You know what, I am tired of needy Cathy and her ongoing problems. I thought she was going to be a support for Roy, she is just a drain.
Most unlikable character and a real waste of screen time.
Yes, must say I agree with the above two comments. Weird style of acting too.
Won't be watching Callum/Bethany/Sarah, it'll be the mute button for me.
And oh, I am so looking forward to Michael realising what a mean, spiteful bitch Eileen really is.
And Alya, potentially pregnant? Come on writers, surely you can do better than to fall back on that old chestnut!
There are a lot of us complaining about Corrie atm and I, for one, don't watch as much as I used to. You can easily pick up the story after one or two missed episodes. However, the viewing figures don't seem to reflect this and I wonder just how accurate the BARB statistics are. If I've got this right, it doesn't make any difference whatsoever if I stop watching Corrie but the BARB panel continue to watch. Presumably, you know if you're on the panel so maybe you feel obliged to watch more tv than you would if you weren't, a bit like the Gogglebox families. Anyone know more about this?
I used to be married to a hoarder. I wish a pile of boxes had fallen on him.
I like Melanie Hill and think her acting in this role is spot on. What I don't like is the way, once again, a new character is introduced, a major issue is quickly revealed and a front burner story erupts, all while older characters we know and love are simmering away in the back. If I ran the zoo, the stupid shenanigans at the allotment (has anyone been there lately, must be pretty overgrown by now) would have been replaced with Roy sans Sharif saying hello to his new gardening neighbor. A shared flask of tea or two, some commonality, and there's a friendship. Over time, instead of awkwardly sneaking away, slowly reveal Cathy's issues and get her to the virtually unused community center for assistance. We coulda had a likable, believable new character, a raison d'être for the community center, and fulfillment and another connection for grieving Yasmeen. Oh well.
Great comment Abby!
I am not really digging this Cathy character. She comes with too much baggage and her personality is a snoozefest. I am not feeling her connection at all. It seems too forced and she doesn't really fit in.
Oh, puhleeeeze!! Another pregnancy (scare or real) for a character who has barely had sex, bringing up another "who's the daddy?"
Haven't the writers got more imagination than that? This story has been done to death! Enough, already.
