And bisexuality is a dirty word in soaps.

I can't speak for Simon and Tony, but the problem with Sonia and Naomi wasn't just a total lack of chemistry (seriously, the two girls, particularly Natalie Cassidy actually looked uncomfortable with each other) and charisma, but terrible storytelling and a complete lack of anything compelling. I think a storyline can still manage to hold the interest of the viewer if the couple have no chemistry or there's bad writing, but not both.

bib3 - be a lot if it makes you happy, be all the way you, lovely funny glowbot

bib4 - zoe tate from ED, only ever brilliant lesbian in soap as far as i remember. not defined by her sexuality, but not wavering either (she just hadn't met the right man yet or what's known as 'sonia fowler' syndrome, discovered her current man was a tit)...and certainly not created for the joy of straight men.”

BIB 1: ah thanks

BIB 2: Oh yes she was good, a strong character and I think, a positive role model with a tinge of evil to make her appealing and rounded. I didn't see a lot of her but enough to know who she was.
I saw her as a female less slutty Christian

BIB 3 : THIS. I think that's why I don't like S&S.

I only saw a few clips from YT and i have to agree the chemistry was dull as a dishcloth there was nothing. it didn't interested me,the writtng was poor it looked like the writers couldn't deciced we they were heading woth this s/l i just didn't like.

than with chryed the chemistry is of the harts , the writing good , the plot was really good the character were strong they were adults they changed each other for the better man, it tackcled sensitive/conservertal issues. it wowed and intrested me and I liked it. (even at the start i hated it

LOL! Genius post!

Only decent bisexual character I can think of in a soap was Kris from Holloyaks

...however they didn't really give him any decent storylines

....I liked him however because Gerard McCarthy who played him is a fab actor.....plus really hot and has an Irish accent...*swoon*

You should work for a soap. You've got the mentality down.

LOL, you don't mince your words.

I checked the cast lists earlier, and I don't think so.

ROFL!!! soapfans love being underestimated

yes pick them out of a hat, or maybe a game of "lesbian roulette".

This along with the "who is the daddy this time" dartboard of boring plot devices is how they write most soap episodes these days.
