CHRONIC CAMP CORRIE, these are the three words I use to describe Corrie at the minute, it has been god damn awful since the start of 2005 I just don't know if I can stomach anymore of these harebrained storylines anymore!
I am sure by now you are all agreeing with me, it is virtually impossible not to hold this view point. What exactly is the problem with Chronic Corrie though?
It has become awash with bizarre, goofy, grotesque, ludicrous, comical, drossy characters. This is highly unusual for a soap opera and will not be sustainable for the future. Of course, soaps can have comedy characters, Corrie has managed is greatly in the past but now they are being slaughtered by the likes of Eastenders as stange as it sounds. Eastenders has comedy characters BUT THEY ARE AUTHENTIC CHARACTERS, a true representation of OUR SOCIETY. In Chronic Corrie, THEY ARE NOT, instead they are OTT. Blanche is one example of a good comedy character, but then there is SCOOTER (FFS! Scooter? What brightspark thought of that one then?), DIGGORY, MEL HUTCHWRIGHT, KEITH, THE FACTORY TWINS etc..... All of these feeble characters wouldn't even be able to handle a dramatic storyline, the shows a complete and utter joke.
Not only this folks, but it's also loaded with shabby acting. The likes of those characters mentioned above, as well as Sarah Platt, Adam Baldwin, Dev & Sunita, Charlie , Shelley & Bev, Claire....I could go on but i'll save myself the bother!
The storylines are dreadful, Killer Katy that ran for months and still remains unresolved, whatever happened to a court case? Totally....laughable....
Charlie & Shelley, I won't even go there.
Danny & Leanne, I'd have to be an idiot to believe this load of claptrap.
The other episode, ROY sets about creating the invention left him... could this programme insult my intelligence much more?
To sum it up, right now this is what I think of Corrie
