My problem is that David was the victim. Therefore another heavy storyline involving Gail and her family. I have never been a fan of David or Gail so it is hard for me to sympathize. I find the character of Gail incredibly tiresome and sadly David is a very unlikeable young man.

Never in 58 years of history in Corrie that we saw a male rape storyline. I think it was high time that we had it. Also, they never showed it, so that is what I am objecting to this complaining. You did not see the graphic details. We all need to know about this and start talking, especially about what we can do about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-31511618391782938142018-05-09T18:51:37.210+01:002018-05-09T18:51:37.210+01:00The main problem with modern Corrie is the time sl...The main problem with modern Corrie is the time slot. All the topics are acceptable - sometimes the acting and writing are questionable but that's an entirely different matter. They move Corrie for football so the time slot is not seen as an ancient tradition which can't be tampered with. Is it to do with the advertisers? One option would be to make Friday night, for example, a one-hour Humpty Dumptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968124501003519978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-64210911826415712572018-05-09T18:47:43.743+01:002018-05-09T18:47:43.743+01:00Maricha:

It would as though on a children's show someone was blown up by terrorists and then a helpline number given at the end for kids who might have been affected. For sixty years this has been a soap opera that the whole family watched together as entertainment shortly after supper. Are we now a society where crime and other people's trauma is entertainment?
