What has happened to Corry recently? Yes, it still deals with some hard hitting story lines like the teenage pregnancy recently, but at times it borders on a farce. It is becoming more and more like a Carry On movie, and Barbara Windsor is in Eastenders! As soon as Blanche (Deirdre's mother) appears in a scene, she seems ... Read the complete review

Coronation St. is the longest running TV soap. It will be 40 years old next month, and it is quite amazing that it still attracts around 18 million viewers an episode, and is very often top of the TV ratings charts. The soap is based around a fictional terraced street in Weatherfied, near Manchester (it is based on the real town of ... Read the complete review

I tend to go on and off Corrie but I must say the program has been really rivetting recently. What excellent storylines we have been treated to; Martin's infidelity, Sarah LOO's pregnancy, the Kevin / Alison saga, the Mike, Linda, Mark love triangle. More recently Gwen's shenannigans, the break ins and Mike's ... Read the complete review

This soap started out in black and white, acted live, and is still going strong now. Regularly ahead in the ratings, this soap is reknown for its strong female roles, even people who have never watched corrie have heard of Ena Sharples and Bet Lynch. These characters are now part of our national culture, along with Hilda Ogden and her ... Read the complete review

out of the soaps this has to be my favourite, because of the realism to true life, it has events that happen in the whole country all packed into one road. my favourite recent storyline has been the pregnancy at the platts house and how that was stirred in with Martin's affair, and the feeling you get, "will martin leave ...

I think Coronation Street is the best soap on tv...the storylines are excellent. The scriptwriters are coming up with some marvelous stories..the shop-aholic, moneyspending, lying lady friend of Jim Macdonald was excellent,mind you,when Jim set fire to all the furniture in the street I did think that was taking this a bit far. ...

Being male I obviously don’t watch Coronation Street, but if I accidentally saw an episode there is something that would really bug me. The Tardis like qualities of the Rovers Return are amazing. The pub is basically 2 terraced houses knocked into one .It has a downstairs lounge kitchen and hallway at the rear therefore ... Read the complete review

The street have been dishing out some brilliant storylines lately, Alisons pregnancy was handled in a brilliant, yet caring and considerate way, it also informed viewers about the signs of pre-eclampsia, which I thought was brilliant, I don't think this has ever been done before, even though the signs still occur in a number of ...

I bet you didn't know that the trumpet player who played the Coronation St theme tune opted to receive a one of fee of £20 and no royalties for the recording. How gutted must he be. Apparently, he thought the show would never come to anything. It's understandable. After all what is Coronation Street? It's a ... Read the complete review

Hard to believe that Coronation Street has been around for 40 years. Almost as long as Cliff Richard and almost as unwelcome! It's not that I find it totally offensive. Far from it. it's just that I wish the makers would decide whether it's a comedy or a drama because i'm not certain. As a comedy it bears all the ... Read the complete review

For goodness sake! Okay I can believe the teenage pregnancy and maybe the killing of Tony, Natalies son and how she never knew he was dead and how they just so happen to find him in the buidling site....Anyway, I had to laugh at Jim McDufus burning his worldy goods in the street. Yes that would really happen wouldn't it? And the ... Read the complete review

Teenage pregnancy, bereavement, adultery, murder trials, burning furniture . . .I know I wouldn't want to live in Coronation Street. This is exactly the sort of stuff that makes CSt compulsive viewing. I mean I remember the days when the most exciting thing to happen in the average episode was somebody spilling Ken Barlow's ...

Corrie has done it again. Excellent storylines, thought provoking scenes the list goes on and on. The end scene when Kevin and Alison had just lost their baby was very moving and thoughtfully produced. The ongoing saga with Martin, Gail, Sarah Lou, and Rebecca has been gripping compulsive viewing. The latest twist sees Jim McDonald ... Read the complete review

I never thought I would watch Coronation Street, but it is becoming more like Eastenders with teenage mum's, tragic deaths, adulterous relationships and family problems. The standard of acting has increased, and the plots have become more realistic. Gail, mother of Sarah Louise the teenage mother has just found out her ... Read the complete review
