View Full Version : Chronic Camp Corrie

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! :sick: :rotfl:
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? :wall:
To sum it up, right now this is what I think of Corrie :moonie: :moonie:

:eek: Summed up everything I've wanted to say.
People have got into the habit of saying it's good etc and the best soap just like they've got into the habit of saying EastEnders is so bad but the truth is when Corrie tries to do drama it's a complete laughing stock and drama is an important level in soap IMHO.
Not to say they can't do ANY drama because they can but most of it is HORRENDOUS and naturally doesn't fit the environment.
Bring back Hilda thought she was a complete plank at the time but looking back the show needs her!!!!
after watching it tonight i have to agree,its heading for that slippery slope and as we know from ee its hard to pull yaself back again.sean and his gay comments etc are just him himself are detsetible.those factory scenes are the worst there is no point to those twins and all the others in there bore you to death.

Corrie has managed is greatly in the past but now they are being slaughtered by the likes of Eastenders as stange as it sounds. Yes it does sound very strange
Eastenders has comedy characters BUT THEY ARE AUTHENTIC CHARACTERS, a true representation of OUR SOCIETY. Yes we all know pantomime gangsters like Andy Hunter and Johnny Allen [/QUOTE] Blanche is one example of a good comedy character, [/QUOTE]agreed
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, agreed
Charlie & Shelley, I won't even go there. This is a fantastic realistic storyline well acted

NOPE I wouldnt. If you read my reply to Donald duck you will see that I agree with him on some points ie Diggory SCOOTER and Roys invention . I am not making a connexion here
Yes Coorie in common with other soaps has some bad moments which I have criticised. I do not wear rose tinted glasses nor am I a corrie brownoser

I was in a bad mood yesterday with hormones and stuff amongst other things so I wasn't really my usual cheery self, I apologise.
digital duck you are a legend!!!!!!! your words of wisdom are what we are all thinking at the back of our minds!!!!
ok corrie had a couple of good years, but they have passed now and the crema de la cream of british soap operas rises to the top: Eastenders were it belongs
it should be renmaed boredom street it is so pafetci, where is the drama??? it is pruely based on comedy these days, they think becuase some critic in London said they do comedy well that they use this to their advanatge
in last nights epsiode aloine: Sean's crush (Comedy) Norri's Novel (Comedy) The Butcher Fued (Comedy) and Ken's Peace (comedy) to name but a few
i know the ITV will never axe corrie but i swear it is a boring show with boring character and storylines, it is having a downfall now and unlike eastenders i cannot see it coming back on top
eastenders has always stuck to normality instead of serial killers, scorned exes that destroy an entire community and contless cameos that dont work!!!

they need sean becuase he is "gay" and what i dont like is they make fun of his campness, and i dont reckon frnakie and jamie would bed each oither becuase they are too close and they consider each other as good as mother and son

I'm sure that can be arranged, do they do duck costumes around the Weatherfield area? It's just if we hook Shelley up in one, you'd have your duck in orange. She is orange afterall, and Sally Lindsay is about a good an actor as some strange liquid.
While we're at it, we could go for the full whack (QUACK!) and have the whole cast dressed up in ridiculous pantomine costume, it wouldn't take long Claire has already got her glasses on, Cilla is practically a walking dame, the twins could be the ugly sisters and Tracey could be the tree (she's wooden enough).
QUACK QUACK! :rotfl:

Sean was funny at first, now he's to predictable and boring. I agree with you fully the factory scenes are pointless, what with those two stupid twins (come on are people really that thick), Kelly (Umm what does she contribute?, answer nothing) and wooden Adam Barlow(dreadful dreadful dreadful).
Corrie is really bad at the moment, prolonging all the storylines and adding ridiculous characters i.e Diggory. How people can call it the best soap around at the moment is stupid, it hasn't been any good since Maya and Karen left. Eastenders always gets slaughtered , yet at the moment thats better and more realistic. What corrie is in need of is some serious drama, some more realistic storylines and a real nasty villian, they need a new Richard Hillman.

If Corrie has been good for 40 years then I'm Marilyn Monroe. IMHO it's been crap for atleast a decade. Most of the 90's was awful thanks to the supermarket which luckily has gone because they couldn't afford it anymore :lol:

Please tell me you are kidding? You're not are you? :nono:
You can take off those rose tinted glasses now, that is of course unless they happen to look like Claire Peacock's from Corrie, which in that case we can all sit and have a good giggle. :rotfl:
40 good years, alan45 obviously didn't watch Corrie in the sixties then.

02-07-2005, 21:10
Or the seventies...or the eighties....or the nineties and even the naughties.
Do you realise Corrie was consistently beaten in the ratings by Crossroads in the 70's? Just like it was consistently beaten in the ratings by Eastenders in the 80's, 90's and early 00's.

