I think she was supposed to cheat until xmas and then get found out but due to the complaints about the story that was scrapped and then at xmas Alfie find sout the identity of her lover. There isbt much to hook me in either but i'll stay with it in the hope it improves. I do like the Masoods and Fatboy/Poppy/Jay/Abi/Lola are good and interesting characters but im not liking Joey/Alice/Derek/Phil dominating screentime at the mo. So for the sake of these of these characters i do like im staying with it, albeit im struggling.
This thread has been brilliant to be a part of and ive had my 2 kids in the time ive been on here so its hard to leave it. I know it will not be as busy and some people have already gone but i hope for the most part we continue to keep the Chryed name going and our support of Marc and Johnny countinues in this thread.”
BIB: Yeah, me too, pretty much! I remember as a child watching the Wilmott-Brown/Kathy Beale stuff and wondering what was going on and that it was boring (what was my mum thinking

).
When I watched some of the old Chryed stuff, I thought where has the quality gone? Every episode used to be of a high quality, leading the viewer through the story until it got to the finale. Also, the characterization of each character looked smooth and like it had been worked on. Now it feels like we get a lot of low quality characterization and episodes that are a bit meh - it feels like all that matters is the crescendo of the story, not actually
telling it properly and coherently along the way, if you see what I mean. I hope it does improve.
