Gail should give it a rest, particularly as when she was expecting Sarah she didn't know who the father was! :nono:

Surely the fire brigade and police who would have turned up too would have evacuated all the other houses on Coronation Street and all the people would have had to be a lot further away than standing outside a burning house :wall:
i may be the only one, but i'm finding the current storyline in corrie a bit ott. i really hope with stuart blackburn taking over as producer will see corrie go back to basics, cut out the stunts and the competition with ee. i want storylines character lead and long for the days when the most exciting thing was norris opening a pack of rich tea and dunking them in his tetley with mary.
seriously though it wouldnt do any harm for corrie to look at the aussie soap neighbours and see how it can be done. many of you may scoff at such a thought but they have a very small cast, but the story lines revolve aroung the characters, with out fires, explosions and murders etc. it works very well and i hope corrie takes this lead.
I wouldn't scoff at Corrie being compared to Neighbours, as I'm a fan of the latter. To be fair, though, Neighbours does have big stunts occasionally - in the next few weeks there's going to one, in fact.
I do agree with the gist of your post, though. I've quite enjoyed the fire at the Rovers, and I think Corrie's in great shape in general, but it does suffer from over-sensationalising every story - the Tyrone and Kirsty storyline, for example.
I'd like more character-led storylines, but fear this is the last thing we'll get with Stuart Blackburn taking over - after what I've heard he did to Emmerdale.

I don't like the over use of certain characters especially lately Stella
So the fire may have damaged St. Ella's vocal chords. She might come out of hospital speaking with a London accent. Wait.............................................. ..................... lol
paul is more upset over toni than his wife dying
Because he thinks he's responsible.
It was a bit"convenient" that Karl stayed in hospital so long with his bandaged hand but otherwise well enough to strut round like he owned the place. He'd have been turfed out long ago in real life. He's playing a pretty good Angel of Death, though!
