Coronation Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Coronation Street (commonly nicknamed Corrie, and to a lesser extent Coro St, Corra, CS, or even Corruption Street) is set in a fictional street in the fictional industrial town of Weatherfield which is based on Salford, now part of Greater Manchester (a Coronation Street does exist in Salford). Coronation Street is also shown in many countries worldwide, being the centre of the TV schedule of Ireland's independent television station, TV3 Ireland (part-owned by Granada), which simulcasts it with ITV. The "Street" is based in a terraced row of seven working-class houses (for some years, six, with a garden in the place of the seventh) with a public house, or pub, and a corner shop at each end. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Coronation_Street   (4666 words)

Coronation Street In the late nineties the producers decided to try for a younger audience so most of the storylines suddenly involved a lot of new and unlikable young people, and a lot of the beloved older characters were put out to pasture, usually in spectacular deaths, which were very atypical of Coronation Street. Character-led storylines and gentle humour were sacrificed for ratings-boosting "controversial" storylines and in recent years the once stable cast turnover has gone through the roof. Corrie most definitely jumped the shark when some stupid loon decided to exhaust the show by increasing output from 3 to 4 episodes a week. www.jumptheshark.com /c/coronationstreet.htm   (1681 words)

The Scotsman - Top Stories - Have the EastEnders scriptwriters lost the plot? Prof Cashmore points to Emmerdale, which moved away from a sleepy tale of farming life towards racy storylines, and Coronation Street, which has introduced storylines designed to attract younger viewers. From the very first episode, 20 years ago tonight, EastEnders marked itself out as a gritty, hard-hitting alternative to Coronation Street, which was in danger of becoming a cosy nostalgiafest about lives in a northern town that only Hilda Odgen and her fellow Weatherfield residents would recognise. Jessie Wallace’s off-screen behaviour helped her on-screen persona, as it seemed to fit in with her character as Kat Slater." But the real-life stories of the stars behind the soaps can sometimes be a double-edged sword, as was the case with Leslie Grantham and the notorious webcam incident. thescotsman.scotsman.com /index.cfm?id=189362005   (1357 words)

Street-wise EastEnders overtakes rival Perhaps inevitably, EastEnders gains a higher audience in the south, whereas Coronation Street has its most loyal core of fans in the north and some critics believe that the regional differences between the two series will become even more apparent. Coronation Street, which is famed for the quality of its scripts, still features more interior, setpiece "two-handers" and fewer scenes per episode. EastEnders has reacted with a marked change, incorporating faster cuts between sequences, more storylines and a greater number of characters. www.portal.telegraph.co.uk /htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/1996/10/31/nsoap31.html   (568 words)

Coronation Street, Granada Television Studios, Manchester The show has has attracted a whole generation of writers and authors to create its storylines, and a veritable cavalcade of stars of film, theatre and television have trodden its cobbled street. Granada Television's flagship long running TV show, Coronation Street, was first transmitted on Friday 9th December 1960 with an expected six weeks run. It was envisaged and created by novelist Tony Warren as a short drama serial based on everyday life in a fictitious Manchester suburb called Weatherfield, populated by various stereotypical characters, and set in the then rather dour back-to-back terraced streets of a less prosperous northern city. www.manchester2002-uk.com /celebs/corrie/corrie-st.html   (426 words)

Coronation Street Character-led storylines and gentle humour were sacrificed for ratings-boosting "controversial" storylines and in recent years the once stable cast turnover has gone through the roof. In addition, they completely changed Leanne Battersby's personality and prolonged the exceptionally boring Charley/Shelley/Bev love triangle, which is still going on today, almost 2 years later. ITV has finally noticed the programme's poor quality (and more importantly to them, poor ratings) and has brought in new producers, but it is debatable whether the show can regain its strength because there is so much that needs to be done. www.jumptheshark.com /c/coronationstreet.htm   (1681 words)

Guardian Soap springs eternal When Coronation Street made its debut in December 1960, in the midst of the "kitchen sink" era of Look Back in Anger or Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, nobody could have imagined the reverberations it would create, or how it would have helped to alter the shape of British television 40 years later. Meanwhile the arrival of more soaps, or the extra episodes being added to existing ones, means there's intense pressure to keep cooking up ever more sensational or outrageous storylines. What's alarming is the way that soap formulas have run amok through the schedules, choking up vast swathes of airtime like pondweed (how ironic to think that we were once led to believe that TV airtime was a precious resource not to be squandered). www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4295745-110873,00.html   (1681 words)
