The Faye and Jackson storyline is ridiculous and so rushed. She had a baby with him when she was 12 she was a kid they never were in love , never had a relationship, never have gone on dates besides the kiss in the hotel and they’ve never lived together so they don’t really know each other so this storyline of him coming back and we are expected to believe the two of them are falling for each other is stupid. Yeah they have a daughter together and have spent time together being around their daughter but besides bonding over having a child together where’s the chemistry and connection between them?? If anything Jackson is possessive and controlling out of nowhere acting like he owns Faye and like she owes him loyalty just cause they’ve a daughter together completing ignoring the fact she’s in a relationship.
Faye has been quite sly and nasty too so neither of them come across well but we’re expected to look at her and Jackson as some kind of love story lol. The daughter is spoiled so can be rude and manipulative so if anything it doesn’t seem like a healthy happy family situation. Don’t get me started on Craig the actor who plays him can’t act it’s cringe. Yeah it’s just a soap so things can be rushed and unrealistic sometimes but I think they need to get better writers for the show or better actors cause some of these storylines they have been doing lately are boring and don’t come across well.
Also I don’t get the point of the character Shona I just don’t think she’s a good actress and is kind of pointless but maybe that’s an unpopular opinion I don’t know. I miss the days when coronation street had really good drama and the storylines made you excited for the next episode to come out. I know coronation street is known for wanting to have humour in the show which at times can be good but it would be great if they would do storylines like the old episodes again.
