oh wake up abit it doesnt take a genious to work out that the soap can only have a certain amount of characters. coronation street can not have lots of characters simply because there will be no where for them to stay and live but they could have one homeless tramp. 

Soap-free weekends mean that there's no 'Coronation Street' installment on Sundays any more...but they've put it on at 20:30 on Fridays instead.  I just wondered whether that was necessary?  It feels like it's being stretched too much...
