As you know, this blog is for the Canadian timeline for Corrie. I don't or rarely post spoilers but i do keep up with them. In fact, i have to. I write for Corrieblog which is a UK based Coronation Street blog and i couldn't do that if i avoided spoilers. I also post the upcoming spoilers for Corrie.net and with the advent of figuring out how to download tv stuff from the UK, i am now writing an episode update once a week for the UK timeline. Because i was downloading Monday night's episode for that, i started getting into the habit of downloading all the Corrie UK episodes as they are broadcast. So there i am, watching UK Corrie and Canadian corrie and trying to keep them all straight!! We're now seeing shows in Canada that aired in the UK in March i think and seeing shows that i have written the updates for.
I don't really have a problem keeping it all straight, i was just joking. But what is mildly frustrating is the fact that i can't break my own rules and blog about what's going on in the UK now and then, when a particularly funny or sad or annoying episode/storyline airs. Oh i can sometimes blog it on Corrieblog, for sure, and i do. If i ever stop writing for Corrieblog, though, i expect i'll start up another general Corrie blog on Blogger that's not restricted to Canadian timeline, just general thoughts and rants and news on my own. Glenda Young, who writes the weekly updates from the UK has her own Corrie blog and it's fab, but of course, full of UK spoilers so don't go there if you don't want to know. Otherwise, indulge yourself!
Another new blog that's started up is called "Back on the Street" and is all old Corrie history and trivia, news articles and photos and it's really good for long time fans and fans that want to learn more about the show.
For Canadian timeline episode updates, which are more detailed than what I do with my Sunday comments, check out Corrie Canuck. Their team of writers are always sharp and funny!
Those are the sites that really stand out and the ones i check regularly. Of course you can always have a look at my own website that has a Corrie section but the content doesn't change a whole lot. It's mainly a portal to other sites, and talks about my own personal Coronation Street experience. There's also links to write-ups for the Corrie star event shows we've had here in Halifax. Next Halifax show is March 31 at the Halifax Marriott, by the way and we don't know who's coming yet, but someone definitely is and the show is always good!

I remember when they showed old episodes of Corrie on one channel, Canadian timeline on CBC, and then I was looking at the updates for the UK timeline. My granddaughter used to watch with me, and she had an easier time keeping it all straight, lol.
Oh yes, that was WTN, it's called W now, i used to write up those episode summaries too. All good stuff from the 90s.
