Is it not time that our Corrie lightened up a bit. These stories are so depressing and there is enough going on n the world at the moment. As a lifelong viewer, and I mean from the first episode it is becoming harder and harder to switch on these days. So exasperating, we wait in vain for a little bit of comedic relief, but nothing. Dark deep story lines. Come on scriptwriters show us some humour somewhere.
ReplyDeleteJennyMac, I couldn't agree more. I am a Canadian viewer and am suffering through 4 episodes in a row with Debbie and Kevin locked in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteA US viewer that agrees as well. Enough of this doom and gloom continuously. This isn't EastEnders!
