Hopefully they will. The flavor of the day gets tiresome and usually dished up as if has reached epic proportions. They should be a little more in tune what the real trials of life are if they want to be realistic. They never show the frustration when you order a hamburger at the drive thru and with no onions or ketchup only to find when you get home it's top heavy with both. This is the stuff that drives you nuts and you couldn't care less about some horseshit storyline.
Such nice girls
Can't do the link, but this spoiler was on the sidebar when I clicked the link in the original post.
Finally the writers get it. We don't need gripping drama based on a "true story". We are starved for scandal, it's what we thrive on. It's why we drag ourselves out of bed in the morning rubbing our hands together to see who's porking who they shouldn't. Add in a few pints and some Hotpot and there you have the recipe for a good show.
Do we really need the show to put a quasi documentary in on a frequent basis under the guise of entertainment. A sure sign of writers fatigue or lack of ability to write creatively. The track record of their attempts to do storylines lifted from the newspapers that start and finish in a day or two and forgotten about is notoriously bad and not very entertaining.
Yes she was in 2001 in the storyline with Gary Adams.
I thought I could remember something like that. Will be interesting to see how she reacts to Bethany repeating her mistakes.
Yes and No, some stories taken from real life experience and used as the basis of a storyline can be good, when done right, Corrie had a quite a lot of hiccups this past few years, so maybe a meaty story could be good, I don't think its suppose to be entertaining but gritty, I know some of the recent stuff has been a bit dodgy but I think the show is starting to get its buzz back.
Yes she had met a internet stranger, it was the gay hairdresser guy from Brookside who played the predator.
In the aftermath (of the Gary Adams storyline) she blamed herself, so she'll probably blame herself again.

That's right, it's all coming back to me now. Wow she really went through a lot as a teen. I'm surprised she didn't breakdown back then nevermind last year.
Thank you for that.
Before her 2015 return Sarah went through.
Her father (Brian) died in 1989.
Nearly died when she had her appendix removed in 1994.
Her nan (Ivy) died in 1995.
Teenage pregnancy in 2000.
Bethany was kidnapped in 2000 by Alison.
Gary Adams storyline in 2001.
Nearly died and was in a coma after a car crash in 2002.
Her stepfather Richard was a serial killer
Was nearly killed by Richard when he tried to drown the family in a canal in 2003.
Bethany was electrocuted in Todd and Sarah's flat in 2003.
Bethany was kidnapped (again) this time by her nan Brenda Fearns in 2004.
Found out her boyfriend Todd had been cheating on her in 2004.
Todd and Sarah's son Billy died in 2004.
David sent her and her family cards from Richard Hillman in 2006.
Jason jilted her at her first wedding in 2006.
David tried killing himself on Jason and Sarah's second wedding in 2007.
David set fire to her wedding dress in 2007 on Bonfire Night.
Bethany nearly died when she took an ecstasy pill that David left in one of her toys in 2007.
I remember that sl, Quite brave story really for corrie
Have you by any chance got the episodes where she goes round and meets him??
This is a mere inconvenience compared to the day to day suffering the love of my life poor Izzie has to put up with. She lives in constant pain, do you hear her complaining? not one word. Suffer in silence is her method of coping. Always a happy face and encouraging words. Bethany should take a leaf from her book and think herself lucky.
As someone who deals with an auto immune disease as a single mother, your response made me smile. Ironic that the people with the shit every living day manage the most.
From a soap point of view though, no story line in and that and also if they give her a hard storyline they are picking on the disabled.
Bethany is following in Sarah's footsteps in terms of drama.
It could be a good story.
EastEnders did a similar story with Whitney a few years back.
More "if you have been affected" at the end along with a helpline. Whoopee.
It will be the plot device for some drama on the street, probably related to someone's love life. Look how Corrie handled the laughable slavery storyline earlier in the year.