I agree with that. I loved the Mad maya storyline, now it's just another yawn. How can I get excited about Tracey and Steve. I like Tracey when Karen was around with all the fights, but they were still quite boring. I hated Karen.
I am no longer in such a rush to watch corrie. I hate to miss e, but corrie. Not something I am desperate t see. i actually prefer to watch emmerdale right now to it.
i do not feel that corrie deserve to win best soap. They may at the NTA's as that still includes the Mad Maya story. But i hope to see at the Soap Awards the result being: Eastenders
I have jst compared ee and corrie storylines last week
Eastenders: Build up to the FIRE!!!!!!!
Corrie: The novel, the silly fight, charlie and shelley. YAWN!
Which one sounds better to you?
xxx
EastEnders! EE is sorting itself out, Corrie is getting worse by the episode.
People think I was never a fan but I used to love it and IMHO it's gone downhill, there were never panto dames etc and deliberate sitcom plots.
It was black and white pmsl :)
As were all programs in the sixties. Colour television was not around in the UK then.

Corrie :p

Unlike most of the good folk round here I was around in the sixties. During the sixties Corrie was thought to be groundbreaking televison for its day as EE was during the early eighties. Yes I can remember the first epsiodes of EE too. Fantastic stuff
I don't know how anyone can say Corrie's had 40 good years it's had atleast 3 or 4 bad patches which have lasted on average 2 to 3 years.

mad maya and richard hillman are the only good things to have come from corrie in 40 years
20 years of eastenders id neeed a whole thread to say what good stuff has come from it!

It's not been that bad. I used to love it but it's in the doldrums now.

i have never been that much of a fan to be quite honest, because its alwas tried to rival eastenders, and that is the ultimate tv show IMHO.
Corrie has set itself for a fall...2 years of "brillaince" every monday a new two part drama and so much crammed into two years, once it goes boring it will all go pearshaped big time!
bondboffin
Well with all due respect you're 16 love and the show has been running for 45 years now. It was better in the seventies and eighties than it is now.

bondboffinCrumbs, got a few years on you BB!!! :lol:
Corrie was actually watchable in the eighties, but now - cannot be bothered. And everyone seems to think that Corrie covers things first, like the gay kiss with Todd - what about Simon and Tony in Blackpool!!
Well I would disagree it was half decent when the characters were real. The problem is they KNOW they're good at humour now but they've just piled on the deliberate panto comedy plots and each one is basically the SAME.
One or two here and there is good but at the moment it's one after the other.

and colin and barry in eastenders years before that!!!
bondboffin
At the end of the day it was a good soap and has the potential to be again but right now it needs to stop piling on the panto.
Exactly, and the domestic abuse stuff - that was covered in Easties back when the social worker (Carmel was it??) and the bloke who played Chandler in The Bill covered it!!
The domestic abuse storyline between Mo and Trevor was IMO well written and acted - Just because EE did it does not mean that Corrie shouldnt do it. The ongoing abuse storyline between Charlie and Shelley is different and IMO it is also well written and acted and is as others have already commented -
i have never been that much of a fan to be quite honest, because its alwas tried to rival eastenders,
Sorry but you will find that Corrie was around for over 20yrs before EE hit our screens. So it cannot always have tried to rival EE. That would have been impossible. EE was the BBCs answer to Corrie which is rightly regarded as the first UK television soap.
I have to wonder why those of you (yes WQ, I mean you!) who clearly do not like Corrie, watch it all the time?
If you don't like it switch it off.

True but when EE came along and especially since the British Soap Awards came along and EE kept winning them Corrie have tried to rival them.

plus i suppose after how any many years of wathcing it i suppose you dont want to just switch it off, you owe them to at least keep wathcing
however what i feel is i should switch off until i hear it improves, as a loose in ratings will shwo coronation street that they need to improve... if we all keep wathcing then they wont know how we really feel
i hope eastenders wins best soap at the british televsion awards later on this years

Well it's not until October I think so you never know but I think it'll be next year before they're stable.

Well all I'll say is I watched Corrie years ago and loved it but I cannot identify with the programme anymore. I don't want to see it axed just yet because I want to see if it can turn itself around but ITV could go first with the way things currently stand :D

The latter two haven't been doing as well recently and are only on in series.. The Bill and their soaps are the only consistent things they have going for them.

but even so some people wouold watch the bill, they need to maximise their viewers and they do that by putting it on at times when there are boring documenaries on other channels

Well they should take a leaf out of Emmerdale's book. They don't potentially maximise their viewers when they pit themselves against EastEnders! Cheeky cows already have six episodes a week. Plus they don't even NEED to do 1 hour specials because they always drop the Sunday episode which just goes to prove that they want to pit themselves against other shows. Well EastEnders will show Emmerdale up when it's back on top. You mark my words because when EE is good, boy is it good :)
damn! i really wnated to watch that :lol:
NOTTT!!!!!! I've had better entertainment from peeling potatoes!!!!

What is the point? You don't like it - read a book or go for a walk or something!

No I don't give up on stuff just because it is going through a sticky patch.

There there dont put yourself through the obvious torture that you find Corrie to be. Press the off switch and go and do something interesting.

It took you long enough!Unlike 007 I liked EE before it went into freefall. He on the other hand never appears to have liked Corrie that my dear is the difference. Im glad I peservered with EE as it surely has improved.

Well I was a fan of Corrie for years so I won't be switching it off. I'm sticking with it. I'm sure it can improve. Steve Frost MIGHT be good.

I will have to agree to disagree with you on that one. Goodbye Mr Bond (Oh sorry I am supposed to tell you all my plans for world domination before I utter those words :) )
