Currently, the show is anything but strong with weak stories and uninteresting characters. Any spin-off at this point will mean Corrie will be even weaker and the new show won't have enough propulsion to take off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-29579109230375292642016-04-29T02:42:07.119+01:002016-04-29T02:42:07.119+01:00I really like the Billy the vicar spin-off - he co...I really like the Billy the vicar spin-off - he could become a crime fighter! :) In reality, they could have a spin-off that actually uses the majority of the cast who rarely get screen time because of the Platts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-1867629360716197442016-04-28T23:29:00.824+01:002016-04-28T23:29:00.824+01:00In my experience, spoilers rarely work.In my experience, spoilers rarely work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-46926455047022530582016-04-28T22:00:35.688+01:002016-04-28T22:00:35.688+01:00@ Anonymous 20:20 Love this idea!!@ Anonymous 20:20 Love this idea!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-43088784566001645472016-04-28T20:20:24.768+01:002016-04-28T20:20:24.768+01:00Rather than a spin off scripted show I would like ...Rather than a spin off scripted show I would like to see a reality show, behind the scenes making of.

There's no realistic way that any human being could survive being on Coronation Street 24/7. He or she has to go elsewhere sometimes. The fun of the spin-off would be to imagine where those other places are and what other characters they might involve.
