I hope TPTB at Corrie have seen it. <br /><br />I think this phrase "such hokey twists squander the chance to tell proper, grown-up stories" applies not only to bereaved mothers but to many other situations we've seen lately on Corrie.

I found the way it was written was overblown and, sadly, repetitive as a sensational storyline. I missed the younger Jenny and Rita days, but I bet Sally Ann would have done better with a more realistic maggie mugginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-27585374787464774742015-06-17T00:24:39.110+01:002015-06-17T00:24:39.110+01:00Didn't watch Corrie during Jennie's 1st ru...Didn't watch Corrie during Jennie's 1st run but have truly enjoyed her this spring. If murderess Tracy Barlow can be sprung from prison and accepted by all, I wish there were a way for this clearly unwell woman to find the psychological help she needs and make a return.

There is no mention of attending church it was in my opinion just a passing fancy which she outgrew. I am not a fan of Sophie would not be sad to see the back of her character.

I noticed tension was lost because of the way they cut between different scenes and shots, which a small amount of tidying up in the final edit could have fixed. There seems to be a lack of attention to detail which has really shown itself since the new year. Can't really explain why.<br /><br />One example of attention to detail lacking I spotted was a simple Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328126049599187475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-13074077518907883662015-06-16T20:42:59.543+01:002015-06-16T20:42:59.543+01:00Thank you!Thank you!Carry On Blogging!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18385353388512683288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-63973297197046028762015-06-16T20:10:40.365+01:002015-06-16T20:10:40.365+01:00Although I wasn't watching Corrie in the 80s, ...Although I wasn't watching Corrie in the 80s, I was somewhat familiar with her back story and I really enjoyed Sally Ann's performance.
