sophie is like a dog after a bone with maddie can she ever be friends with another female without turning them lesbian
The writers just want to focus on her lesbianism as the most interesting thing about this character. It always feels a bit contrived to me concerning this aspect of her personality.Quote:

I'm confused now - does Steve fancy Andrea or not? I was convinced he did, but he sounded genuine when he explained why he was jealous :hmm:
Michelle gets more and more unlikeable. I know it's partly the writing, but those scenes could be acted less viciously if that's what Kym Marsh wanted.
I'm not very interested in Tracy's love life :thumbsdow
The way Steve explained it I would say that he's jealous and worried about losing his close male bond friendship with Lloyd as something simiilar in the past happened with a male friend of his years ago.Quote:

But was he genuine when he said that, or does he really fancy Andrea? When he spoke to her and she nearly came out and told him she was into him, he put her off and told her they were just good friends. However, I thought his expression when she left was ambiguous, so I wasn't sure afterwards what it is he really feels.Quote:

His wide eyed deer caught in the headlights look seems to be his usual expression. But i never did take him as very believable, he's so cartoonish and such a buffoon. I do think that his character works though if you just consider he's there for comic relief and not much more. He has a purpose in tht sense.Quote:

In his private life he was suspended from Corrie for a year in the 90s for drug and alcohol problems. And more recently last year he reported his car had been stolen only to realize he had forgotten where he parked it. Typecasting?Quote:

I always remember young Steve as the naughty and young Andy as the goody twin?as youngster I mean?
And now I've used youngsters in a sentence I sound like my nan!!!??

(not a good sign) I do enjoy watching him though, especially his interaction with Lloyd. They're a good double act. I'd classify him as a competent comedic actor and I could imagine him doing comedic roles in general. Will the Corrie writers ever give him a chance at more dramatic scenes? Questionable as they know he's a long standing successful commodity. I think if he had any dramatic aspriations by now he would have gotten something outside of the show to explore and stretch his acting muscles but that never happened.Quote:

I'd classify him as a competent comedic actor and I could imagine him doing comedic roles in general. He's got good comedic timing; something that's hard to learn and usually is just a gift.

Fizz has been a pain in the behind since she got all righteous about the suicide and still they have her at it. She doesn't even seem like the same character. The writers have nominated her to be the voice crying in the wilderness and it doesn't even suit the nature of the character.Quote:

We'll Owen said don't turn the water off until I find the leak. But they could've turned it off at the start, and then back on for a few minutes for Owen?Quote:

Yes. She's too busy being in self righteous mode.Quote:

There's not many likeable characters in Corrie at the moment, something that I always used to say about Eastenders, and why I always preferred Corrie. The only characters I can think of off the top of my head that I truly like are Roy and Steve. Just about everyone else is all me, me, me :angry:
Tina and Peter are two characters that I used to enjoy, but they both get on my nerves now, and Peter positively makes my skin crawl. Rita and Dennis are both behaving badly towards each other. I've never liked Tracy or Rob anyway, so no change there.
I still choose to watch Corrie before EE (I always record them), but am wondering now if that's going to change.
End of rant :D
I've nearly destroyed my tv many a night by wanting to throw something at it.
I've always favored EE over Corrie because in general I like the dramatic and social issue treatments better along with the acting. Corrie for me is best when it utilizes it's comedic elements. For many people they need that comic relief. I don't particularly but do enjoy Corrie when it's in that mode.

Yes, comedy has been sorely lacking recently.Quote:

Both soaps suffer from the transplant issue. They treat us like idiots.:thumbsdowQuote:

And why did both Fiz and Anna stay behind in the search for Roy? Was it really necessary that they both be there? Surely it would have been better if one of them had joined the search, or even both since they've got mobiles.
Gloria was rather pleased that Dennis had been kicked out :thumbsdow
dreadful tonight, dennis not seeing what a witch gloria is being rita should lamp her one and don't get started on tina tramp and peter horndog
the breaking bad jokes and references with emily were lame
only postive is that i like steph
Found it hard to watch Rita suffering and gloria gloating i hope Dennis does go off with Gloria as rita is too good for him!
I bet Tina's killer is Peter. He does not give a toss. She is happy to be the other woman for now. Shame on her.
