Thank You Laurel. Couldn't have put it better myself.

On another note, seperate from your post, I've also noticed from some of the immature posts on this thread that people are just using this as an excuse to express their hatred for the show. It's pathetic really.

Exactly...and they call us immature.

Oh well, we can stick together right?

It's the same people time and time again (fireworks/bastardgate/white-trash).
One starts and then they all join in.

Back on Topic:
No it's not a publicity stunt, just a crappy story by The Sun to sell a few more papers.

Too right. I hate to generalise though, there are EastEnders fans on here who I respect, but many others who I do not.

That is exactly what it is! And is a very sick thing for the sun to do

Could we please ensure that this thread is kept on topic.

Thanks,

Kris

I think it's best if this was closed as Corrie-haters love to stir things up for the sake of it

While that evil woman was alive and in prison The Sun loved nothing more than whipping the nation into a frenzy with regular pieces of Hindley 'news'.All they are doing now is pathetically hanging on to the memory (and suffering of all concerned) of those tragic events 40 years ago.It is the Sun who are shamelessly trying to create a story here(while selling more comics).I dont blame Granada at all.

Well this has been a great discussion. I'm please to see most of us agree it is a publicity stunt.

How do you make that out? Why on earth does that "please" you? I think it's a feeble attempt to try to stir things up again :yawn:

This forum is here to discuss and this has been a great discussion and I've enjoyed myself reading though it.

I'm not sure which posters you are referring to; I prefer Corrie to Eastenders anyday, but feel I am mature enough not to let that affect my judgement.

I believe Corrie made a mistake here; I agree The Sun made it worse, but if Corrie had been more sensitive in the first place, it wouldn't have given them grist for their mill.

What happened?

I don't think anyone is referring to you Caramel I may not agree with your point of view, but you give reasoned arguments and reasons why you believe it is wrong. It's certain other posters who are obviously jumping on the chance to have a go at Corrie (why on earth I've no idea ) and who won't even respond when asked exactly what their objections are.

Corrie has filmed a scne on the moors where Rosie and Sally have a car accident when things come to a boiling point over Craig and Rosie's future. 40 years ago Myra Hindley abducted and murdered children and they are said to be buried somewhere in the vast region that is the moors. The Sun has now come out with this story that it is "controversial" to film here because it upsets the families of those who are deceased.

the story was origionally made out to be sally forcing rosie in the car and deliberatly crashing it on the moors. i think thats why people and the paper kicked off, they interpreted it as too similar to kidnap and sally trying to hurt rosie. and to do somthing like this on a place where kidnap and murder took place and there are still bodies out there was a bit below the belt. it would be like filming a kidnap in soham, or a plane crash in to the trade centres or new york, or bombings in london. people viewed corries story as to close to the truth.

personnally i think the whole thing is a publicity stunt and am waiting to see the episode to see what corrie have actually done. i think it will be nothing like what its been made out to be. Although i do think the location is a bit poor given the rumers about the story line

I'm not quite sure I follow what you are getting at.
You are saying that it is a publicity stunt because the rumours say that Rosie is kidnapped and they crash.
And yet the rumours are untrue.....

what im saying is, corrie made out that the storyline was sally abducting rosie and craShing the car in the moors. the place where kidnap victims were killed. and there are many bodies still there. now there has been outrage at the lack of taste corrie has changed its story to sally driving rosie to bording school and breaking down in the moors. no longer being untasteful on kidnap and harm in the place where many were killed.

unless you want a reaction why do somthing like that. even people at corrie couldnt believe the story when it was first talked about. they got a reaction, people have hyped it up corrie have played it down and people will be watching the episode to see what happens. mission acomplished by corrie

So it wasn't just a rumour then?
Where did you read all this??

It's clear you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The storyline was never changed. The story always was Sally driving Rosie there, the car breaking down and them having a heart to heart before being rescued by Kevin. The pictures and plot details were already printed in The Sun last week in their tacky TV column, before deciding to give the pictures front page treatment the next week. I don't see why people keep insisting it was a publicity stunt without really explaining it.

Corrie is a soap just like any other soap and all they have done is use a quiet outside location to film an episode , if it was not for the scum no one would have heard anything about it , as an older person I got no problem with it and I remember what happened on that Moor

Exactly Uncle F!

PS. sorry if I offended anyone earlier with my 'immaturity' comment, most of you guys posting on here are fab, its just the minority who just come on to slate soaps that do my head in :sleep: .

Yes, a minority that is getting on my nerves as well!

We live in a culture where it now seems the mass-opinion is ruled by the tabloids. Rags like The Sun, The Mirror or the News of the World have a great flair for being able to twist stories to create an outcry, it happened wonderfully with EastEnders a couple of years ago.

If The Sun printed that the Moon was made of cheese, people would probably believe it.

It's so true, I remember something that happened in the 70's when the mother of Nancy Spungen (ask your parents ) was asked what she thought of her daughter's behaviour. Her reply was 'I don't care to comment', which was quoted in The Sun as 'I don't care'.
