“Ridiculous plots”
★☆☆☆☆
written by Dalyvr496 on 16/03/2024
What has happened to this once great program. Ridiculous plots and awful acting. Gemma the Bailey family and this new guy Jack Carroll to name but a few except now Fizz is back as well. It appears the youngsters are taking over but at least they can act. Now we have this ridiculous plot that Roy is a murderer, please dont let it go on as long as the Stephen plot.

“What on earth has happened to this on e unmissable soap!”
★★☆☆☆
written by Reynolds376 on 04/01/2024
Coronation Street has become so unbelievable and totally boring. The only best bits involves the superb acting by Peter Ash who plays Paul Foreman, so realistic. Everything else has gone so far down the pan it is ridiculous. Tracey and David used to have great parts, funny, so watchable and very real. What is that awful Damian doing back! Yet another stupid gangster story, yet another blackmail story about to come out probably and everyone lying to everyone else constantly. Some of the most unbelievable storylines ever and I don’t doubt there will by yet another affair story too! They can’t seem to think up anything else these days. The ridiculous Fizz and Aggie stories, please stop insulting us, I for one have had enough.

can someone please tell me what language Dev Alahan speaks,all i can hear is a mumble between clenched teeth,almost a whisper with a stupid grin,when he does speak up he talks so fast i haven't a clue what he's on about.Add this problem to the fact he's a useless actor all in all he's a waste of space.

“My favourite soap ”
★★★★★
written by on 06/12/2023
I am a 21 year old superfan of Coronation Street. I have watched since January 2007 when Charlie Stubbs was violently killed by Tracy Barlow. Every year I have watched it has included the same two things- humour and hard hitting drama. I find it sad how people have given up on it but it's not Corrie's fault that life has become more difficult than ever. People seem to think Corrie is the worst thing on tv. Personally, I'd say Hollyoaks is the worst. Corrie has one of the biggest fanbases in the world across the UK, Canada and Australia. I'm sure things will change in the future. These soaps don't keep the same producers. They always change. But there's no need to insult their work or the cast involved in telling these stories. They're only doing they're jobs. I still think Corrie is the strongest soap going. It's currently 63 years old and still running. Long may it continue.

Corrie will survive if it has a good skake up,it needs to get back to realistic storylines,gets some humour back,get a good writer in,get rid of all this stupid woke social issue rubbish,basicly bring back the old Corrie every one knew and looked forward to watching,if they don't sort themselves out then they could end up on the scrap heao.

I have watched Corrie for over 50 years, okay very 55 years. Brings back so many memories of watching with my nan long ago when the likes of Pat Phoenix and Julie Goodyear ruled the waves, top soap then. Now just a boring no it worth watching programme where they must write the scripts in the tea breaks!

“Such a depressing episode”
★☆☆☆☆
written by Americaxyyzzz on 27/11/2023
Just awful. What are the scriptwriters doing? Corrie used to intersperse heavy storylines with humerous scenes. Now too many depressing storylines. How can you have, the bullying story; the gambling; story; the MND story along with Gemma's depression;the Carla, Peter story; the Lauren story all in one episode?. It's finished me off I can tell you. Watched Corrie for years and years and worked for Granada,YTV and then Itv all my working life and never seen anything like it. Needs a drastic rethink

It really is boring,with a capital B.The bully boy Mason must get his come-uppence soon,big time.No more kids please,get back to some old style Corrie. I turned the sound down when Gemma started whinging,she does my head in.I have one request,it's an old one,can the actors please stop talking and eating at the same time,that and shouting,they don't have to do either to prove they can act thank goodness Les Battersby's gone.

I agree - too many children and youngsters - why? Noone can tell me that children and young people of the age portrayed actually watch CS. Even some of the long term actors are given scripts to reduce them to ridicule. Also there is a general lack of continuity compared with the classic episodes - sometimes a few weeks go by and then we return to a storyline.

... and to make matters even worse, there's another family member in the family of the worst actors that shouldn't have been created in the first place. The only two decent actors were the younger footballer son who unfortunately left early and now mother on a rather long absence. Father and brother were going to build houses but don't actually work; elder son is such a cringe actor and now we have to put up with OTT grandfather even longer. Who looks after the baby who would be too young to have that essential playhouse and interesting how Corrie seems to magic up bedrooms from nowhere.

