Corrie Live

[albion534]

Is Deirdre still in it?

 

[The Birdman]

Don't spoil it I have recoded a week worth so I can fast forward the adverts!

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Why was it live, what was the objective?

Probably because they like living on the edge every now and then

It's been rubbish for 50 years so it's not going to get brilliant for a one off. Corrie is flaccid and rambling compared with the vibrant and enjoyably laughable Eastenders. ...

It's much more fun as its so polarised with characters fighting pointlessly for possession of the goldmines that are The Car Lot and The Arches. A characters star will rise and fall and rise again as the frequently mumbled plans are discussed fervently in a snug in the Queen Vic... " I've got a plan to get control of The Chippy/ The Quickiemart/ The Arches and X can't stop me ! " You shouldn't be able to make this shat up but, they do ! How many times does one of the Mitchell girls have to keep going back to an ex violent/controlling/ murdering/stupid/desperate partner ? Poor old Kat and Alfie are on and off like a toilet light switch. It's brilliant crap !

You've forgotten that every single new character, is a long lost relative of one of the established characters, who nobody has ever mentioned before, and when they are eventually written out because the actor who plays them wants to make it big in Hollywood, they are never mentioned again until they come back from the dead with a new head

She's DEAD.


Not Deirdre, the wooden woman who played her.

Anne Kirkbride was a lovely lady who lived in Spain and wanted to leave Corrie but unfortunately she was taken before then.

So that the viewing figures could soar with people tuning in to see who was going to corpse, or maybe a stage hand walking into a scene by mistake.
Like me.

Indeed, It's amazing how many characters leave to pursue " Other Avenues " and come back after one or two series of fading stardom ref. Dean,L, Gaffney, D, Wallace J plus numerous " Ben's " et al...

 

[Return of the Rev]

You need to get out more.

I say he shouldn't be allowed out anymore

 

[grubbyhands]

What a disappointment. A pathetic obvious storyline no wonder the producer was sacked. IMHO they would have done better for Max to have seen what happened and phoned the police and Callum run off to avoid arrest then crash his car in a police chase.

AH HA HA HA HA HA! ! Jigglypuff!

FFS, who watches that crap, don't you have anything interesting to do. Blimey. It's made for people who just want to sit in front of a box and put their brains (?) into neutral.

Agree it's nearly as pointless as someone who opens a thread which he has no interest in and takes the time to register a comment.
My experience of Corrie was while surfing the net while the wife 'watched it' falling asleep and when I switched it over magically coming to life to say 'I was watching that'. My mind was definitely in neutral at the end of it
