Current Episode Discussion- III

[Richie_lecturer]

The sensantional route the show is heading down has damaged the show so much I can't see it ever recovering from it fully.

Apart from Ashley/Claire/Casey, what else could be described as 'sensational' or 'unrealistic' right now in Corrie?

I can't see it ever recovering from it fully.

What makes you think that, once you've answered the above point? What do you mean by "recovering"?

Ratings mean jack its whats on screen that matters.

His name isn't Jack. It's Alan.

He scared Builder Boy Jason so much I expected to see a puddle of water on the roof.

That's what guttering is for....

I do not need the ratings to prove how good Corrie is at the moment they just confirm what is obvious. Its still Britains most popular soap. If its getting so many viewers during its present lull then once the promisede winter storylines kick in then it should be hitting well over 10 million.

Please do not insult me when you reply to my posts.

Well it has to be said that EE is Britians most watched soap as it gets up to 2 million extra on a Sunday and anything from half a million to full million each night at 10pm on Three.

Those facts speak for themselves.

If the people on here want to convince themselves Corrie is great let them but I and the critics know otherwise.

Corrie is now seen as the new Brookside with the press. Some are losing respect for it.

For a programme thats ''in a lull'' its doing well in the ratings

Last Night

ITV1 7:30pm Corrie 9.3 million 45.2%
BBC One Eastenders 8:00pm 8.3 million 38.2%
ITV1 8:30pm Corrie 9.2 million 42%

EE when it was crap in 2003 was getting 14 million an episode and managed to get 17 For Den's return.

Sorry I thought ratings didnt matter. Now apparently they do

You and the critics are experts then and I suppose we should all bow to your superior knowledge

Maybe in the press that you read. However 9.8 million people on Monday night disagreed,

Corrie has been on our screens for 46 years and shows absolutely NO signs of going the way Brookie went.


I really dont know why you bother continuously returning on here with the same attitude.

That's not the way it works. As you should know, ITV plc is a business and has to let advertisers know the facts. If it didn't advertisers would desert the network in revolt. Imagine if I said my business provided 9" nails, when in actual fact we only do 6". I would be in deep doo. But I thought you didn't care about ratings.

If the people on here want to convince themselves Corrie is great let them but I and the critics know otherwise.

So really you want to send us back several hundred years and suppress people's opinions, and only listen to the ones you agree with. I think you will find people are free to give any view on the show right now. Democracy shall not be destroyed, at least not on this forum.

Who says that? And for those that do, I'd like to look at the context of the reviews.

Quite frankly, alan & Richie, I don't know why you bother with Mr KarlD. It's not worth it.

When I proved him wrong about something he was saying on the EE board he disappeared for a week and has, in fact, never come back to the EE board, not even to apologise to me for some of his remarks.

Just let him stew in his own ratings.

Karl D is not a he but a well known SHE.

I agree with you the viewing figures speak volumes about the quality of Corrie at tthe minute and judging by the upcoming storylines its just going to get better

Guy... come on, play nice. I agree ratings don't mean anything, they can be adjusted to suit the program but I also agree that everyone opinion is valid. Yes you can challenge it but please don't knock anyone opinion. I wish this Corrie V EE (my soap is better than your) would stop.
If you want to says something good or bad about a soap that is fine but please no personal comments about anyone on this site. Anyone caught doing it in the future, will be banned. You all have been warned.
