... View MoreI love Corrie I watch it every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have been watching Corrie for a few years now I love all the twists in it. The best ones in it are so far the Peter/Toyah affair, Steve publicly announcing himself as Oliver's father in The Bistro, Andy down in the cellar for seven months and Phelan killing Luke. I cannot wait until Phelan gets his comeuppance and Eileen FINALLY seeing him for who he is she's genuinely a nice person but is such a stubborn fool for not listening to Anna and everyone else who tried warning her about him but thankfully it won't be going on much longer. I actually met 4 Coronation Street stars in January 2017. I met Luke, Andy, Gary and Bethany. I found Bethany's storylines very interesting especially the bullying storyline but more so the Nathan storyline I think it's good raise awareness because there are really nasty people out there they act all nice at first but then they just [mess] with you I'm not saying don't get involved with people but just be careful who you get involved because we don't know what tricks they could up their sleeve. I used to have the hots for Tracy Barlow a friend of my mothers got me a t shirt with Tracy Barlow on it. There are a few good looking women in Coronation Street I have to admit. I reckon Peter and Carla will give it another go one day this year maybe after Peter finds out the truth about their baby. I think they will reunite anyway if Ken and Deirdre, Kevin and Sally did then they could too although maybe Carla is too sensible to get back with Peter because she knows what he's like now. Now Peter isn't a bad person he's just a tool especially when it comes to women he'll always drop his current woman like a hot snot to be with his bit on the side it's always the same old carry on. I'm not so sure if Gary and Sarah will last either I know they gave their relationship another go but Sarah mightn't and most likely won't be able to cope with Gary's baby just across the street even if they do decide to get married I think she will jet him at the altar I'm not saying that to be negative but some people do forgive their partners after committing adultery but they can only live with it for so long before they actually break up permanently I think it would have been the same for Kevin and Anna if they were still together so I actually think Kevin did the right thing by ending things with her. I just hope Robert and Michelle last they're a solid couple they have supported one other when needed most and for that reason I think they should stick together . There has been a few lies here and there but they're genuinely strong.
... View MoreThis show has just surpassed awful in my opinion. Unfortunately, this repetitive soap opera takes 30 minutes of CBC television daily, and for a while, this is the only thing on. In every episode, two characters have an argument in an abnormal whispery tone until one says something VERY offensive. :O. Then the other one breaks out into tears and they make up at the end. It seems the writers just realized that flat out ear-wrenching crying was the only way they could make the audience feel for the characters. And now that the characters are so similar in attitudes, you can't tell them apart! I cannot remember a single character's name. Not once have I ever felt any pity for these dull characters. Also, the constant arguing is just irritating. I get it, it's a soap opera, they need to include sobbing and arguing, but the arguments sound exactly the same every time you hear them. They all fit into the same mould. The only excusable part of this show is the acting. It goes a bit over the top sometimes, but it's pretty reasonable. Besides that, the story is non-existent at this point, and it has just become a sad excuse for the audience to 'relate' to the characters who are sobbing through %50 of the show's runtime.
... View MoreCoronation Street is now nearing its 50th birthday and even today it remains one of Britain's most popular series. The reason for its continuous popularity is very simple. It has good story lines, humor and wit, drama and tension, colorful characters, excellent lightning and direction, simple locations and it evokes the majority's emotions on a weekly basis.These things are very simple and most soap operas incorporate them but Coronation Street has the upper hand continuously because they juggle all them in every episode and there is never central focus on any particular theme it is all dealt with equality of division.The star of the show is not the actors or the story lines but the characters. When people tune in they do not do so to watch Bruce Jones who plays Les Battersby but they do so to watch Les Battersby. Les Battersby and the other characters have become as real as the actors that are playing them and in most cases more famous. The characters are wonderfully written and in most cases portrayed by very talented individuals who seldom over act but are willing. They successfully cover a wide spectrum of human emotions and their acting ability should be honored considering that being an actor on Coronation Street could sometimes mean story lines that require 24:7 attendances on the set.The story lines are very good also and they always have two to three separate story lines going at all times. But there will always be a major theme covered over a pro-longed period. At the moment they are dealing with Post-Natal Depression a topic that has been touched upon before in many soaps but not as vividly as it has been done in Coronation Street. Not only is it a hooking storyline but also it is very educational on it can manifest itself in different people and the adverse effect it can have on the families and friends that are involved.Coronation Street has consistently been the publics favorite for many years because of it's down to earth approach to characters and story lines but it only loses out to other soaps because it has a reluctance to over do it with crime or natural disaster stories. It does from time to time have larger than life story lines consisting of serial killers or murders but these are few and far between. Unfortunately it's attempts to keep with up with rival soaps means that it is transmitted four times a week also means that this provides me with my only fault and this is viewers can be over exposed to heavy story lines and this can be quite daunting even for the most hardcore fan. Other than this I would say you could do a lot worse.
... View MoreMy 10/10 rating is for the sterling work that Jean Alexander and Bernard Youens put into 'Coronation Street'. For two decades, they played to perfection the warring Ogdens. So good were they in these roles that many became convinced they really existed. When Stan got into debt, for example, offers of financial help flooded into the Granada offices. You may think that amusing, but it shows how much the public took the Ogdens to heart. The Ogdens were Stan, an obese layabout who cleaned windows for a living ( when he was not feeding his face with bacon sandwiches or swilling pints of Newton & Ridley's ), and Hilda, a head-scarved harridan with a fondness for gossip, not to say singing out of tune. They lived in less than opulent surroundings. Who can forget those plaster ducks on the 'muriel' ( mural )? In spite of their constant quarrelling, there was genuine affection between the couple. They brought humour, warmth and pathos to the show.To celebrate the Silver Jubilee in 1977, the Street's residents decided to ride around on a lorry dressed as characters from British history - Annie Walker as Queen Elisabeth 1, Len Fairclough as Sir Francis Drake, and Ena Sharples as Queen Victoria, and so on. Only Stan would be so stupid as to leave the lorry's lights on all night, hence the next morning the battery was dead!In one lovely episode, the Ogdens won a weekend at a luxury hotel, and to see them living the high life was an absolute joy. The deflated look on Hilda's face as they returned home spoke volumes about the sort of humdrum lives they led. The Ogdens helped make 'Coronation Street' ( I refuse to refer to it as 'Corrie' ) one of the best programmes of the '60's and '70's. Youens died on 27/8/84. Of course Stan had to die too. It presented the writers with a problem as Albert Tatlock had recently been written out because of the sad demise of Jack Howarth. Not wishing to kill Stan off so soon after, they pretended he was still alive but confined to bed. Several weeks later, Hilda discovered his lifeless body. An icon of 'Coronation Street' was no more. I do not watch 'Coronation Street' these days. It is a different programme now, aimed at a much younger audience. I doubt whether Stan and Hilda would feel at home in the Street these days. As Granada Plus's repeats showed, the Ogdens were simply irreplaceable.
