Corrie is slightly limping at the moment, some people believe it's become a bit of a farce, too reliant on comedy and all in all a bit of a panto.


I would axe Cilla, Les, Nathan, the twins, Molly, Sarah Lou and DEV.

I would give characters like Rita and Eileen bigger storylines to show their brilliant talent. also, I would make better use of Jenny Platt aka Violet.

firstly I would comission three slow burning storylines with the above three actors that would, eventually intertwine and involve a lot of people. A nice range there from old to young would appeal to all

comedy would be woven carefully into the DRAMA - yes you read right, drama.


what do you think and what would you do?

Axe all the thin Characters. That should give them enough storylines to last them a while.

I would bring back karen, I haven't liked corrie since she left for some reason. I agree about making better use of violet and eilleen I really like them. I'd cut down on all the comedy they are doing. I'd axe all the new characters I don't like any of them + claire. I haven't enjoyed corrie this year tbh maybe next year will be better it looks like they have some interesting storylines coming up, I hope they do them well.

Corrie has very bad new characters. Just look at all the ones joining EE at Christmas and new year then look at all the ones joining/who have joined Corrie. Ronnie rubbish Nathan Rubbish the twins rubbish. Expalins it all.

I still like Corrie. There are some good storylines coming up.

Spoiler


But Eastenders is a hell of a lot better at the moment than Corrie. But it looks like it will improve soon.

I'd just like to say before I start I'm a Corrie fan. But it has become a bit farcical and a lot of pointless characters need axing:

The twins
Nathan
Diggory Compton
Jason
Maria
Adam

But getting rid of Sunita is a mistake and they should keep Ronnie. I agree about Violet as well. She's great.

Thanks for that. I never liked the idea of the storyline at all. Does she still win a lot of money on the scratchcard though?

I'm sorry but I like Nathan, he just needs a good storyline. Get rid of one of the twins and axe Ronnie.

Are you kidding?

Emmerdale is way the most consistant soap of the three. It doesn't have up/down periods like Corrie/EE but good, well written storylines and drama. Plus it has to churn out another 2 episodes per week more than EE with a much smaller budget.
