Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[lizann]

OMG what a couple of pitiful episodes last night. The dramatic scenes by serial moaner Samia Smith were completely overshadowed by the idiotic storyline involving the pantomime Dame Mark/Marcia and him/her sticking his/her face in a conveniently situated cream cake. Pure slapstick. As if the Gerbil wouldnt have known the difference between foundation cream and dairy cream. Then in another scene reminiscent of a piss poor seventies comedy the door handle comes off in his/her hand. This was so cringeingly bad that I felt sorry for all involved.

The we had the equally embarrassing scenes between Stella and Leeanne. I had thought that there could be noting worse than her dodgy accent and poor acting. I was wrong. Her attempt at singing Row Your Boat was worse than an accent which not only changes between scenes but even changes mid sentence.

How pitiful was the Gerbil when working in the Bistro last night.

Get rid of these idiotic storylines NOW if Corrie is to have any hope of picking up any awards at all.

The Gerbil is not funny nor is Markia and Audrey

I miss Blanche

The thing I don't get is one minute the Corrie writers are treating the Marc/Marcia storyline as a serious topic, the next they're treating it as a something to poke fun at.

i think that's the problem i have with it, they don't seem to have established the right tone for it and that's part of what makes it a bad storyline.

I'm loving Julie and Brian together - they were hilarious last night. I hope she hasn't scared him off for good...

[Chloe O'brien]

Julie is mental we just knew she was going to get hammered last night. I hope Corrie keep the comedy between these two when they do finally get together and not rip them apart with affairs.

I agree. They have potential as a great fun couple!

[Perdita]

Spoiler:

They are setting up shop together, so they will become a steady couple

I wish Lloyd would grow a pair and kick out not only the obnoxious Chris (who only looks at somebody if he's about to punch them) but also the dreadful Cheryl (who thinks loyalty is a drink served in Roy's cafe) and their hatefully spoiled brat Russ. A quick and horrible death for Chris would be my second preference, followed swiftly by Lloyds eviction of the aforementioned gruesome twosome!

I couldn't agree more, Brucie.

Sylvia's outrageous (but hilarious) treatment of Roy's customers has been a real treat to watch. Corrie back on form!
