To ask when it will be safe to watch Coronation Street again?

[ferriswheel]

When will the awful kidnap story be over? And that Kylie nonsense be finished? I generally love Corrie but these stories have nearly tipped me over the edge.

When will it be safe to tune back in?

[LineysRun]

About 2049

[HopefullyAnonymous]

I'm not watching til Andy is free. It's beyond ridiculous. I know it's not real, but still. Phelan just makes me feel angry inside!

[JustPutSomeGlitterOnIt]

Same. I just can't bear it. My man keeps patronisingly reminding me 'it's not real' but it's just so, so unpleasant.

[CoughLaughFart]

Why is Billy suddenly a thief? Makes no sense.

[MusicToMyEars800]

We are all moaning about the same stuff on the Corrie thread
It is just ridiculous at the mo.

[ferriswheel]

Oh, I thought the Corrie thread was just too big to read and catch up with you all.

I liked Phelan but that bloody cellar is beyond grim. And as for the vicar being a bad guy, its just too depressing for words.

I seriously used to love Corrie but since I got Netflix I really can imagining just ditching it. It is so, so tedious.

[FlossNightingale]

Billy's a thief?

[healthyheart]

And poor David's kids must be sooooo mixed up ....

[MusicToMyEars800]

I feel sorry for David's kids, And for the kids that never seem to be home with their parents.

OP, there's a new thread, It's only 4-5 pages long so would be easy to read through

[Andrewofgg]

Free the Weatherfield One!

[ferriswheel]

Thanks, I'll go and have a look. Am watching Doc Foster on Netflix now rather than Corrie. I feel a bit sad its not a good watch anymore, well for me anyway.

[stella23]

I have up with Corrie a few years ago and have what he Netflix's ever since. Really couldn't imagine that I'd ever stop watching but i really don't miss it

[Lucisky]

Gave up on corrie a couple of years ago when they (yet again) used cancer as a story line(fizz s kid). I don't find cancer entertaining, having lost friends and family to it, so I stopped watching, after 30 years of loyalty. And I have never missed it either.

[ferriswheel]

Lucisky I'm sorry to hear that.

And yes I agree, I realise I miss weeks of those stories out too.

Yeah, I'd actually buy myself back a fair bit of time if I stopped watching it. It used to be a firm favorite.

[ferriswheel]

Actually that means the only thing I watch on normal tele is Cold Feet, but surely that will be on Netflix soon enough too.

[MusicToMyEars800]

Doctor Foster was good for the first series, the second series was just craaazzy
I don't have Netflix, but am really considering getting it in the future.

Corrie has gotten stupid, but I watch anyway as there's normally nothing else to watch, I didn't watch it for years.

[HarrietKettleWasHere]

Rana is gay now too. The gay storyline has been done to death in Corrie!

[MusicToMyEars800]

It has Harriet.
I know a few storylines that are coming up, seem ok, so will watch for those ones.

[TurquoiseShine]

I feel similarly Lucisky.

Stopped watching Eastenders for various reasons at the moment. Many scenes would not be out of place on a horror movie. The Girl in a Prom Dress being set alight (shades of Carrie). Its not engaging. Just sensationalist and depressing. I think at the moment they are filming someone having a mental breakdown even though she has loads of support just like in real life.

[TurquoiseShine]

^I'm not sure exactly, as I stopped watching in 2 weeks ago.

Finally gave into Netflix.

But really, just want a half an hour of not-too-heavy, but engaging TV to relax in the evening.

Is that too much to ask ?!

[Bluelonerose]

I really want to punch phelan in the face he is so irritating and "faking a car crash" how the fuck could you even do that??

[charmedrose]

The cellar scenes have actually made me stop watching. Are you listening Corrie scriptwriters?? They are depressing to watch and also beyond ridiculous.

[Katedotness1963]

Oh god! Is Rosie back? I haven't watched since David's sister with the mouthy, back chatting, sneering daughter came back. I could not watch her scenes. Tina? No. What was her name?

[Giraffey1]

I know it's not real and it's a soap, but the storylines at the moment leave me shaking my head. Ridiculous. Not entertaining any more, just frustrating.
