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.

Sally and Kev were probably the first long term couple to be split up. Followed by Mike and Alma, Gail and Martin, then Janice and Les.

The trend has followed since, with no married couple lasting more than a few years before they are split up for whatever reason - usually an affair.

A long and lasting marriage is non existent in modern day soaps.

Youre so right, I was just trying to think who actually stayed together, Jack and Vera!

How many times has Steve Mcdonald been married now? I've lost count.

The character is still in his 40's but has been married more times than Joan Collins. :ROFLMAO:

The trend nowadays is definately marriage, then be split up within two years. I can't name any characters in any of the soaps that have a long term marriage.

Nobody has a good word to say about Anthony Cotton! And yet, he's still employed. What I want to know is what kind of scurrilous gossip he surely must have on the higher ups!

I don’t know anyone who likes Sean/Anthony. It is strange he’s still in it

I stopped watching Corrie for years, so I missed Karen McDonald, the new Platt children, Fizz, kirk, Maria and so on. It will be intersting to see their debuts in the show. I agree with many others, who have said that this was the start of the decline in quality.
