We need more of it.<br /><br />This Marcus/Todd thing is bothering me way too much. Marcus has always had enough sense, there is no way he would move in there with Todd. And that scene at the door where Todd sees Maria and starts kissing Marcus to get Maria worked up, the Marcus that usedShanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506630755594111578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-50567668711443323502014-05-19T12:56:49.509+01:002014-05-19T12:56:49.509+01:00Humpty Dumpty - you are quite right, Ryan Thomas a...<br />Humpty Dumpty - you are quite right, Ryan Thomas and Simon Gregson have come so far during their time on the show.

On a related note, there is never any sense of nuance in relationships.

It's all wasted opportunities for great story telling when they go all Koo-coo mixing up the characters in desperate, evil, negative, depressing, shtoopid, insulting, uncomfortable and unreal plots meant to get ratings. Right?<br />Corrie has a large and intelligent audience that deserves to be rewarded with better writing.

Ryan Thomas has really matured during his time on Corrie, similarly Simon Gregson. Others who grew up on the show haven't fared so well. It's so hit-and-miss who's going to develop into a good actor that you begin to have some sympathy with Casting when they take on young unknowns.Humpty Dumptynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-77299708212170656662014-05-18T16:42:20.240+01:002014-05-18T16:42:20.240+01:00I haven't seen the scenes between Marcus and T...I haven't seen the scenes between Marcus and Todd yet but looking forward to Eileen and Jason scene as it seems like everyone like it.

I want to love and empathise with the characters not shake my head in despair at their silly antics. I cheered when Eileen threw them all out. Always enjoy your blogs.

The Marcus and Todd scenes on Friday made me feel sick, why would Marcus stoop so low as to even consider moving in with Todd so soon and in the face of his ex? It's totally far-fetched. Let's hope Marcus takes Todd away with him and let's see Sean (who suddenly seems likeable in comparison) settle down with a decent husband within a stable - yet eventful - relationship.
