CS: Bellydancing!!!
Ok it may seem an odd thing to put forward as a Corrie improvement but I'm finding these scenes really refreshing!!
Aside from the obvious disappointmrnt of not actually getting to watch Kate, Maria & Eva actually 'strutting their stuff' it is good to see a group of the younger characters actually out as a group enjoying themselves, having a laugh as young people do!!For a lot of years now the show's characters have been getting more & more insular, all involved in just their own little bubbles with the same few people & it has made many of the characters appear boring!! By putting Kate & Maria together as friends it has taken two drifting characters & immedieately given them a purpose, however small!! Add the excellent Eva to the mix, along with Mary for a bit of comedic value & you start a balll rolling!! Take into account the partners, Luke, Aidan & Caz and, hey presto you have the ingredients for that rare Corrie beast of recent years A GROUP OF FRIENDS, something most of us take for granted but Corrie seem to have forgotten existed!! I know it's only the minutest of starts but it is a start & something I hope they build on!! Friendships are so important to real life and should be treated as such in soaps too!! |

Unfortunately the presence of Mary makes all of these scenes instantly unwatchable.

Maybe Corrie aren't quite as stupid as people like to think - they recognise that a mix of characters usually works far better and adds much needed depth to any scene.

And yet it was literally only the presence of Mary that persuaded me to keep watching, and I quite enjoyed it.

'Cynical' is my default setting with Corrie these days but I found these scenes very refreshing, even if they weren't all that funny or interesting.
What I enjoyed was that it brought different characters together, something that Corrie barely does these days. Mixing characters of different ages and backgrounds was something Corrie always used to do so well, so this was really nice to see. If anything, I'd like to see another random character added to the mix rather than Caz. Maybe someone like Audrey or Jenny Bradley ![]() I'd really like to see more of this grouping and their antics at bellydancing. |

It was nice to see a group of friends going out together to have innocent fun, no drunken behaviour; and I was pleased they didn't invite Sophie. Is Daz (I think that is her name) pretending to have a bad leg, or is it real? It seems to have been going on a long time. .

Great thread. I was thinking exactly the same when I was watching last night's episode.

Is it beyond their abilities to actually show them belly-dancing?
We keep hearing how natural Kate is at it but we don't see any proof

With the exception of Mary, a chance to see the other characters and the instructor in belly-dancing costumes would be phwoar!
