Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dennis tanner]

I wanted to smack Tracy's silly face tonight.

Every time I see her actually

i always think when posters say the same ole chestnut about ee being depressing, more often than not are not regular viewers of the southern soap! they are more likely to be what i would call a "dipper"

I watch EE all the time and I know it's true. It's depressing or in your face attempts at humour

Just because you think it's an "ole" chestnut does not mean it isn't true. IMHO it's universally accepted that Deadenders is the most depressing of the three major soaps.

Tis true

yeap its only my view and whos to say im right? i enjoy the three main soaps and watch them often, although it can be a bit tricky with them being on so much, particularly the northern soaps. i personally don't find ee depressing. i think ee main problem is when its good its simply the best, but its not consistant and this can let it down from time to time. corrie has not been on top of its game for a while, which is a shame because i do miss the brilliant lighter side of the street. i do miss blanche. ee recently has had some excellent lighter touches,love tameka empson who plays kim, in one ep when she was gettin ready to go on the pull with kat and she asked patrick and denise what dress to choose from the yellow or blue:
"moira stuart on a sunny day or kate middelton , moira or queen kate." delivered brillantly and so funny. love the family unit of patrick, denise and kim. also the pairing of dot, rose and cora, walfords answer to the golden girls. bk certainly got the casting right when he got the amazing talented ann mitchell to play cora cross. most recently when pat had died and dot came round to see if there was anything she could do. the scene with dot saying she was going to give frank a little rub was so funny, as was tiffany when she turned to michael after morgan wanted a hugg and said 'is that the best you can do, you need help.' michaels face was a picture. the comedy is subtle in ee and has a lot to do with the poaching of former corrie script writer daran little who now writes for its southern rival. i think corrie does miss daran. a brilliant writer.

That Kim is far too OTT and I have never seen gentle subtle humour in EE

as i said its only my view, again we will have to beg to differ.

There is no need for either of us to beg

well they do say misery loves company

Is that why you watch it?

And you still watch all the tine

I have watched EE for many years and try not to miss an episode. Occasionally there are some very good episodes and if you don't watch them all you might miss the good ones. Although EE is not my favourite soap it does offer something different.

My last words about EE in this Corrie thread

Why is Stella throwing Tracey a hen do?

[Dennis tanner]

Yes. There are pictures on the ITV Corrie site
