Vicky E is right about the quality of the writing, in modern day Corrie.I’m sure Vicky Entwistle and Jane Danson (Leanne) had an argument on Twitter about something Vicky said about Corrie.

I can’t stand modern day Corrie, I don’t watch it but see it on occasions if I’m at my mums or something and always think how terrible it is but classic Corrie I’ve been enjoying
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
Yep I agree. I love catching up with the classic episodes but only seem to watch the modern episodes when i've got nothing to watch.
ETA Mike was odious in today's second episode. Proper dinosaur.

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?

Any more than two pieces of denim and my brain just shuts off. Maybe that’s what Owen (?) was attracted to!
'Ooooh Sally and Mikey, you may have got me banged up for now, but I will get you both one day'.
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.

It was his “you’ve had two weeks” attitude I was like wtf!
Yes, it was pretty much everything he said to her I was like wtf
I get serious rage watching Mike Baldwin but I guess that means he was a good character and played the role well.
I think the writers made a mistake splitting up Mike and Alma. They were a very interesting couple.
From memory this is the start of CS decline. Characters aren’t as rounded as before. Yes there’s a lot of great stories to come but from now on it seems to try and copy EE.

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.

I know, I hate the way Leanne was speaking to him. Glad he chucked her out.
I think that was her last big role before opening a drama school in Glasgow - and became a writer
