Idiots abound on Corrie this week and other thoughts

I enjoyed Corrie this week really but I kept thinking, while watching, that there were a lot of idiots on the street this week. People just keep getting it wrong, don't they?

Katy, Chesney, Sinead, Ryan, Paul, Lloyd, Nick, Leanne, Kylie, Gail, Tim. They're all idiots for various reasons.

Why? Here's why. Maybe you'll agree and maybe you won't. But it was still a good week on Corrie with several new storylines ramping up including the Gruesome Twosome (Tracy and Rob) deciding to go into business together.

Now that Katy and Ryan have split up, can Ryan please just disappear? Tim and Sally are flirting. I suppose that can only end one way. Tim is just as weak and feckless as most of Sally's fellas but it's nice to see her in a storyline and she does deserve a bit of fun.

Another thought passed through, about Jenna and Sophie. When they first got together, people wondered why overqualified and educated Jenna was bothering with college drop out Sophie. There were some people that thought that Jenna could at least encourage Sophie to go back to school. But Jenna threw her career away and she's not making much headway into getting back into any sort of professional job which isn't really going to set up much of an example for Sophie, is it? She's not going to bother getting an education if she sees someone with qualifications and experience not able to get a job.

And while we're on that subject, why haven't we had any sort of focus on their relationship? When Sophie and Sian were together, we had lots of scenes with the two of them and saw how their relationship was going, bumps and all. Once we got over the initial get together for Jenna and Sophie, they've completely fallen off the radar. I want to see them struggle to get to know each other, get around their differences and find out what they have in common. I want to see them do more than just cross paths in the shop or have a drink in the Rovers.

We've not see Fiz and Tyrone for awhile. I assume things are floating along smooth waters for them these days. Dev is taking a breather too as have the Price family. I suppose things will hot up there before summer's out. I'm really looking forward to seeing Karl get what's coming to him!
