Family Affairs let viewers decide the outcome of a storyline last year. As far as I know though (I didn't watch it at the time), it only affected a few episodes, the end result following that would have been the same either way.

Hopefully they'll get better website to go with it.
I mean EE's is a mass of old clips, silly games and information, while Corrie's (and E'dales) does leave a lot to be desired.

Yeh, you were allowed to 'choose' whether a bloke (forget his name, he has since left) would choose Yasmin or Geri. However it was all irrelevant in the end, in the way you say.

Like mikebuk's idea though

I think he was called Mark, a rather hunky builder if I recall.

And Yasmins fella before that (whos' name I have now forgot) was the copper in Eastenders who got Paul to grass and then took Patrick to ID the body 2 weeks ago.

I like the idea of interactive soaps! Maybe not directly choosing the storylines, but definitely pop idol style voting off the least popular characters!

WHO DIES?! YOU DECIDE!

To Vote For Gail: Press the red button or text GAIL to 50771

To Vote for Angela: Press the orange button or text ANGELA to 50772

and join Davina at 7:30 on Friday for the result, where one character will be murdered! lol

You see this is why they shouldn't go interactive.

Oh my. It actually does seem like it could be a good idea if they use all the God awful characters! (Seriously- I would actually hate any soap to do this though).

lmao! oh dear, and then the character i.e. Scooter has to come out an meet Davina "So Scooter! you're gay!!! what will Sarah do now??" *Scooter goes to answer* Davina: "Actually! no need, because that is up to YOU at home, the lines have reopened for a shock surprise vote! The cast are in there, they don't know whats going to happen"

"So what does Sarah do?

For her to stick her head in Bethanys sandpit, text SAND to 50772 or press the syrese button on your remote!"

For Sarah to hang herself using her Gail's knickers, text GAIL'S KNICKERS to 50773, or press the Wine colour button on your remote!"

Or, give Sarah the BOOT by having her put on a bus out of Weatherfield, text BOOT THE BITCH to 50774, or press the black and white button on your remote!"

I'll be back at 8:30pm for an Evil episode of Coronation Street!" Crowd chants "Boot the bitch, boot the bitch"

I'm surprised that ITV haven't gone interactive on the Weather yet:

If you'd like it to rain tomorrow, text Rain
For snow, text Snow
etc etc
