The plots are unbelieable, silly and contrived. The character called Charlie has no credibility. I switch it off now. It has bored the a*se of me for the last time.

Coronation Street has only gone boring once, and permanently. That was when Violet Carson (Ena Sharples) died.
The first episodes were live TV, repeats were re-acted live the same week! This was normal at the time. Real actors were used, who were capable of playing other people than themselves. It had an edge and a tension to it that was quickly lost as recorded TV came in and acting went out.
So today we've got soaps that contain characters who are really little more than people you would meet in the pub.
I think that you can get the videos of the early Coro episodes. Well worth watching, and you won't get bored!

Hasn't it always been a crap show? I hate English TV. SO BORING! Especially Eastenders. You're right about Coronation Street, try something on Hallmark/National Geographic/Discovery. Now THEY'RE great. xx

Like all soaps it is just going through a bad phase. It will liven up again soon. I still prefer it to Emmerdale and Eastenders and I just got my friend in the US hooked too. (i send her dvds) Sad isn't it ?

Gone boring again? You imply that it was ever not boring.

You philistine. I have based my whole life ethic on Ken and Deidre and there's nothing wrong with me, I say, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME, Ashley lad.
