Kay Mellor has criticised Coronation Street.
She said: “I just felt that the writing wasn’t as good as it used to be.
“When I used to watch Coronation Street, it was fantastic. They were just brilliant and I don’t think there is the craft there that there used to be.”
She commented on scenes which aired this week (image: ITV).
Kay also touched on Deirdre Barlow’s funeral scenes, which aired this week: “I did feel as if it was a missed opportunity.
“I did feel they were trying to crank up an emotion and it was a false emotion… there should have been something more and I just felt as if it was engineered. It felt false somehow.”Explore more on these topics:
