few months before it's due to happen, such is the level of writing these days!

I didn't realise we had royalty on this thread.

Welcome, your Maj

The Corrie writers of today have no idea what a 'slow-burning plot' is, let alone write one.

It's all 'wam, bam, thank you, mam' All over and done with in a few episodes.

Gives a whole new meaning to a 'week plot'

One of many impending horrors with the birth story is likely to be Steve's attempts at acting the scenes with much gurning and many silly walks to come.

Well that is up to someone to start one. I only watch Corrie, so wouldn't be able to contribute. But as some have said, EE is much better written and does not appear to have SoRs.




Yes it would be nice if Corrie was better written, I get annoyed at the lack of attention to s/ls, writers/producers just don't seem to care anymore.


I have been wondering about this too, it is such a weak s/l.

Would a recovering alcoholic be allowed to drive for a living?

OK, thanks. I do lose track of who's living where.

It's irritating that so many plots are based round unnecessary secrets, the latest being Peter and Toyah's relationship. Characters lie or hide things when it would be much simpler and realistic to tell the truth. How many times do we hear the well-worn phrase 'I can explain'?

she moved in with Kate above the taxi office

sorry just noticed this has been answered but if we were allowed to delete posts i would do

Funny how Roy needs to go through everything with Shona. Normally it is a case of "will you help behind the counter?", and they are employed !

Why didn't Simon just say 'dad saw you go out so he popped in to see how I was'? then him or toyah could just warn him when returning the fags, it would have exposed nothing and left Leanne non of the wiser, instead he takes a hit for smoking, it makes no sense,

Peggy's gorgeous. Why would Robert bin her off for Michelle?

wow that acting by Simon in the back alley, omg its so bad, how could any director be happy with that and willing to put it on telly?

The acting in the flat when he caught Peter & Toyah was bad as well. I could barely understand what he was saying in the alley.

Because she is single and lives outside the street?

Thought exactly the same. Would like to see her back or new to ED maybe anything pleeeeeeze.

I don't really get why Toyah didn't just tell Leanne about her and Peter from the start. I get she might be a bit peed off with him being her ex, but Leanne is happily settled with Nick and has a baby on the way - at least that's what everyone thinks. So surely if she just tells her, she'd come to terms with it soon enough.

The shock will kill the baby apparently (such a poor, overdone excuse on the show).

Of course doesn't stop Leanne ranting and going over the top every episode, so surely this revelation won't hurt?

Now it will take another ridiculous turn when

Just reading and catching up with my favourite thread and felt compelled to respond, picking out Mr Meldrew's post as a nod to his creation but everyone has made perfect and valid points. We all love Corrie, we are sad to see a decline in standards and here is the place to rant and banter. Cheers everyone.

voice breaking has that effect on some teen boys

ok what did i miss

i've seen the episode, just forgotten already

Remind me, does Nick know the truth about Michelle's baby? (I know he knows that it is not his).

Sorry if it's been mentioned before but what has happened to Mary? Unless I've missed something she's not been seen or mentioned since her sudden change of heart about going away with her son.

Yeah. I can't remember if Leanne knows that he knows.

With her absence it would have made sense just to have her disappear to South Africa.

I don't think simon's acting was crap, just his voice made it hard to shout properly
remember something similar in EE some years back when jay was a similar age and he was meant to be shouting in a scene and it sounded really bad

Exactly. I was expecting to see some reaction from the other residents when they found out she'd not gone after all but it's just like she really did go, unless Norris has her tied up in his house
