I don't know anything about undercover police but would they really get that much involved? Throwing paint and letting a young lad get beaten up?

yes, theres a podcast by James English with an undercover cop. He said he watched someone beat another man up really bad in front of his wife and kids. He said he felt guilty about it to this day that he wasn’t able to do anything. It was something to do with footy rivals

Oh yeah I saw that clip of him on Facebook or somewhere actually , forgot about that. How awful 😭
 
Corrie had the potential to really do some of these storylines properly, but they seem to fail every time.
Normally I would find this race storyline hard to watch but it actually isn't because it's so unbelievable and stupid.
The leader of that race gang, I can't think of his name because I think he's a prat but he is built like a supernoodle - you could blow him over in a gust of wind, yet they are trying to portray him as some big hardcore racist. Plus, he is a terrible actor.
 
Exactly. They ruin potentially good storylines by sensationalising them. I think think the last decent story they had was Aiden’s suicide. That proved that they are still capable of doing amazing things when they try. The coercive control story was excellent up until they had Geoff fall off a roof and Yasmine accused of murder. Same goes for Sebs murder. The potential is there but they don’t follow through and as Corrie is often used to proper up their ailing talent shows then I can’t see that changing anytime soon. I also knew full well Summer would never go to Oxford, they can’t have someone leave Weatherfield and make something of themselves can they?

The last one was Ken, and look what good that did him.

Yeah I still remember aidans suicide and it actually brought tears to my eyes when it was on tv. It was so very well done. Even with the aftermath and how people dealt with the grieve.
It’s such a shame storylines aren’t like that any more.
Bethany’s storyline too with the grooming was very good and I was gripped watching it.

all the storylines lately have just been ridiculous.

can we have another tram crash to wipe them all out please?

Anyway sorry for the rant, I know it’s meant to be Corrie and not taken that serious but it really winds me up 😂 😂
