I just stopped watching it... about 2 years ago. I watched a bit last week actually and it was like I hadn’t missed anything.

Gave up about 20 years ago. The acting is woeful and I found the storylines pathetic.
Too much great drama about now which has a beginning a middle and a conclusion, to allow time for me to watch soap crap.

Weird that someone watches a TV show, don't like it, and the first thing they do is go on a football message board to comment on it!

Never seen it since Minnie Caldwell popped her clogs! (But I have inadvertently caught some of Eastenders here and there and that's absolute and utter garbage too. There's SOME excellent actors there trotting out totally hackneyed, puerile and embarrassing scripts!)

From what I remember it' was the best of the main three. Corrie seemed to steer away from the 'gay, black, crippled tokenism' that the others embarrassed themselves with.

Do the men in the Rovers still go for a slash in Ken Barlow's house?

I know what he's doing, but would you not find it a little strange if you were reading the TV Times message board and there was a post about Hendrick being played out of position, and Wood always being offside?

All soaps are going to go at some point. Very few people watch it compared to years gone buy. I don’t know many under the age of 30 that watch any soaps. In fact I don’t know many under the age of 60.


They need to make it more interactive. They should have a soap where you as the viewer can have a say on the story line. Like the Netflix bandersnatch programme. Might be more interesting if you could get Ken Barlow to bludgeon everyone to death with Haley’s manhood

Not sat down to watch a soap since the 80s but Mrs Trevor watches the big 3. Because of this I catch the odd minute and they are dreadful. The big plus Corrie had was humour but that seems to have gone now. It is all just bad news and drama. Rubbish basically.

I record Corrie out of habit and then flick through most scenes and still know what's happened. Normally takes 25 minutes to watch 2 episodes, including adverts. I've always preferred Eastenders.

I haven’t seen it or the other two so called big soaps since I divorced my wife the two go hand in hand in that I am now 2 stone lighter (I now go for a bike ride or run when these shows would be on instead of sitting on my fat a$$) and a 100000X happier as a person. I found that every time you watched them you became depressed with the constant s**t storylines and my ex constantly moaning!!!!!

Saw a half episode of easterners and a full Corrie one about 4 /5 months back . And while it’s important to reflect a racial mix on tv , I found that there seemed to be a ridiculous overdoing of gay /lesbian characters , I genuinely thought it was a “ gay special “ ( perhaps it was?) gay barman gay vicar /priest and more . Though seems that in modern tv ( bbc /itv) virtually has to have multiple gay story lines . It’s no wonder people flick to Amazon /net flix/sky etc who can make drama without making homosexuality the core of all storylines
