I stopped watching Coronation Street just after the end of the pandemic. Before that, I was struggling to make any comprehension of it. It seems the scriptwriters fail to get anything right and never learn from their mistakes. The introduction of slapstick comedy, then it suddenly tries to be overly serious, sometimes in the same frame. Total ludicrous storylines, non-believable characters, and abysmal acting all round.

Some of the members of the cast could do much more for their character, and the sometimes bewildered viewer if they would please just slow down! They gabble the script too quickly and nothing is making much sense. If they have learnt the lines, please make the effort to speak them clearly. I believe it is the director's job is to get the best out of the script and the actors, so it's not all their fault, and if Rita, played by Barbara Knox could just take over as director for an episode with the younger players, she would show them how to act, and act them off the screen, her enunciation is always perfect.

I started to watch Corrie on Monday evening,until that horrible child Hope appeared,i changed channels immediately,this is the type of character the writers have to drop if they have any chance of getting their viewers back, i'll carry on switching off until Bride of Chuckie is written out,perhaps she could do away with Stephen and do us all a favour.

So Carla still had no blood test.She has been in a private facility which would be very expensive.Admitted with suspected psychosis, no consultant in that private hospital arranged blood tests.that is bog standard first line care.Even hard up NHS would do that, no not in this town.If l was Peter l would ask private hospital for my money back.So stupid.Does anyone explain this stuff to script writers.???

It would seem that the script writers ,of ALL the Soaps,have a Woke,P.C agender,don,t they realise that they are doing more harm to issues such as homosexual Rights,Race Relations etc by the things they write about and are making things worse with their one sided arguments,it really is time for the people at the top to put their foot down and say enough is enough. We live in the real world,stop looking at it in your pretend fantasy story lines.

It was really irritating to see Evelyn paying in Dev's shop by card! In real life, that would have been unlikely, and not fitting her character! Showing that is so unnecessary, but of course it is Part of pushing the Cashless Agenda!

I can't bear h to watch this drivel any longer. I feel physically sick whenever I have to sit through yet another episode of that creep, Stephen. Allowing him to drug Carla - repeatedly! - a woman who has suffered mental illness in the past, is risky reprehensible. It is showing a lack of moral responsibility on the part of the programme directors. This story is disgusting! And the nicey-nicey lack of some bitchy gossip, some adultery, some real human behaviour is as pathetic as the sneaky Stephen line. He needs his come-uppance NOW. So do the programme writers and directors!

I think the writers have shot them selves in the foot with the awful Stphen story,they're stuck with it and don,t know how to solve it ,like a lot of other recent stories that should have been left alone,far too many gays,the whole sorry Underworld rubbish,Hope and her boy wonder side kick,crazy Justin,the one sided race issue,all these going on in one back street in Manchester,Corrie was once entertaining,now it,s dying the death,time to get some new blood in,both sides of the camera,s.

I have watched coronation street for years but it has got to the point of ridiculous storylines now I can’t watch it now the worst character is Steven he is the worst actor by far he has killed and drugged people but no one has suspected him what a joke can’t watch it anymore
Written on: 29/03/2023
may I suggest a future plot for Corrie,a phantom graffiti artist starts writing" Stephen reid,who you going to kill next" around the street, just for fun of course,just to see if he can do another face instead of the dull, dreary expressionless looks we've seen so far.

For goodness sake does nobody realise what an appallingly bad actor Todd Boyce (Stephen) is ? Where has the humour gone, the good quality acting? Instead we see ridiculous story lines and poor acting. Come on writers and producers give us something worth watching.

from the very beginning Underworld has given the impression that it was a major player in the fashion industry,in reality it,s a sweat shop turning out tat in a Manchester back street, it,s time to call it a day.
Written on: 29/03/2023
Todd Boyce,who plays Stephen Reid,has been around since 1980,he,s been in masses of tv productions and has a good c.v, so why the hell is he wasting his time,and reputation on appearing in this terrible role in Corrie,this could ruin his creditability,i reckon it was a bad move in his acting career.

The Daisy Midgley stalker/wedding plans is so boring. She's either twittering nonsense about boring wedding plans or showing a miserable face about the stupid stalker. Gone on far too long. I record corrie so I can fast forward as soon as she comes on screen. Likewise Stephen Reid...non credible storyline and goes on an on..like who pushes someone into a garbage bin killing them then the guys father as well and gets away with it? Cant wait for him to be gone. Then there's Hope Stape. With her parents running in circles round the horrid brat. Maria..refugee story..boring. It's a big shame Jacob has gone. The new people introduced recently are as boring as hell. Can we not have some comedy? Some excitement? Some unpredictability? Gary behaving badly again? Aaron dumping Summer and finding someone knew and exciting like Kylie was or Aiden's girlfriend Eva seems all the good ones have left. Jasmine is boring as well and Elaine too...Evelyn is far better for an older woman character...more like her please .

Knicker factory sweat shop gets big European orders followed by big deal in the U.S,yeah right,i don,t think so,a hand full of amateur machinists,rubbish designer team,poor management,who are they kidding. It,s a tough world out there,they wouldn,t last five minutes.

What happened about all those giant holes that featured after the big storm, haven,t seen any workmen on the street, no houses have sunk,the Platt,s garden is still there, no body has suddenly been swallowed up and vanished, typical council bodge up.

After watching Corrie for the last forty years, I am going to stop watching. The viewers are fed up of these long lingering story lines that the writers think keep the fans interested. Well they differently don’t !!

