Soaps: keep or cull?

The recent producer changes at EastEnders and Hollyoaks have got people on our forums talking about which characters in the soaps are essential and which are due the chop. Most people are agreed that new Hollyoaks producer Paul Marquess has made the correct decision in axing some of our least wanted characters, such as [...]

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past six months and haven’t noticed, tonight is the silver anniversary of EastEnders. The Beeb have been showing off a lot about how brilliant it all is, and whilst I have totally loved all the coverage, it does need pointing out that there have [...]

Post image for Soapstar Superstars – September/October

Apologies for missing out last month, but I’ve had the kind of poor health that would make me a shoo-in for next year’s X Factor. In a couple of months that have had us blubbing at many soap deaths and despairing at many unwanted returning characters, who have our forum users been loving and [...]

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions this month. With Home and Away being off air and the rest of the soaps continuing with storylines that let our usual favourites shine and our usual pet hates stink, it’s not been easy to select this month’s soap winners and losers, but going on your feedback and [...]

June has seen EastEnders dealing with bipolar disorder and being gay and Muslim, Coronation Street has begun the Molly/Kevin storyline, and Hollyoaks has celebrated what must be a first: several student characters actually graduating. But never mind the headline-grabbing antics, who have our forum users been enthusing over and despairing about this month? [...]

Eastenders is the most improved soap on telly at the moment, and the scriptwriters/storyliners seem to have realised that their biggest assets aren’t actually just the Mitchells and Brannings after all, with the Jacksons, Masoods and Slaters getting some much deserved screentime of late.