“Oh dear - another director who wishes s/he was in film”
★☆☆☆☆
written by 29Fuller on 17/11/2023
Dreadful episode on 17 November. Clearly the director wishes they were really working in film and has no concept of TV or Coronation Street. Weird angles, daft moving from one scene to another through water running out of taps etc. You have missed the whole point of the programme. No thank you. You go back to the day job in film. We will go back to the directors of the past who knew what they were doing and kept us entertained.

Just watched on youtube about Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner from the 60s/70s. I am of an age to say that episodes at that time did reflect real life in a back street. Fast forward 2023 and it is not just make belief but it is really utter rubbish.

Totally agree with you Trolleybus654. Unfortunately, faster paced lives and changes in society have demanded that plots keep up with what's happening today. In true Corrie style, writers are juggling ( struggling??) to remain relevant to some viewers, and informative to others. The early days focused on the steady and true characters and not the increasingly absurd and frankly, in such a small section of street, utterly crazy plots which characters are involved in. Thank goodness for YouTube...

The plots are fine and of course need to change but that is not my comment. The style of directing does not need to be more suitable for the big screen. The whole point of the programme is to be suitable for the small screen. Shame current directors are not happy with that.

R- 468 Regan,you must use the same hospital as me.On a more serious note,please get rid of the school boy bully story,in fact steer clear of any thing to do with obnoxious kids,it's boring and tedious and i just lose interest, if you have to have a child/teenager story have one with some decent kids for a change,there are some decent one's out there believe it or not.

“Peter killing Steven,”
★☆☆☆☆
written by Careyza93 on 25/10/2023
This is complete rubbish, Peter clearly did not know what Steven had said to Jenny he thought he was taking her hostage.Peter reacted to the situation that’s all.Steven is a serial killer has lied and cheated everyone , dangerous man. Jenny suddenly believes he loved her. He killed her partner and his father was going to fly off and leave her but she believed he loved her. The woman must be insane.Or we are for watching this rubbish.

if Peter hit Stephen with enough force to kil him,how did he manage to miss Jenny? if you think this was rubbish wait till you see the funeral! What I don,t understand is ,why did Peter have such a guilt trip afterwards,he did us all a favour.

I found this whole ending of Stephen to be confusing and very poorly done. We were looking forward to the ending, very disappointing. I read that the 'Steven' character had to be wrapped up sooner rather than later, and I guess that's why the resulting story line suffered with it's poor writing. All the main characters involved in this story line have not come across as true, especially Jenny.

Nooooooo - he's just so annoying and he's not an actor. Who would put up with him, his trumpet and his multiple boxes in a van? What exactly does he bring to the storyline except purile humour - not funny at all - and just a right pain. Get rid before we will be turning off in droves. Actually, doing that now......

Definitely agree - only been in one episode and that was enough. Completely unbelievable. Why do all new characters in Soaps arrive with such an aggressive/unlikeable/angry attitude, or the opposite "cheeky chappy" who's just annoying and not funny in any way, eg Bobby. Corrie really needs one big CULL - there are not enough storylines to go around and it's soooooo repetitive. And I never want to see Billy and Paul in the buff again.....

“Tyrone mother”
★★★★☆
written by jyCooley180 on 22/10/2023
Claire sweeney is a good actress but her storyline is so repetitive as not too long ago we went through all this with Abby so my interest in the storyline is nil just fast forward even though the actors are great it just doesn’t grab the imagination Please no more of the drug addiction storylines unless you have a break of a good few years the illnesses are the same I know it’s to draw attention to the conditions but how many can we see I’m a cancer survivor so understand the importance of the storylines but only so many times I want cheering up not always miserable with all the depressing storylines my husband has abandoned the show and now watches the classic ones which are so much more light hearted
Blimey101's Comment

I zoned out early on the Tyrone's mother story line. I know Corrie does try to allow some characters lighter moments and a laugh or two; viewers have complained for a long time about not having that. Classic Corrie watching is the best for long time fans of the show, it's like another world to watch it.

Poor Roy,i really do feel sad for him,one of the nicest blokes around,not what you would call worldly wise and fairly naive,has the mis-fortune to be nicked by the dumbest bunch of cops since Charlie Chaplin days. The missing girl is...missing,there's no evidence she's dead but Roy's accused of murder. The female detective proves one thing,there really are dumb blondes.
