Message: <blockquote data-quote="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989" data-source="post: 109496" data-attributes="member: 95">I think soaps have become way too comfortable, and Corrie has fallen into that trap, I completely agree with [USER=21]@Barbara Fan[/USER] there are way too many episodes, three episodes is enough, five or six is overkill.Its telling  that there hasn't been a successful soap - daytime or primetime - launched since Doctors in 2000, which is basically the better part of two decades, yet it seems that the soaps are relying too much on the past lately, either by moulding existing characters into newer versions of older and past characters or they're bringing back too many older characters who have been out of the show for years in some attempt a recapturing some "glory era"Coronation Street in particular is suffering from this I find, we the audience don't expect soaps to become some glossy, American Netflix production, but just a happy balance between, Reality, OTT and Humour.</blockquote>
