Coronation street cringe

[Newbabynewhouse]

Been watching corrie for 20 odd years since i was a kid! Don't watch any other soaps... recently it seems to have gone so cringey 🤢 anyone agree? Wondering if they have changed the team who writes the lines..

It's been cringey for a number of years now. It used to be excellent.

Dunno OP, I stopped watching about four or five years ago. I can't remember exactly when, it was near the start of the 'Geoff and Yasmeen coercive control' storyline.

YANBU. I’m sick of hearing about Sarah talking about her and Adams energetic shags. FFS love you’re what 35. You’re not a 17 year old with your first boyfriend.
Also who would say that in front of their whole family, and That is coming from someone who believe me is no prude. I just think there’s a time and place.

I used to watch the Corrie reruns at the weekend years ago, but ITV started showing them with someone signing in the corner all the time and I stopped. I think having signed programs is great for people who need it, but I just find it distracting. I never really got back into it. The child actors at the time were pretty dire too, which didn’t help.

I stopped watching 5-6 years ago. There seemed to be a murder every other week and Steve McDonald was the only funny character left.

Tyrones fight with whats his name on xmas day..what was that.. and jennys fling with the rugby guy who has less personality than a pea 😑

I only watch classic Corrie ,current Corrie is just so ridiculous .

Its rubbish. Where has Daniel disappeared to. And that awful Kelly creature. Are we meant to feel sorry for her.

I'm fed up with Corrie. Obscure, 'bolt on, bolt off' characters i.e. Geoff's mum and her birthday cake storyline. Yes I realise it was meant to be hilariously awful to everyone but her.

I get it that the Tyrone and Fiz situation is a study in what happens when a living together arrangement goes awry.

Sarah and Adam, total cringe fest from the start.

It's always been mega cheesey with terrible acting. I thought that was the appeal haha

Stopped watching it years ago when every single episode had blatant references to sex.

It’s awful! It’s completely cringeworthy. Such a shame!

i love it !

PC plod aka Craig, always there for any crime committed, be it theft or murder!!

The difference in Classic Corrie to what we are served up today is indeed cringe inducing, I have watched it all my life, the quality of the writing and the characters compared to Classic is shocking. I’m convinced the writers are only on work experience they have no idea how to develop characters, plot lines, interactions between characters, characters have complete personality transplants, particularly middle aged women, Gail and Sally who used to be strong northern women and are now bumbling fools to be laughed at, and worst of all continuity, past storylines are completely forgotten, for example Maria mocking Sally for being in prison, Maria was in prison herself for fraud! As a viewer it’s infuriating. Part of Corrie’s charm was the day today stuff, now it’s shock value and the ‘issue’ of the day. I still watch though because it’s been part of my life forever, used to watch it with my late mum so I do hold a candle for it but hate how far it’s fallen in quality.

I think most of the soaps have been treading water for the last couple of years with all the uncertainty

No it hasn't.

Corrie has turned exceptionally cheesy. The other day there was some stupid music playing and characters dancing in the street. Whoever is producing now needs stop.

This year's Christmas day episode was shockingly bad. I love Corrie and have watched it for years. The writers they have now are really letting the show down. The storylines are not followed through. Like Gary being responsible for Rana's death and murdering Rick. I'll stick with it though because I've been watching it for as long as I can remember!

I’ve only recently started re-watching Corrie and I’m loving it! One question, though: what happened to Bethany, Sarah-Lou’s DD?

She's gone to Italy.

I started watching back in the 1970s and stopped about 3 years ago and I no longer liked it - the whole tempo of the programme had changed, as had the level of sensationalism.

So I found refuge in Classic Coronation Street

Same here, gave up about a year ago as the storylines were so far fetched and went on way too long. Never looked back... bit sad as probably been watching it for 45 years on and off.

I’ve been watching Corrie for years but have to admit the whole Barlow/platt Christmas thing was ridiculous. As is Sarah and adams baby making plans…..seriously would you announce to everyone, every time you needed to go for a shag! Also why has Sarah become so ditzy all of a sudden?

Daniel is still there, just didn’t turn up for the Christmas dinner!

But having said that I’ll still continue to watch it though!
