Should They Introduce Celebrities To A Soap
Do you think that producers of a soap should get celebrities to appear in an episode of their soap production?
I think it is good but they should possibly introduce a celebrity once a year rather than frequently like Corrie did with Peter Kay and Honor Blackman. Anyway it is still nice to see some other acting skills brought into TV rather than film. |

It some sort of way It does help their boost for acting, but usually they are pretty crap. I'll say half and half.

I think now and again but really I prefer my soaps with unknowns, even if they are shit sometimes. Having said that Barbara Windsor was famous before she joined EastEnders. I don't mind celebs who are famous or who were famous a few years back, but I wouldn't like to see popular modern day celebs starting to appear in the soaps. Peter Kay was good for his guest appearance though but I'm glad it was only for a few episodes.

I'm sticking to my idea that Mr Tarantino should guest direct an episode of Coronation Street. It'd have to be a late night special of course!

I think it depends on who the celebrity is and what their storyline will be. Some celebrities work well in soaps, others just look out of place.

If a celebrity is brought in to boost ratings, but comes with genuine talent, then I think nobody can complain really. Again, like you said.. a lot depends on the plot too.
