Can’t say I have seen reaction, though I haven’t really gone looking. Only
real comment I have seen is why would Weatherfield need a help centre for
asylum seekers when they only have one ( I guess you have that bit to come
) . The storyline drags on, with Spider still undercover, and Max getting
in deeper. I suppose they pick on Speed Dahl because they look different.
White immigrants, illegal or otherwise, are not so obvious!

To be honest currently I am a bit bored. That storyline, Stephen, Hope, not
to mention the strange play and women after Ken, not doing it for me. I
need some fun! Maybe Christmas episodes will have some. Classic Corrie
from 2001-2002, much more fun even when it is miserable.

It's odd you say that, my elder daughter was saying the same thing and
that she thought she finally would not bother to watch religiously
anymore and it was that which made me ask you - she clearly isn't
alone. I believe you aren't the only ones, for the first time ever
there have been promos for Corrie on tv, they've never needed to do
that before!

There have always been dull patches, so hopefully these stories will end
and we can enjoy it again
