I’m sure Vicky Entwistle and Jane Danson (Leanne) had an argument on Twitter about something Vicky said about Corrie.

Vicky E is right about the quality of the writing, in modern day Corrie.

I haven’t watched it in years because even 10 years ago the stories were getting poorer. It’s to be expected when they have 5/6 episodes a week and are competing against other soaps I guess but there have been some really strong storylines in Classic Corrie.

Maybe it’s because I’m older too but I’m seeing the characters differently - Ashley and Fred have acted the recent storyline so well and there are some fantastic characters that even when they’re not front and centre are really good - Betty, Jack, Alma, Roy, Toyah etc
 
So I’ve just caught up and my observations today are clothing related:

* Did Toyah have a shift at a hardware store and that’s why she was wearing that beige pinafore/dress?

* Why was Gail constantly wearing a chunky knit cardigan when others were sunbathing?

* Was it mandatory for everyone who owned a corner shop/greengrocer in the 90s to wear a dark green overall jacket thing a la Vikram?

Jane Danson was hardly unbiased in her opinion of Corrie. She is unlikely to slate the show that employers her, despite how crap it is - or how crap she really thinks it is.

I was 'team Vicki' in that dispute, as she was spot on. You also have to look at Bev Callards disparaging comments about Corrie after she left. Sarah Lancashire and Thelma Barlow have hardly been positive about it either.

I was literally thinking when watching it the other day that it used to focus more on the older generation in the show and how it’s almost done a complete 360 to today. They seem to focus on the younger generation a lot more now which to be honest I think is rubbish 😅 if I wanted to watch a teen drama I would but that’s just not what I want to watch in a tv soap. It’s all too much of a competition these days as well between them all and they’ve taken some storylines just way too far that it becomes really unrealistic and crap.

Leanne was a right cow to Ashley.
The actress who plays Linda (Tina in Emmerdale) is really good, shame she quit, but maybe she thought she'd always end up playing the 'femme fatale' character.

I think that was her last big role before opening a drama school in Glasgow - and became a writer
