Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Ii think you have dignified the situation with
a lot more thought and feeling than the
writers.

Thanks, I'll take that compliment even though you strongly disagree with me.

Let's just say I identify with Alya's turmoil because I know the feeling, and know others who've felt similarly. It can easily lead into a downward spiral and all kinds of self-destructive behaviour which is later deeply regretted (I hasten to add I'm not talking criminal behaviour here).

I have to say I'm not quite so convinced by the acting though!

I did try to add another bit on to my post-
but it wont let you edit again once you've
done it once- so.gave up.

All I was going to say was-
S Blackburn has admitted that the family
has not had many storylines in first year
and that would now be corrected!! And it
would be very dramatic!! I think thats the
driver- not do the stories suit the characters
and more importantly can they act their
part in them.

I think its gone a bit OTT and not thought
through. I think nearly everyone has had
times in their life when they despaired
and did something really stupid and out
of character as a result. Because that is
real- no need for acting.

Here it all seems contrived. But no doubt
another brainwave will emerge and this
will be concluded. I think when they do
this type of story poorly - it devalues
the problems real people have and can
re-inforce prejudices.

Maybe Graig Charles was filming Red Dwarf. They gave him time off for Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. I think actor who plays Steve yas been ill so another rushed story to cover up.

I do agree plot driven storylines aren't usually a good idea.

To me, Alya's downward spiral's been believable so far because her father's sudden and gruesome death has understandably shocked her to the core. Since her behaviour's supposed to be out of character I haven't found it jarring - yet. We'll have to see what happens next...

By the way MM, I often edit my posts multiple times (even days later sometimes) so I'm not sure why you're having problems doing so.

Thankyou-Ill persevere more if I want to re-edit.
It must just be a natural talent!
