...would you do anything different?

Just asking because everybody says it's perfect right now.

well, i might change the opening titles and music more modern, kind of a 90's neighbours feel with residents having barbiqes, playing cricket etc..

the other thing i would do is not have couples get together over a bottle of wine. its been done to death.

I would introduce a disabled charactor, and maybe axe 1 or 2 of the pointless white straight charactors that seem to do the same thing over and over.

I would also experament with different storylines, like sleepwalking, bed wetting, horse riding etc that hasn't been done before

we should have Paul Marquess take over Corrie, we all know the type of changes he will make, judging by those he made on the Bill.............Coronation Street will become Pink Street or Land of the Village People as Gail Platt So eloquently put it.

And we'd have Gabriel Kent as the Rovers landlord and running Underworld

you would. i would stick to the way corrie is written, just branch it out a bit. At the moment its just silly little stories, and endless affairs. I wouldn't change the writing, just the stories and opening titles.

the stress getting to sally would cause her to sleepwalk up the street. She would ALMOST get run over by a baldwin.

Gail could take up tapistry and have regular classes, where the residents go to hers for cups of tea, gossip and do tapistry.

Martain would witness someone mug tyrone, then that same person comes into the hospital a week later after a car crash, and martain would have to tell him he'll never walk again. then the boy could become a regular charactor. It could be good to deal with and with corries writing it could be pulled off with mix of sadness and comedy.

Tyrone and Maria, after the mugging incident, would get together after tyrone calls out marias name when he comes round. then they could win a trip to italy through a competition noris and rita are running.

you see - same writing, just branching out.

I'd axe .....
· EITHER Sunday's episode or Monday's second episode
· Warrn Baldwin, the factory twins
I'd plot .....
· Jack and Vera's departure, because let's face it, it's not far off
· Long-term storyline arcs
· Stories that tie in lots of cast members
· Twists and turns!!
I'd hire .....
· Strong actreses like Zoe Lucker, Sarah Manners and so on to make strong women for the show
· Some middle-aged men to boost the soap

Just my ideas!!!
