Please bring Lewis back. Nigel Havers is an excellent actor and was given very little air space at all. He made Corrie worth watching. (read more)

Written on: 16/08/2010

The Audrey/lewis storyline is really good. Audrey played the part wondefully - as for the rest - what a load of rubbish. The John Stape storyline is awful. I now watch the recorded @on demand' version so that I can fast forward the bits I don't like. Most of the time I fast forward nearly the entire programme. Anyone wonder why it's not winning any awards? (read more)

Written on: 09/08/2010

At the moment Coronation Street is uninteresting, the storylines involving Craig and John and screaming Fizz are dull. I love all the older characters and they are what hold Coronation Street together, but we seem to be seeing less and less of them at the moment. I do like the Audrey/Lewis saga, and that is holdingit together for me. More of Norris, Emily, Rita and Mary as they are always great to watch. (read more)

Written on: 30/05/2010

Why do the writers of Coronation Street treat its viewers like fools who would not know any better. The characters seem to have a change complex that would not occur in everyday life.

Gail is supposed to have murdered Joe, but there was never any solid evidence. Tracy lets them know about a rolling pin which there is no forensic evidence to say it was used.

Tina goes on some kind of mad trip and despite all she knows about Gail
somehow thinks that Gail is capable of murder. I want to... (read more)

Written on: 09/03/2010

I really think Corry needs a new batch of writers. It got stale and its time for a change. Some of the story lines are as if they could be in Eastenders (ie. rubbish), the rubbish Joe's death (Gail will be charged then she will get off but it will take a few weeks to happen - YAWN).

Not all the fans are as thick as the writers! (read more)

I really like the Coronation Street storyline of maria and Tony but feel it is dragging on....I like it that Michelle is back (rip baby Archie)...Tina would NEVER fall for that creep Gary...Len is a greasy haired idiot (in my opinion) ...new boss Luke, intriguing ..Janice a nurse?? is that storyline going anywhere?....will molly+Tyrone ever come back from the honeymoon, and will Jackie get away with the ticket-stealing?

Written on: 09/12/2008

8 December. Have just watched the worst ever ever episode of Coronation Street. Do we really need that vile family in the Street, or should I say Battersby's mark 2 but a hundred times worse.
Screaming from start to finish. Much more suited for Eastenders I think! It was so boring and predictable....please get rid ASAP!
I would like you to know I am a life time fan of Corrie, I hate to miss it but I think I will be fast forwarding from now on! (read more)

Written on: 06/03/2008

This soap has gone from one of the best to one of the worst in my opinion. The Michelle sorry saga has run its course - David is a pain in the neck as usual - his mother is not much better! It has turned into Eastenders all doom and gloom no laughs at all. Not what I call entertainment a pity really as it used to be one of the "not to be missed programmes" we had . Shame on the writers who come up with this drivel. (read more)

Written on: 03/03/2008

I've watched Coronation Street for many years but have come to the point where I switch off some of the episodes. I am 76 although I don't think I am priggish. At one time Coronation Street was a family show but now there are so many unmarried mothers, youngsters love etc when it would be more appropriate to be involved in school. I am fast coming to the conclusion that the Street no longer considers morals to be of importance and in fact I am extremely disappointed that is going from being... (read more)

Written on: 12/05/2007 by Dangerously harsh (4 reviews written)

Coronation street is considered to be among the legends of television viewing and with the storylines it produces it certainly can be considered to be a great soap, but does it really deserve this status?

Well lets start with the good points. The highly comic scenes produced by this soap are memorable and go down in television history as truly inspirational moments to up and coming directors. The storylines are also excellently written by the production staff, but let's be honest apart... (read more)

Written on: 11/01/2007 by Helen of Troy (188 reviews written)

I have watched Coronation Street on and off ever since I can remember. If you miss a few episodes you can soon pick up again. Many of the actors/actresses have been in Corrie for years, making it a little more realistic than some soaps where the actors keep moving on.
Tracey Barlow is a great character, a superbitch you love to hate! Cunning, devious and wickedly clever, that cheeky little grin lets you know she is up to something! Charlie should never have crossed her, she's more than a... (read more)

I think he does Micky, and I think it' has to be Tracy who kills him! Should be exciting as the story goes on! Very cleverly written plot but I hope she is found guilty of his murder. Justice must prevail! Shame the Charlie character has to go out of the series, everyone likes a good bad guy!

Yep, he sure is, I was hoping for a bit of a twist though, I wanted big Ken Barlow to go storming into Charlie&#039;s room, punch him in the face and turn off all the machines!! Disappointed.

Trash! Junk food for the mind! The only sensible comment Gerry Adams has made about about England and the Brits..' Coronation Street should be banned due to its loose morals, concentration on pub life, dim story lines and halfwitted actors'.

And yet "rubblegum" here you are. Taking the time to comment on a show you despise. Knowing an awful lot about it, indicating that maybe you actually never miss an episode? Self loathing I'm thinking.

Written on: 28/08/2005 by katt770 (3 reviews written)

I have watched Coronation Street for years, but I have to say I don't watch it as often anymore, as the Shelly and Charlie storyline is dragging out. Every time it is on, it's always about Shelly in her room not coming out, and Charlie leaving her every five minutes, and packing his bags. I think Fred should sack her, and then it might be watchable again. (read more)

Coronation Street is great, but at the moment the storyline with Shelley and Charlie is driving me mad,my friends and I discuss Coronation Street and we all think the same,it's about time it came to an end. The episode where Shelley was supposed to have had plastic surgery was horrendous,the makeup on her eyes was so bad.Charlie would never put up with Shelley in real life, he would of left for better pastures a long time ago.How many of the characters are still actually married?

Written on: 04/08/2005 by Jasper Brown (1 review written)

I have been a fan of Coronation Street for many years. I come from Manchester myself and although "Weatherfield" is not in keeping with most places within the borough of Salford, I still find I can relate to many elements of the show. One the great things about Coronation Street is the way they introduce new characters - slowly and subtly, unlike some of its counterparts who bring a character into the show and then focus on them solely for two weeks, whilst the viewer has, at this point,...

Written on: 20/06/2005 by lyn Thomas

Coronation is great when it combines both drama and humour, however it does have a tendency to drag out the big storylines. An example of this is the present storyline:
For goodness sake, will the powers that be at Corrie please do something about Silly Shelley. No Landlord in his right mind would put up with her as a manager. What Fred should do, (script writers take note), is to inform her that he is bringing in a new manager. A mature no nonsence lady who would soon put Charlie on his... (read more)