I've been watching coronation Street since I was a kid and it has changed so much and the story line about Max's and Aliyah calling him a Racist constantly is becoming boring.. gonna end up not watching this anymore as it just winds me up too much woke now.

fantastic story line on wednesday 8/3 episode with daisy and her starker, i really did jump when he came in through the back door. fantastic and also well done to cast daisy and justin and daniel did an excellent job.

I think Coronation Street needs more of a balance. At the moment promoting anti male storylines to the point of misandry. Male charactars never shown in a positive light. A shame because I have watched since 1970 and have got many happy memories and it is still capable of flashes of the old humour. Just be even handed and yes be up to date but in a nuanced way.

I agree, you don't see a female villain! At the same time, the men are always made to look like buffoons, especially ones like Steve, Tim, Peter, and others, all made to look stupid by their wives, girlfriends, or sisters and daughters, etc!
The woman are always hen - pecking the men, all the time!
Written on: 14/03/2023
Mind you, the men in Coronation Street have always been made to look like buffoons, who are constantly being held - pecked by their women!
Steve, Tim, and George, for example, come to mind!

The failed speech by Steven (or is it Stephen) was utterly ridiculous. What has all this to do with a back street in a Manchester suburb? Bring back Ena, Matha and Minne chatting in the Snug. I really do look forward to watching the classic episodes from some 20 years ago - good actors and characters and believable storylines, with some serious points and humour thrown in.

Carla has suffered mental and physical serious health problems.So Peter is concerned and takes her to the doctor.The doctor does nothing.The least any doctor would do is arrange blood tests especially with Carlas medical history.Surely Peter would insist on it.No that did not happen????This is crazy stuff.Maria promised her good mate David she would not tell Gary about the attempt to kiss her, went straight home and told mad Gary??? Sarah is a horrible person plotting with lunatic Steven and lying to damage Carlas business.The woman who gave them a job.. Maybe Sarah is mad like uncle Steven she always has a mad grin on her face.Last person on tv doing that was JR Ewing in Dallas we all know what happened to him!!!!

I find it hard to believe that a complete stranger could walk into a pub in a working class area of Manchester and openly stalk and terrorise one of the barmaids,in the real world he would end up in an alley one night and be in no fit state to hurt anyone ever again,this is no disrespect to the good people of Manchester it,s simply stating a reality,Justin would not have lasted long,in fact the writers could work along these lines to get rid of him.

Coronation Street has got so much worse recently with Steven being able to commit two murders drug and manipulate Carla and other people. Getting loads of money from the remortgage of his mum's house and many other things without anyone questioning him. He suddenly appears and intensely follows people around when he wants to manipulate them, and, no one questions his sudden interest in their life and then he is gone after the next victim. The stories and behaviours are completely unbelievable. The story about Bernie's look alike robbing a jewelry store and framing Bernie. Well you can clearly hear and see that she is a different person . . It's just all so ridiculous. Daisy would have got a restraining order against Justin by now. So many unbelievable stories. They need to get a new screenwriter and plot creator.

Who is writing this show , l remember when it was a mixture of comedy and good storylines but now it’s turned into a left wing snowflake production with stomach churning badly written propaganda , my days of coronation street are over
Written on: 01/03/2023
i see more potential recruits on the horizon ready to take on the followers of Woke,the Luvvies in the Snowflake brigage will be cancelled and we can all return to the real world, the only problem will be finding suitable employment for them without upsetting their delicate natures.

I never thought my partner would refuse to watch this again after 40 years What is all this rubbish about terrorists and asylum seekers “leftie crap” It’s a street in the north, all we are seeing here is sympathy for for illegals to sit down in Roy’s cafe, not for a bacon sandwich… And Maria seriously a councillor, when her husband has murdered many people??? Social conscience my foot!! Get more middle of the road writers please And don’t get me on about Stephen and is annoying voice and concern for people he has either myrdered or poisoned Let eastendeds do all that miserable crap!!
Written on: 02/03/2023
I think Roy should be careful who he offers a Bacon sarnie to,many asylum seekers would be offended,and we can,t have that can we. To be honest ,the local café is not the best of places to have meetings ,there are plenty who would not take kindly to. this is a local eating place for people to enjoy quality break time ,not having the place taken over by leftie sympathizers.
written by Earnshaw47 on 26/02/2023
I really don't recognise Corry anymore , this is not typical of a northern street , trying to make it too topical and too wokery , is there a new producer , whoever is producing it should leave ASAP
written by Manchester21 on 21/02/2023
This story centering around the young lad, recently jailed is not realistic and promotes division. Firstly, it's unlikely he would plead guilty to terrorism, for another, no mention of his warnings to alert people to the bomb in the van and about the knife attack in court or when neighbours are having a go at him or his Dad, David. Dragged out far too long and making it look like the UK is full of white racists and extreme far right terrorists. Alya is becoming unlikeable so not a character you can emphasise with.
Written on: 27/02/2023
Corrie needs a good clear out ,so many of the cast are just taking up space and should have gone ages ago,the writers could have saved themselves a lot of work if they had let the bomb in the van go off,in reality it would have been more realistic to real life and it would get rid of all the potential leavers in one go.Not a nice thing to say I know but a lot of whats said is offensive to many viewers,lets be honest,the whole thing with the van was ridiculous.

Will some one please tell Steve McDonald to stop trying to be funny,he pulls stupid faces and acts the comedian but I find it painful to watch, mind you,he must have a weird sense of humour,look who he's married to!
