[QUOTE="Whovian, post: 385768, member: 57872"] That's not the kind of 'realism' that anybody in this thread is on about. Nobody's suggesting that everybody stops using smartphones and harks back to the days where you had to use a phone box to call somebody. Were discussing the plots as the issue and the acting and that the general set up of the street - all of which are complete anachronisms compared to the real world in 2024. Characters that reflected real people of the time have been gradually replaced by characters who change based on their current plot and live ridiculously eventful lives, there's no earthiness to them anymore (or at least wasn't when I checked out a few years ago). There's no real street in the country that's 'like Coronation Street' - when it launched there was loads of streets that are 'like Coronation Street' that's why it had so much success. [/QUOTE]
