Right so a baby being swapped is the ultimate offence but multiple deaths and injuries is fine!!
No - A dead baby being picked up by its mother and taken to a neighbours house where its swapped with a live baby and then the nonsense is strung out over weeks and months including someone burying a baby that isn't theirs and the mother whose baby actually died gets turned into a hate figure - Is worse.
out of curiousity AND VERY OFF TOPIC, CJWAKLER, i make videos for my local community centre and their shown every month to around 100-150 people. its sort of a mock soap opera and features the same characters every month. its set in a little street, (actually a long hallway' called Murdar Street.
Anyway, do you put those explosions into videos? and if so, could you help make an explosion in one of my episodes??
Hey sorry just read this!
I unfortunaly dont know how to do moving images etc xx
I think you will find that they are not allowed to show Islam in a bad light , it will not happen as today's terrorism is synonymous with Islamic extremists
Whats the difference between a bomb in EE and say, the plane crashing on Emmerdale?
Saying you can't have a bomb on EE due to London being bombed a few years ago is the same as saying Emmerdale should not have had a plane crash because planes have crashed, or Corrie cannot have a tram crash as trains crash.
If a show does a storyline very close (say months) to a real event then fair enough, but years?
I don't think its that controversial and isn't in itself a bad idea if executed properly (and not on the Square itself as it would not be a target) but London itself, it is a target and ergo could and as history shows, does happen.
Doesn't have to be Islamic terrorists either, could be an IRA offshoot or just some random nut job.
It would be different, how many pub fires/exposions have there been in Soap land? How many affairs or other similar cookie cutter "controversial" storylines?
The plane crash was due to engine failure not a terrorist act
A couple of miles away a bank is robbed, and the robbers arrive in the square looking for a place to hide. They hold the vic hostage, and kill several people. THen there's a huge stand off between the police and the bank robbers. Alfie and the Branning Brothers save the day instead of the police.
Jeez, you need to learn how to Photoshop properly. They're getting worse, not better.
Well I think these photo shops are very good!! Why don't you try? Photoshopping isn't that easy. Carry on with your amazing work CJWALKER
And I also think it would be a very good storyline a bomb hitting Walford, HOWEVER I do feel that if it happened at the tube station people would start complaining to Ofcom because of what happened during the 7/7 attacks which I would completely understand personally. Maybe if it was at a different location it might make the topic a little less sensitive?? I'm not sure though

Exactly. And the plane crash in Emmerdale was only a few years after Lockerbie.
And planes have never crashed over or in villages?
Edit: beaten too it already should read furher before replying.
My point was that these things happen in real life and provided you don't cover a story right on top of a real event then it shouldn't be a problem.
Yeah, and that was a badly misjudged storyline by Emmerdale, BUT it had nothing to do with terrorism, blowing up a London Underground building is nearly reenacting 7/7

I don't think it was badly judged by Emmerdale. Its just a storyline provided it's not on top of a real disaster it really shouldn't matter.
Those affected afterall will be sensitive to it forever and will from time to time see reminders. That fact should not prevent TV or film drama years after the event.
Also as an aside; I don't think dramatic renactments are offensive either. Would a drama that reconstructed say the Chynoble (sp?) incident be offensive or would it serve as a stark reminder of the terrible things that can happen in the real world?
A Bomb explodes at the Tube Station killing Mercy, Jane and injuring Christian, Fatboy and Ronnie!
It could be the 'tram crash' style stunt and give Eastenders a proper disaster on an epic scale!
Ive said over and over a terrorist bomb plot could NEVER be done on EE.
Heres the reason: Say a story was filmed and a few days before or after the due transmission date a REAL terrorism attack were to take place in the UK. The programme would have to be pulled for several episodes out of respect and sensitivity to the real life victims. when the programme resumed all scenes relating to the attack would need to be removed as the public outcry re: EE "exploiting" real life tragedy would be phenominal! (make the whole Baby Swap furore seem like a storm in a teacup!)
People often suggest a terrorism plot- god knows why IMO- totally unworkable
It happens but is rare and would be less controversial than a terrorism plot.
what I also havent seen in EE is one of those familys where the father (or mother) kills the entire family due to financial ruin. Its grim and yes, a little "exploitative" but these terrible events are becoming more frequent and it would be interesting to see a drama exploring this!

Only Frank, Janine and Pat have killed someone by running them over. Ricky hasn't yet, so we have that to look forward to.
you DO it then! Your so rude

What do you mean?
Actually this is even better.
