Coronation Street needs to fire Kate Oates so she can come back to Emmerdale. Iain MacLeod is ruining the show. He is turning it into Neighbours with all the ridiculous comedy stuff.

All they need to do is fire Iain MacLeod and install someone new who isn't in the usual soap merry go round of producers, new blood is necessary

Haha, sorry Mark, I'm happy enough with Kate Oates where she is!!

Ok she hasn't revolutionised Corrie overnight, did anyone seriously expect she would, but something has got me looking forward to the next episode all the time now, something I haven't been able to say often in the last 5 years or so & I can only put that down to her influence!!

No!! she is fine where she is, Corrie is great at the moment, Emmer is on it's knees, but they need to look elsewhere for a new replacement.

Ok what about the DTC guy from EastEnders, would he be a good fit for Emmerdale?

Agreed! ITV is sooooo incestuous - and with all their shows, not just soaps. They just play it safe every time with the same old tired show presenters, same old soap producers, same actors going from one soap to another and one drama to another. It's pathetic when there must be so many good presenters, producers, actors etc who never ever get that 'lucky break'.

What it needs someone new, both as fresh air and so the poster on DS won't have preconceived prejudices about him/her, its easier if everyone hasn't made up their minds about whats going to happen before it starts. Look at the New big man at Eastenders, he's from radio and the Archers so no one has a clue what he's planning.

Technically thats a problem for the entire British TV industry, although ITV does seem the worst.

Its the same here in the US with our soaps one producer or writers will get fired from one show for destroying it then they will get hired by another soap..sometimes one on the same network.

You do realise SOC worked at EE before he went to produce the Archers

I think that is a great idea. The US soaps had some success bringing in outsiders in the past. One Life to Live brought in author Micheal Malone as head writer in the 90's and he was a huge success steering the show away from the crazy stories of the 80's and bring the show back to the it's socially conscience roots that Agnes Nixon envisioned.

Did he?. He's been away doing something else so maybe doesn't count since every one seemed to love him doing the Archers

Naturally I don't spend all my time wondering who is working in the background of all the soaps heh

What spite do you have against Emmerdale? She left it in tatters and Iain MacLeod is till trying to clear up her horrendous mess.

For the most part I loved what she did with Emmerdale, minus the Debbie/Ross stuff and Zack/Joanie. And even when I didn't like a story it was always entertaining, not full of sub par comedy stuff and she always had the right mix of characters featured.

You've never seen the real Emmerdale then? She was about as far as you can get from that. I have always watched avidly. With KO stuff it was just on in the background. She hadn't a clue. Most obvious in the way she totally changed, among others, Robert (who we'd watched since birth) and Zac.

I think Kate Oates is a great soap producer, yes she made couple mistakes but generally her tenure is regarded as a success. I don't see how she changed Robert except for his sexuality he is pretty much the same character.

She should of been fired from Coro a long time ago! There was even a article that said she was gonna save the show!

Don't make me laugh FFS, she's awful!

It's got a bit better, but the other month was the worst I've ever seen it!

The other Coro boss from last yr was wayyy better than her, yet ppl say Coro was shit in 2015!

LOL you missed the point of my post, I think Kate Oates has done a great job with Corrie, I want her back on Emmerdale because Iain MacLeod is destroying the show.

And if you hate want Kate Oates gone because of Kylie's death you are directing your anger at the wrong person. That decision was most likely made by Blackburn months before Kate Oates even started at Corrie.

I'm giving it a few more months before I decide on the new producer. The James storyline could be good and apparently Rebecca is set to break up Robron so it doesn't sound too bad.

Well I'm still gonna watch in hopes that it will get better but I've seen enough to make my judgement. Although I'm not a Robron fan I think Rebecca breaking them up is a huge mistake.

LOL, that isn't nice

I think though that with the state the show is in now the last thing they need to do is anger their biggest fan base. I could see Robert playing Rebecca to get the goods on Chrissie but if its for real it will be another disaster.

Oh no, don't anger some teenagers on social media who only watch the episodes that Robert and Aaron are in. It will soon pass, they arent as popular as people think, Ross and Debbie (one of the worst pairings ever) beat them to an award.

Did you listen tot he podcast I posted from the American soap site I follow? One of the guys on the podcast was gushing about Robron and how much he loved them and I think that guy is in his 40's.
