Following on from my complaints about the television soap opera, Coronation Street is getting worse. Now they're killing everyone off, especially children as they seem to have found themselves with too many of them.
And one of the best characters, the criminal Gary Windass has suddenly lost all sense. He's already told someone about his killing of Rick the loan shark. This is now being touted in media as a murder when in fact it wasn't, Gary killed Rick to prevent Rick from murdering him. Gary at the time was in a fight for his life in the woods where Rick had already dug Gary's grave (phew, convoluted I know).
Now Gary is going to go down for the assault on Adam Barlow when it was his sister who did that. Gary was found with the assault weapon on him in the middle of the day after he retrieved it from his sister's bedroom. He was setting out to get rid of the weapon to protect his sister as it was the only thing that connected her to the crime. Hang on though, Gary Windass wouldn't be so stupid, he'd have left the item under her bed until he had a sure way of getting rid of it. It wasn't going anywhere quickly and his sister wasn't even a suspect at that time.
This is one of my main complaints about the soap, characters all of a sudden depart from type and do strange or silly things, and then they likely later confess to all and sundry. Not only that, a handy witness is invariably on hand or an off duty cop lurks around every corner.
Do the screenwriters think these stories through? They're getting as weak as NZ's Shortland Street.
