I know “issues” stories can be dreadful but they also can reach out to and touch viewers in a way no therapist can. They see something happening to characters they know and can relate to it.

For example, Charlie Stubbs was evil yet he could turn on the charm when it suited him, but Geoff has none of that! They don't have any chemistry at all. <br /><br />As for the Robert saga, please may it be over soon!<br />Loubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863157238652077789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-27959254057248407292019-08-24T02:27:32.056+01:002019-08-24T02:27:32.056+01:00No if anything in the age of Brexit Percy is even ...No if anything in the age of Brexit Percy is even worse.

Reasonable enough, see how viewers take to him and whether the storyline would work. However, while Geoff has never been a completely likeable character given his scenes with Tim, this dark side does seem to have come out of the blue. Surely there would be a trigger for him to turn nasty.

Meanwhile, Yasmeen is well-portrayed as a smart, assertive woman who is nonetheless naive and uncertain when it comes to men. And why not? She's led a very sheltered life in some waysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-66191159479288253512019-08-23T20:37:59.915+01:002019-08-23T20:37:59.915+01:00Oh how I agree with your comments especially about...Oh how I agree with your comments especially about Percy Sugden. I could never stand Phyllis first time round but, unfortunately, I have turned into her. However, I am not enjoying Maureen Lipman's latest incarnation as Evelyn; she was super when she was a temporary landlady. But I shall probably continue watching as long as Ken Barlow is in it. It is good to see the Classic episodes knowingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
