Re: Coronation Street
A few days ago I read that Corrie is considering planning a storyline about a character becoming a Muslim extremist.
They said it wouldn't be a member of the existing Nasir family, they would probably introduce other people.
They said they know it would cause controversy, but feel it is a real issue at the moment and shouldn't be shyed away from.
I don't know about you, but I feel this is both uneccessary and wrong.
For one thing, they haven't a clue who is watching the programme, and for all they know, people who have lost a loved one in this way might be viewing, and I'm sure they wouldn't like to see it on a soap.
Also, it may even give some nutters ideas.
Apart from anything else, don't we watch a bit of telly to 'escape' daily troubles, I for one, don't want to see it brought into a soap.
