Advantages: Funny

Disadvantages: Addictive

I grew up in a house where my mother didnt really bother watching any TV other than soap operas! One of my earliest TV memories probably involves Hilda Ogden and Bet Lynch!

At 32 years old i still tune in every night episode and just cant quite stop myself. I wouldnt say i particulary love it, more that i just cant quite find it within myself to turn it off!

It does have some fantastic characters both past and present, some of my favorites being people like the Duckworths and more recently Graham and Kirk etc - they are always funny to watch!

Im a believer that for soaps to be amongst the better ones, the comedy element is the key, and this is where Corrie tops the bill! It manages the balance between the more depressing elements of daily life in weatherfield, without it just becoming a heavy half hour of doom and gloom like some other soaps!

If im honest i will always moan about Corrie in certain ways simply because im slightly annoyed at myself for allowing it to control part of my week, but if you are going to watch any soap, this is the one that i would recommend!

Summary: If you are going to watch a soap, watch Corrie!
