Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Why didn't Michael who plays Kevin remember the Alison and Jake storyline when reading the scripts, he could have then mentioned it to Stuart or the writers, I agree very bad omission by the show

Maybe he just doesn't care enough to give his character and storylines much thought (or to mention any inconsistencies even if he notices them). I'm not criticising him because I think after you've been playing the same character for decades it's probably inevitable your interest will flag at times.

Corrie do employ people to check scripts for inaccuracies so I'd blame them. To be honest though I'm a bit embarassed to confess that I'm not overly bothered by the mistake as I don't remember that storyline very well.

Im not sure why Michael didnt remember /
didnt say- it could well be for the reasons
you say.The TV company have been supportive
of him in the last couple of years and he
didnt want to rock the boat?

As there have been 3 similar events in a
very small street including Jack & Bethany
- perhaps it was a form of convenient
selective amnesia to disguise the dearth
of new storylines by repeating old ones!
Rather than lack of checking??

Unfortunately for Corrie enough viewers
have noticed and commented directly
to the programme to necessiate an
apology. So viewers not as dim as supposed.
Dont think.they are generally - either notice
but are apathetic or switch off.!

From what I remember about Alisons
final scene it was well done- very busy
road/lots of noise and quite dramatic.

It all shows that Corrie these days is filmed with very tight busy schedule which can be stressful at times-so I can fully understand that with such a long history that Corrie has, things get forgotten. They offered an apology, enough for me-let's move on..not a big deal.(I didn't even notice..;) )

it shows that the show is on a downfall, big blunder to forget it happened in 2000 not longer

Yes - Corrie is the author of its own downfall.
I know they have to sell the programme and
the storylines and a lot of life is smoke &
mirrors.

BUT if they didnt oversell and use completely
un realistic language - viewers wouldnt be
so critical and some possibly wouldn't
remember previous versions of same story
on same soap.
Unique/ground -breaking/ never before/
actors wonderful in such a role /usually
means its been done to death before.
This time tho the story& acting will be
worse!!!
