Steve and Tracy
You know those couples who stay together out of convenience rather than actual love? Well, that’s the feeling I get with these two. I love them both individually, but together not so much. Sure, they bring the laughs, but for me it sometimes borders on slapstick. I’m worried that with Steve, Tracy’s losing her edge. She needs a bad boy, someone who’ll bring out her dark side. Personally I think her best match was Rob Donovan. They were a lot of fun together. A true Bonnie and Clyde with a compelling love story that met its tragic end when Rob got banged up for bludgeoning barmaid Tina McIntyre to death. But nothing’s off bounds in the land of Corrie, surely the powers that be could find a way to bring Rob back for our Tracyluv?
Having said that, I’m starting to warm to the family dynamic of Steve, Tracy, Amy and Emma. So if the writers have decided it’s Steve and Tracy for the long haul, then I hope they commit to it this time and stop having them cheat on each other every five minutes because it’s so repetitive, predictable, and only serves to undermine and cheapen their relationship to the point I no longer care about it.
Carla and Peter
The saying you can’t help who you love certainly rings true for Carla Connor where Peter Barlow is concerned. Often referred to as the Burton and Taylor of the street, this iconic duo are the car crash you can’t look away from. They’re bad for each other, yes, but there’s also something so right about them to the point where you can’t imagine them being with anyone else. Underneath all the self- destruction is a powerful love, and I do believe they’re soulmates.
Okay, I’ll admit it, I’m a Carla and Peter fan.
Lately they’ve been a bit too quiet for my liking. Come on, Corrie, these two are all about the passion and drama! They’re an all or nothing kind of couple, not background fodder! I’m beginning to wonder what the point of putting them back together was because so far it’s been very dull -- and that’s not something I ever thought I’d say about this pair!
I’ll be posting a short piece on 2-3 couples every week, so join me next time when I unpick the current Platt romances!
