*This is NOT a soap VS Soap Thread*

As seen from the Fantastic DS awards that Dullagj2 ran last weekend DS has quite a good soap Community but there are still some people that hasn't managed to
Introduce themselves so i thought it would be nice for everyone (That wants to) to Introduce themselves a little here.

I watch EE, Corrie, ED and HO.
My all time fave soap moment was when Steve McDonald was slapped by Eileen and his head looked like it was spinning 360 degrees.
I would like The Bill to return, I for one didn't think it was quite finished yet.
I'm 28 (born in July 1985).
I'm from Salford in Manchester, and I'm male.

I thought you were older for some reason

Yeah The Bill should return....

Random.

I am a random guy I just couldn't Imagine many 28 year olds ThisMorning Fans

I'm not a This Morning fan, I just couldn't think of anything else for my username.

Fair enough

I watch the 4 main soaps, EE, ED, CS and HO.

HO is my favourite at the moment. Fast paced and interesting, albeit a bit to much when it comes to psychos, murders etc. ED is close 2nd though, it's doing very well IMO!

*Who are your Top 5 All Time Favourite Soap Characters ?

Loving Ronnie Mitchell being back on my screen, Jean Slater (although she's just gone ), Nancy Osbourne (HO) even though she seems to have not featured very much of late (looking forward to the continuation of this S/L), quite liking Freddie and Sinead (HO) and I never thought i'd say that about either of them. SL's have helped a great deal! Acting improving lots with Freddie.

Is 'The Bill' regarded a soap? I'd love love love for this to return! Although if this happened some of the soaps would lost a lot of their cast lol bit of a reunion going on at EE what with Diane Parish, Scott Maslen, Tony O'Callaghan and Lisa Maxwell all appearing or due to appear.

Young, sweet and innocent 25 (1988)

Male

Little Isle of Thanet right on the tip of Kent, SE England.

Edit:- Read it wrong, thought it asked what my favourite soap was at the moment. My favourite soap moment was that of Sarah Barnes demise in HO Later. Brilliant brilliant stuff and had me shocked for a long time afterwards!

If you want to know anything about me ring me. I don't have a phone. That's your mission: find me

Glad you said Tip of kent because I would never have known

Not that Young....Dunno about the other two

I guess so...The Bill wasn't a soap but I guess you can regard it as

I know where you are....Lesleys knickers

Oi! Be nice lol... I am YOUNG! and I refuse to be told otherwise

Your mother wears Lesley's knickers.

Only kidding...25 is a young age and I am not too far a head of you


...Now where did I put that red button

I watch Hollyoaks and Coronation Street. Normally see Emmerdale omnibus at weekends, but don't specifically try and watch it, just if it's on. Dip in and out of Eastenders if I hear of anything interesting happening. Used to watch River City but missed a few weeks and couldn't be bothered trying to get back in to it. Catch the odd episode of Doctors depending on where I'm working and if the TV is on in the house I'm at. Goodness, I sound like I don't have a life outside of soap!
I'm 30yo male from West Scotland.
My favourite soap moment was Sarah's parachute death in Hollyoaks. For a character I never really bothered about, her death stunt was brilliant.
I'd like Brookside to return.
All time fave characters : Kim Tate (ED), Jambo (HO), Pat Evans (EE), Darren Osborne (HO) and David Wicks (EE)
Current faves: Darren Osborne (HO), David Platt (CS), Nicola King (ED), Nancy Osborne (HO) and Cindy Cunningham (HO)
Although my my opinions on all these change daily as I'm a very fickle guy!

Dan, 21 from Devon but currently living in Norfolk. I watch Eastenders and I have no interest in watching anything else. I treat it more as a guilty pleasure than anything.

I think my all time favourite character is Ronnie Mitchell played by the incredibly talented Samantha Womack. My favourite scene is probably when Chrissie, Sam and Zoe ganged up on Den. My favourite era of the show is from 2003 to 06 which is controversial, I know! But I just loved the gangster era.

Fair enough...You got a nice Guilty Pleasure but why feel guilty about watching EastEnders


Not really...I suspect there are some people on DS that will watch all 7 soaps daily

We are all fickle

I watch 3 and a half soaps, hollyoaks emmerdale corrie and I'm a part time eastenders viewer these days!

All time favourite soap moment is Brendan's exit in hollyoaks

5 favourite characters are 1) Brendan Brady 2) Mitzeee miniver 3) Jacqui McQueen 4) Clare Devine (original stint) 5) Blanche from corrie

5 favourite present characters are 1) Kerry from emmerdale 2) ste hay 3) sinead o'connor 4) David corrie 5) Carla corrie

Axed soap I would like returned woud be brookside although I liked night and day and family affairs

I'm 26, from Liverpool and im a man baby!

Hi I am Matt, 39 from London.

I watch EE, Corrie & Neighbours.

Favourite Soap moment is a tough one but probarly something from Corrie or EE.

Channel 5 should bring back Brookside- in the mid 90's it was gripping television with some amazing storylines.

Didn't like either


Agree about Brookside but not on Channel 5...Perhaps BBC or ITV could revive it

EE,Corrie,Oaks (sometimes Neighbours/WR)

Stax Reveal, Mad Maya, Clare first stint, Hannah anorexia SL, EE live, Silas SL

Michael Moon, Janine Moon, Jacqui Mcqueen, Brendan Brady, Carla Connor, (Blanche Hunt)

Michael Moon, Slyvia Cropper, Carla Connor, Janine Moon, Patrick Blake

20, Londonnnn.. female

I watch Corrie, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks , my favourite at the moment is Emmerdale. I would like to see The Bill return!

I'm 18, female and currently live in Carlisle

And we all know why don't we dan, none of them were made by the BBC I bet you would of approved if ild of said el dorado

Hey I was a big fan of Brookside...Even stayed up till after Midnight at times just to catch it and if I remember rightly it was on Channel4 (which now have NO decent shows at all imo)

Emmerdale.
Its the only one that I never miss.
Coronation Street I dont watch regularly, even though I still record episodes, and sometimes I'll dip in and watch quite a few back to back if it seems like a good storyline. I tend to keep up with whats happening from the tv mags.
Eastenders I was an avid viewer. I dont even keep up with whats happening anymore. Hollyoaks the same, I dont even know who is who anymore.

My top 5 all time favs have to be

Carl King (emmerdale)
Barry Grant (brookside)
Kim Tate (emmerdale)
Fred Elliot, I say, Fred Elliot (corrie)
Matthew King (emmerdale) coz thought Matt Healy who played him was gorgeous. No other reason.

My top 5 currently

Hard to say as no one really stands out, and I only watch one soap regularly, so probably a little one sided.

Cain Dingle, an obvious choice.

There really is no one else I can think of.


Axed that I would like to return is The Bill. I really cant see why that wouldnt work.

Am female, age wise am old enough to know my own mind.

And live not a stones throw from the lovely city of Newcastle upon Tyne.
