CORONATION Street fans have lashed out as soap bosses over several ongoing storylines which they
deem “boring” and demand are axed.
Recently, Weatherfield has been a hub of criminal activity thanks to the likes of corrupt copper Kit Green
(Jacob Roberts), manipulative cult leader Rowan Cunliffe (Emrhys Cooper) and villainous Joel Deering (Callum Lill).
However, Coronation Street fans have criticised the ITV soap for focusing too much on criminal storylines.
In recent weeks, Corrie fans have watched as Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) has been completely drawn in by Rowan and the Institute.
The pair even convinced Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) to invest her £40,000 inheritance to her the cult, a decision she later came to regret.
While Leanne’s intentions were pure, Rowan has been scamming the residents of Weatherfield from the off.

It seems Leanne is finally getting closer to finding out the truth about Rowan’s manipulative ways, but this storyline still seems set to continue for a while longer.
However, viewers are ready for it to be wrapped up.
“Get this institute storyline wrapped up. It’s so tedious. I get you raising awareness, but it’s been ages and is boring now. Let’s have some humour back,” one Corrie fan fumed on X, formerly Twitter.
Of course, the soap does have some more emotional ongoing storylines, such as Paul Foreman’s deteriorating health.
This is set to be at the forefront of the soap next week as Corrie bosses have confirmed Paul will die in upcoming scenes.
However, viewers think there are still too many ongoing criminal plots.

Another major storyline fans have issues with surrounds the villainous Joel.
Joel has been grooming underage girls in Weatherfield and is secretly the father of Lauren Bolton’s (Caitlin Fitton) baby.
Thankfully, his ex, Dee Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown), has finally cottoned on to who Joel really is and has taken it upon herself to expose him.
However, this storyline has been going on since Joel took up residence in Weatherfield last year and some viewers are over it.
