Eastenders is the best one for me any day
1 -
Years ago I used to love eastenders. Then it went rubbish so stopped watching it. Corrie I used to watch religiously. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Till that drawn out saga with the policewoman who's name I forget and the back from the dead other policewoman. Just stopped watching it and don't miss it. Emmerdale I still watch but another back from the dead storyline? Come on scriptwriters! There's a lot of tv programmes to watch but I'm not sure they realise that. And while I'm grumbling( you did say it was a soapbox!😁😁) how many soap characters do people actually like? For me in corrie it was just Roy and Evelyn. I was finding a lot of them unlikable. In emmerdale? Kim I like , Charity , can't think of many more to be honest. Although I did like Robert's ex husband( can't think of his name now) . Think the scriptwriters could have done a lot with the character

I know it'll probably never happen but I'd love them to bring back Neighbours, and not just for all the rather attractive women, even some of the older ones such as Jackie "Susan" Woodbourne are gorgeous.

Whoops…I thought this was a new thread to talk about politics, religion & other hard topics…my mistake! 😉
Many moons ago I got tired of soaps. Corrie was better for Ena Sharples & Elsie Tanner. Emmerdale Farm, lost interest after the plane crash, as poor Archie was lost & never spoken of. Eastenders, Den & Angie got way too much!
But….always loved Crossroads, shame the comeback didn't quite hit the badness of the original. Ooh & David Hunter! 😍 Sorry, I'll put m'coat on & leave now…

Eastenders is my favourite right now i think @Strawberry1
I think its so cool that Margot Robbie was on Neighbours for a bit @SheffieldMan1976!!
Charity is one of my favourite characters in Emmerdale too @birdwatcher! I also really like Moira, do you like her? I agree with you on the back from the dead storyline, I don't like it either!!
The storyline between the two policewomen is over now, it seems to be a lot about Shona/Jodie/David at the moment and the storyline of the teacher grooming the young boy.
Hahahah @JessieJ maybe I should've thought the title through a bit more🤣 I've never watched Crossroads, which soap was it similar too?
I never watched Brookside either @Amberpearl, which soap was it most similar too?0 -
Brookside was in Liverpool and was the same as emmerdale corrie and eastenders
Lots of gritty stories
It's on stv now
Showing every episode from 1982
Worth a look

Oooh I haven't seen anything about that yet @SheffieldMan1976!! Sounds like it could be a very interesting storyline and plot

Oooh I didn’t know Brookside was being repeated, that was probably my favourite. Now got to see if STV is on Freeview, I've not heard of that before!

If you have sky just put brookside in your search bar

Thanks very much @Amberpearl, I don't have Sky but found it on STV but episodes 801 to 830. I gave up after 10 minutes when I realised Sheila Grant was married to Billy Corkhill and had divorced Bobby (can't remember his name but Ricky something). Glad I looked though as I accidentally found PBS America on Freeview and was able to watch documentaries on Vietnam. I don't think I watched Brookie in the early 90's but watched it in 98/99 weirdly.
Now nearly time for Eastenders not that I know many of them in that! Hope you have a lovely evening.

Ricky Tomlinson, he was equally famous for playing Jim in the Royle Family, which also starred Sue Johnston, fka Sheila Grant, as his wife Barbera, and the late Caroline Aherne as daughter Denise, she and the guy who played her partner Dave, also wrote the show.

I can't believe I couldn't remember his surname! I loved The Royle Family. Thanks for letting me know that was annoying me (should have googled it 🙄). There was a documentary maybe a year or so ago about Caroline. I remembered her growing up in Wythenshawe as I did (same age) and later in Timperley. Very sad loss, she was very talented.

Love the idea of having dedicated spaces for each show so fans can chat and share opinions about the latest episodes. It makes it easier to keep discussions organised and lets people connect with others who follow the same soaps. Hope it brings more engagement to the community.
