ED was poor last night by its standards, not surprising when you had the Bartons (minus Moira and Emma) at the forefront mainly (Ross, James and Pete), Dan and Jimmy. This Dan and Nicola storyline may be running all week too

Corrie has been dire for years. You just sit and wonder if they'll sink to a new low.

I've not watched Corrie properly for a while now. It went downhill last year I thought and never seemed to watch much of it since apart from the occasional catch up with it.
With Peter Barlow returning in October surely things will start to improve hopefully

After seeing him on that panel with the soap producers last year, I think that would be a bad thing.

Did you watch that video? I'm sure he knows a lot about Corrie but he seemed to have an attitude throughout the whole discussion and he talked about how he fired a long term actor because they disagreed with the story he planned for that actor's character. IMHO a good producer would listen and take what the actor's thoughts into consideration.
I didn't see that but I don't see why writing out a character is an issue. Also it wouldn't have been him that made the decision to axe the character. It would have been Kieron Roberts. |

[quote=sorcha_healy27;8385 I'm only rooting for Steve because nick has no right to order him off the street. Nick wasn't even with Leanne when she slept with Steve either.
I loathe Nick [/QUOTE]I loathe Nick too. He was ridiculous last night with his daft empty threats and quizzical frowning. Steve should have chinned him ![]() Then as soon as he'd made everyone suffer enough he turned up at Leanne's with the travel tickets and expected her to be grateful - which she was ![]() Load of f**king idiots. |

I feel sorry for you I really do Trevor!!!!
![]() Thankfully my brain has obviously kindly banished the more lurid details of those two particular bedroom liaisons!! I remember them happening but thankfully not much more than that!! In case you hadn't realised my post was a little tongue in cheek but to be fair these days the most we normally see is a quick fumble on the couch followed by a leading upstairs or else a quick fumble on the couch followed a few scenes latee by clothes being replaced!! ![]()

That's what happens when you put Maria at the forefront she can't act for toffee.
I dreaded when the soap destroyer was announced as producer she doesn't know the shows history, hope am wrong but I can see the ratings dropping with her in charge. |

What I will never get with all the "Corrie is crap" threads (which it is) is that when people are slagging off Sean, Michelle etc nobody EVER calls out Simon Gregson for being a crap actor. All the man ever does is gurn and shout, with his voice getting ever more high pitched. Don't get me started on the "flippins".

In terms of that panel making him seem like a bad choice for Corrie today, I agree with Mark. Daran made that comment in answer to a question about whether they should or do listen to actors and Kate's answer was the complete opposite to Daran's. She said she does believe in working with and listening to actors many of whom know the characters better than she or the storyliners ever will. So I'm not sure how they would get on working so closely together. If he would be able to lower himself to listening to an actors feedback and taking it on board

I don't watch Corrie enough to judge, but if it's as dire as everyone says, you need to look further than Kate Oates. I'm not her greatest fan, and I'm not jumping to her defence, but I think you also need to look at who's in the storylining department.
It's the storyliners who are supposed to drive the show forward. Oates needs to get some proper experienced talent into that office. |

It was Daran. I watched that too. A long term actor didn't like something the show intended to do with his character because he felt it was out of character and Daran said that was curtains for them and they were gone soon after.

Danny Miller said he was told about Aaron's abuse storyline by Kate back in 2014 when he first returned and from what he aid there was quite a bit of consultation between him and the writers. |

Simon Gregson appears to be morphing into Sylvester McCoy.

I think she is selective in who she listens to, if you are one of her favourites you are laughing
