Tonight on Corrie the local serial killer is going to kill two of the main characters. Has the once unsurpassable coronation Street finall lost the plot for good? Why?

Corrie's always had the odd nutter or two. Rita's Alan that fell under a Blackpool tram springs to mind.

Plus, he's a bit of a pantomine villain. Not sure who it was, but someone on another thread was celebrating the sinister double entendres in virtually everything he says nowadays. I know someone's going to die, but he's still funny.

Coronation Street lost the plot when they went from 3 episodes to 4. The "tricky Dicky" story is th efinal nail in the coffin!!

they've gone way over the top with the tricky dicky thing. it was great fun at first, but now he makes a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, seemingly-innofensive-but-loaded-with-serial-killer-inuuendos remark at least 400 times in each episode. one or two is ok, but it's getting ridiculous. corry still has some good plots, but the extra episode means there are more stupid ones than usual. that one where sally met her soulmate was fucking awful.

"procrastination: we're all guilty of it, but in the end you'll always need to kill that random old woman"

"babysitters can be worth their weight in gold" ;-)

Shut up, Richard. Your time has been and gone.

"You'll get your reward in heaven, Emily" says Richard tonight. Silence you fool!

WHACK! SPLAT! Emily, is that your BRANE on the FLOOR?! And here's some for you Maxine! THUMP!

I'm going back to watch the second half now.

I didn't see it but it is crime & punishment without any sympathetic characters/point.

Great picture on the cover of The Sun the other day, with the kids lined up all gaffa-taped up and Gail looking on horrified while Richard just smirked maniacally.
