Let me guess: "I didn't mean to kill him. It was an accident."
On the 1998 series, Jim McDonald has been drinking (what's new?) and tried to lay into his son, fell backwards and landed in a skip with blood coming out of his nose.
I've never found him a particularly interesting character.

The other difference is that during the intervening 20-odd years they have replaced some genuinely interesting and convincing characters (I listed some earlier) with boring nonentities.

I've just been watching Jack Duckworth being taken to a hypnotist by his wife, Vera, in an attempt to stop him smoking.
He's come up with a brilliant idea: he's reverted to a person from the 18th century... and Vera seems to have bought it!
Unfortunately, Roy Cropper has taken an interest in discovering more of how things were locally in those distant years. You can guess what's coming now. Jack has some quick thinking to do!

Re: Coronation Street
I’ve been watching CS for more years than I want to admit to. I’ve always enjoyed the characters. In the last 10 years or so, they have tried to make it more realistic, focusing on social issues like depression, etc. In my opinion, this was a soap that started out as entertainment – and there were lots of entertainment moments, i.e. Jack and Vera Duckworth. Now it jumps from one tragedy to another – it’s depressing. The comedy was taken right out of this show and replaced with “real life” events. I’m sure half the street has been in jail – it’s an old standby, the other half are busy having affairs. Sadly, I am realizing this is the time to quit watching and move on to something else. This soap no longer serves any purpose for me.| Thread Tools | |
