Better acting, characters and script. <br /><br />In recent yesrs along with the new produccer did the show have new writing teams too? I'm wondering as the show became weaker in so many areas and that can't be down to just one man surely.

Sadly, there's no buzz when they're all on screen together. If I try really hard, I can see the elders being quite humorous; Kal might be OK away from the family but Zeedan is too heavy weight. Decent story line, wrong family.<br /><br />I would have found the chickens-in-the-backyard more amusing if Tyrone had perhaps Humpty Dumptynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-11606468975941465932015-02-15T16:53:45.167+00:002015-02-15T16:53:45.167+00:00I am also enjoying Egg-gate and agree with Tvor th...I am also enjoying Egg-gate and agree with Tvor that it is a long overdue gentle humor storyline as Corrie storylines have become dark and mean-spirited lately.<br />It's bad enough that the Platts dominate half the episodes but do we really need the Windasses dominating the rest with Faye's pregnancy and the return of Owen's ex?<br />I also thought it was a bit hyporcritical for Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-73424992191418384182015-02-15T15:01:21.816+00:002015-02-15T15:01:21.816+00:00Frosty I noticed that too.

You'd think she would be emotional seeing her kids or at least pissed off at Owen. <br /><br />I'm enjoying Egg-gate. People complain that Corrie doesn't have that gentle humour like it used to.

Its almost like she just popped out for a pint of milk rather than being apart from her kids for 20 years and why come back now suddenly after two decades.<br /><br />Look younger than your daughter award: As above the Frosty the Snowmannoreply@blogger.com
