Also agree about Stephen. What a waste of space and that accent ...... AAAAGH
Sadly you're going to be annoyed as I believe he's going to become more prominent and become the next "Bad Guy"

Continuity error last night with Kevin's skin tone. At the start of the program, he's talking to Jack, obviously back from a holiday in Ethiopia, and is darker than Ed's brother. Later on he's in the garage, shot before his holiday and he's actually Caucasian!

Noticed the other day his hands looked like they had fake tan on them.

I’m impressed how Abi’s teeth get bigger and whiter with each episode. We’ve had to adjust the contrast on our telly for the latter smile

Do go on ... ? I thought it was great - thoroughly enjoyed it , even though I had to watch the double act karaoke from behind the sofa.
Just caught up with Fizz & Phil’s wedding episode. Great stuff and love the songs choices. Gemma dancing whilst Evelyn & Phil’s mum singing was hilarious.

Gemma hasn’t had much to do / good storyline for probably two years. A waste of a good actress.

Vera’s earrings were a nice touch.

Absolutely bored with the seemingly weekly police incidents and every single one solved or investigated by PC big ears.
He's not a detective so why would he be involved?
Does he never work outside the 50yards of the cobbles outside his home?

Also why would another funeral director turn up unannounced to buy another business without a phone introduction?

Never mind there'll be another 5 new storylines along in a minute..

And bloody ridiculous - as if Ryan would phone his partner in crime to discuss their involvement from the custody desk, and then be seen talking with her outside the Bistro while Craig walks by and doesn't seem to smell a rat. There's being implausible and there's being downright unbelievably ridiculous!

Since a TV and Radio critic happened to mention they felt Kevin was the nearest thing to Noddy, I've never really seen him in any other way.

Beep beep,

The whole episode tonight was a joke and not in a good way
1) Aggie not only runs the hospital single handedly she also has time to deliver exceptional psychological help in the confidential surroundings of the community garden.
2) As already mentioned Ryan chooses the telephone in the police station to shout at his co-conspirator about the robbery
3) A CCTV system that nobody thinks has a backup battery then PC plod appears instantly to solve the crime
4) Daniel instantly becomes employed via a 1 minute conversation in the pub.
5) Sally given an instant day off with no loss of pay
etc etc etc

Another, as if PC Tinker wouldn't ask Ryan what's in the bag. A bag which is heavy with stuff, like money stuff from a local robbery. Corrie make out he's their very own Poirot, this is basic stuff!

My mindset has completely changed over the last year or two. Previously I liked to watch a decently acted soap drama interwoven with amusing or believable characters. Now I watch it to criticise the moronic and ridiculous story lines. For instance the Ryan “Casino” heist; as has been pointed out, so many plot holes, totally unbelievable actions and reactions by the various characters. The sad thing is, I continue to watch it!

Same here, watched it all my life. Remember sitting down with my mother to watch it, so it's really hard to give up even though I know it's now a bit crap.

That's like saying it gets a bit dark at night! sadly I am also a member of the long term addicted although I am struggling to bother if I have something better to do like watching paint dry!!

I just switched to the Classic Corrie on ITV3. Gave up on the current nonsense a while back frown Just had enough.
