Frustrated viewers express concerns over Coronation Street’s reliance on stunts, citing budget constraints and a desire for better character development.
The show often does special events like the fire at Platt’s place, or that huge tram crash. Fans now think the stunts look cheap.
One person posted on Reddit about it and asked “Corrie” to stop doing so many stunts. They mentioned budget cuts at ITV. The fan wrote, “You can’t make stunts look good anymore” and thinks the show should know its limits.
Others online agreed with this view. Someone else said the stunts are “overdone” and think they have lost their impact now because the show uses them too much. The person suggested focusing on the characters.
The original poster added that stopping stunts could save some money, and they think that money could improve characters. They saw good character stuff recently.
Another viewer had a different opinion. They think the bosses waste money and keep characters who do nothing in the background. They joked about one actor knowing secrets.
