(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog March 2011, reposted to this blog with permission.)Recently we saw Becky McDonald trying to throttle half-sister Kylie in another Corrie cat-fight. But the problem with Corrie cat-fights, aka two women scrapping in a soap, is that they’re always hyped to be something much more than they turn out to be.
Other soaps sites have spoilers! pictures! videos! of the cat fight and then when it turns up on screen it’s over before it’s begun. It starts with a bit of name-calling. A head turns. A frown appears. Frown turns into scream. Arms, hands, manicured nails reach out and a there’s a bit of hair-pulling before a bloke (and it’s usually a bloke) steps in to pull one woman away from the other. And then it’s over.
Of course, as any true Corrie fan knows, for a proper Coronation Street she-scrap, what you want is two middle-aged women, in their dressing gowns, knocking ten bells out of each other on the cobbles.
Now that’s a Corrie cat-fight.
