Coronation Street: Storylines are no longer exciting for fans

Currently on the cobbles, Simon is having a difficult time due to Peter’s exit. He’s been spending a lot of time drinking and waking up with awful hangovers.

Elsewhere, the Baileys are struggling with Ed’s gambling addiction. Michael almost died in a fire, with it being revealed last night (Monday, January 29) that Ed had known that the Builder’s Yard was on fire but failed to put it out.

In another storyline, Liam Connor is being bullied by Mason and his former friend, Dylan.

He’s been ditching school and has even taken the blame for starting a fight, covering for the bullies.

Now, fans are begging the soap to do something to make Corrie exciting again – and they’ve suggested a rather dramatic solution.
