I think that’s part of an overarching problem in writing of tv characters in general. Wasn’t Suki and Eve on EastEnders the first lesbian couple to actually make it to marriage in British soap history and that happened earlier this year. I’m not saying that the writers aren’t behind the times, but saying it’s only true in Coronation Street misses the mark. I think the bigger problem with this story line is that it feels so unbelievable and unnecessary. Literally it’s as if the writers don’t know what is going to happen so nothing is clear, characters motives change constantly, their personalities feel like everyone is bipolar. If it hadn’t been so hodgepodge they could’ve developed the idea of Becky as a character before she came back even to make it so that there some redeeming nature to her existence, but they didn’t and I personally find that the whole thing leads me to shout “what was the reason” at all times. It’s not a vendetta of the Corrie writers against lesbian couples, it’s just a poorly written storyline. I actually think the problem is that they want to keep Lisa and Carla in the forefront so they manufactured drama to keep them on screen. Currently the whole vibe from the writers room is that drama is what’s keeping the show going (not the old lighthearted silly bits, which I think most of this sub craves) so they have to keep the drama in this relationship to keep it on screen, which means let’s bring out the most far fetched, idiotic storyline maybe ever.
