Coronation Street is the nation's, if not the world's, best soap opera.
I love it, you love it, Mrs Postlethwaite down the road loves it and if you don't love it then, frankly, you need to sort yourself out.
Over the years Coro (or Corrie) has brought us classic storylines and characters such as; Curly and Raquel's trials of love, Ivy Tilsley's ghost, Ashley Peacock's punching above his weight with Maxine, Nigel Havers as a prostitute, the tram crash, Ken Barlow's unfathomable ability to be the most boring yet, apparently, the most desirable man alive and, of course, Richard Hillman's failed attempts to do us all a massive favour and kill Gail Platt.
With storylines like that, it can be hard to keep abreast of the ever-changing events in Weatherfield. This is why this blog was created - to recap the week's goings on and other bits and bobs, mainly including how we would like Gail dead, how irritating Sean is and expansion/evidence of our theory that the only reason that they keep Ken's character going is because William Roache now firmly believes in his own head that Coronation Street is real and he is Ken Barlow (think a reverse Truman Show).
So, welcome, one and all, and let's all bask in the reflected glow of a pint of "the usual" in The Rovers.
