Sandy being Darren's mum in hollyoaks.
Bringing in Big Bob (I'm still having nightmares)
Phelan not bulldozing Anna and Owen's house and taking Anna with him.
Most of the Roscoes in hollyoaks
The Nazirs in coronation street.
Do not refer to an executive producer as I with most people wouldn't want BK to return to hollyoaks. Or Lorraine Newman to go to EastEnders. Stuart Blackburn at coronation Street and emmerdale. All of those ones.

He had so much potential when he returned.
I agree- given how well Dean's return has gone, and that 3 20something actors are leaving already in the next 6 months, it seems premature on the part of DTC to put a returning character in a position where their remaining in the show seems untenable. Dean has so much more potential but given this sl can he realistically stay much longer??
Heartily agree
Biggest mistakes for me in recent years:
EE - Peggy not dying in the Vic fire
Corrie - Tracy getting released from prison
Mercedes' death,
Sonny bloody Valentine,
Blake Twincest,
Killing off Pat Evans,
Killing off Carl King,
Tracy released from prison,
Sorry OP but the BBC appointing BK as the new ep of EastEnders, it's still recovering from his decisions now as mentioned above.
I would love to hear DTC's reasons for what he's done to Dean and the thinking behind it.
I am not sure you can say that, because even if she wasnt dead, Pam had chosen to leave so would still not be in the show anyway. you can't force actors to stay on the show
I think making sophie inCorrie a lesbian was a massive mistake, I get the sian story and the love between them but that didnt mean she couldnt go back to men. then if she had we wouldnt have had jenna, her mum or maddie
Killing off Carl King and under using him for months.
Killing off Pat Evans.
Killing off Kathy Beale, Angie Watts, Cindy Beale and Mark Fowler off screen.
Axing Brookside.
Marlon Dingle in general being alive and ruining Ashley Thomas in the process.
Coronation Streets obsession with male killers every few years after the last one... John, Stape, Tony Gordan, and Karl Munroe. Bad boys like Charlie Stubbs and Alan Bradley seem a thing of the past. Owen Armstrong is the only macho man and he is leaving.
Corries obsession with loving women and hating men. Has it always been that way?
Eastenders should have never killed off Lucy Beale.
Hollyoaks should have never bought back Theresa McQueen.
Bringing back Theresa McQueen
Killing off Carmel McQueen
HO Twincest
Not ending the domestic abuse storyline with Maxine's wedding day revelation. Everything since that point has been unnecessary.
Nancy's affair with Rick
Remarrying Darren and Nancy to split them again a few episodes later
Joe/Freddie/Lynsey triangle
Pam had every intention of returning though!
I liked Sonny Valentine but he was ruined the moment they knew Teresa McQueen was returning, I hate that character, Her return is one more added to the list actually!
Do u mean Big Bob from River City ( bbc Scotland Soap)
This ^^^ imagine what it would have been like now, then again, it's probably better off dead, knowing what HO is like.
The only good thing BK has done is remove the teenage soap tag. A mixture of both is much better.
Brookside just needed a rest and good producer. If the next 6 months had to be rubbish while stuff behind the scenes were sorted for it to slowly get better then so be it.
I liked The Murrays and the bullying plot despite the low figures.
The Murrays were a bit like the Carters today really.
Like you say, all it needed was to sort itself out. But of course, Phil Redmond comes back & has a siege/helicopter crash which didn't really help the show tbf.
Imagine if BK was around in those days?
It was fun but what was needed was long term plans. I loved that show even in it's later days.
Oh no I'm talking about Robert Gupta from hollyoaks Britain's scariest villain. And his tragic story of his death and the sad mourning of Nana Gupta.
I don't agree with that.
Just because the producers made a mistake with Jenna does not make the original decision a mistake.
A worse decision would have been to make her turn back to men.
As for Maddie. I quite like her.
However I do think having Sophie turn to religion was a mistake.
I know, it would have been even more sensationalist than what it was, but then it toned down a bit really after the bullying plot. I wonder how many victims have actually killed their bullies though?
2003 was okay actually. It had the characters who were pretty fun to watch. I watched all of the last 3 years on YouTube & I particularly liked Bev & her son Josh & their storyline together.
I remember Bev and Josh and their neighbor was the Doctor who called Josh a "delinquent." I just started high school but remember being shocked as I new he was naughty haha.
