worst ever soap stunts
what are ure worst ever soap stunts
did richard hillmans canal dive leave u cold. or did corries factory fire leave u wishing the entire stunt team had gone up in smoke. here are my top 5 5 - nick cottons viaduct plunge 2nd jan 2002 Eastenders built this up to be something huge. what we got was an obvious dummy being thorwn froma bridge 4 - richard hillmans death 14 march 2003 the actual crash was ok but it was the underwater scenes that were the let down. in one shot u cud see an airtank on the floor. and when gail was rescued and she was coudhing and spluttering u could tell by the echoey voices that they were inside. rubbish 3 - graham clarks clifftop plunge 18th feb 2000 i was so excited bout seein graham finally bow out in a blaze of glory. but what i got was rubbish. when the car first ends up on the cliff u can see a saftey rope tied to the car. and when it went over the edge there camera coverage was so poor u could appreciate the spectacle. 2 - corries factory fire 8th march 2004 what went wrong. the press and the producers had said that this was goin to be huge. it was very very poor. [SIZE=3]1 racel hughes clifftop plunge 11th may 1999 the worst soap stunt of the lot. it was obviosly not actress glenda mkcay who fell from grecae and u could tell. when graham pushed her she stumbled backwards for about 4 meteres before taking a deliberate dive. when she landed u could hear the woosh of the airbag. this had the potential to be sooo spectacular. i mean it doesnt take much effot to dub over the airbag with a sickening thud. very poor[/SIZE] anyone got there lists? |

What about the car crash into the canel in eastenders a few years ago? I dont watch the program so I dont know who died/ injured but I remember seeing it at the time and there was loadsa bright orange cables in the shot used to turn the car in the air as it crashed into the water.

Don't forget Des in the Street died when his head hit a little plastic stool.
I'm too young to remember this (I think! ) but I have heard of the Ken Barlow Punch (i think it was mike he punched) anyone remember.The Emmerdale storm was a bit overrated I thought. Jez in Corrie what an exit that was. I think that ITV2 sometimes show Corrie Exits. |

That bit was daft but he actually died from a heart attack.

As the van did a 360 degree spin the stuntman's crash helmet could be clearly seen through the windscreen
