Corrie Fire

[mallyh]

who isn't going to get out of this fire ?

[hc4361]

There are a lot of actors leaving Corrie over the next few months.

When I think how good Brookside was on Ch4 & they closed it down & this rubbish is allowed to continue it makes me wonder about script writers.

[chaptazbru2]

Brookside used to be my favourite soap, sad when it finished, BUT I do love Corrie and never miss it !

I think distance is lending you a perspective that is rose-coloured there Ron.

As I recall, the storylines Brookside descended into as they hurtled towards their inevitable demise were to be found in the fertile imaginations of people who ingest industrial levels of hallucinogenic drugs!

I know Corrie has its ups and downs, but moving a soap through fifty years and keeping it relevent and interesting is a serious balancing act, and viewing figures suggest they succeed more than they fail.

Oi leave Brookside alone .....

[hc4361]

There is a truly shocking storyline coming up that I am most uncomfortable with - hopefully it will be well done.

[MargoTester]

Is this the one involving Leanne abusing Simon.

[hc4361]

Leanne does not abuse Simon.

[MargoTester]

Sorry wrong way round he attacks her.

That cute little boy is going to become a monster

[MargoTester]

He's always been a monster, but that's only my opinion.

[hc4361]

*shock*

[MargoTester]

But then with a father like Peter it's hardly surprising.

[hc4361]

Poor lad's had an awful life so far.

[chaptazbru2]

Not looking forward to that storyline either. Another complete change of personality for a soap character !

That cute little boy is going to become a monster


He's never going to become an actor.

[hc4361]

I suspect it won't be a sudden change. He'll have to deal with Carla leaving, losing Grandma Deidre and going to her funeral, Leanne in mourning over Kal, never mind the start of puberty.

[chaptazbru2]

Yeah, good point hc.

[hc4361]

I'm welling up just thinking about it. No mum, dad or grandma to call his own.....

[hc4361]

I forgot he lost great-grandma Blanche, too
