Resolution 1
Carla and Roy are the best thing about Corrie right now. It
is beautiful to see two people who are not related and not lovers, yet have
enormous love and respect for each other. Don’t make the relationship smooth
running, let’s have plenty of conflict (in fairness, Carla’s return has started
well) and writers, please accentuate how both need each other and let us witness
true altruism at work.
Resolution 2
Wrap up quickly the Chesney, Daniel, Sinead love triangle. There
is hope this may happen as it is rumoured that Carla and Daniel (!) will have a
passionate love affair, though make it brief please as long term it doesn’t bode
well. Peter, Daniel, maybe Adam too? That is surely enough Barlow for any woman.
Ken next? Sorry, sorry, shouldn’t even have mentioned it…
Resolution 3
And so to Fiz – Jennie McAlpine is a great actor but she is
being desperately under-used. Also, her current life has no joy in it. Give the
woman a break. If she’s not berating Tyrone for overspending or staying longer
than his allotted half hour in The Rovers, she’s comforting her brother,
Chesney. She should lighten up and act her age. How can she be so ground down?
She appears to live the life of a middle aged person in the 1950s rather than someone
2017 in her thirties. Yes, she has responsibilities but that doesn’t mean that
you should give up and become a shrew.
Resolution 4
When the wonderful Steph comes back, give her plenty of air
time. She is a consummate actor and as yet, her talent has not been fully employed.
Maybe she could be a woman on a mission, with a burning ambition. Give her some
fun too and please do not immediately link her with a love interest or make her
pregnant. Bring in her brother, Luke and let them have an argument over some
past/present family difficulty, where brother resents sister and vice versa.
That would make for good viewing. It would also mirror aspects of real life
sibling relationships.
Resolution 5
And now for a general plea in the new year. Please resolve
to have more conversations, perhaps between people you wouldn’t ordinarily put
together. Let’s have more humour, more misunderstandings, more gossip. Please
resolve to have fewer really dramatic moments. No more falling off cliffs, no
more murders, no more crazy coincidences when discoveries that someone else contributed
to a death over a decade ago and by utter and complete chance landed in
Weatherfield, a small town by anyone’s measure, which just happens to be where
the relatives of the dead person abide.
A
heartfelt thank you!
Happy 2018 to all wonderful Coronation Street Blog readers
