I do! The current one sounds like it's been remixed for the Soap Awards

No over the top dialogue and the majority of the emotion coming from facial expression.

Yeah that's good. So believable, it's definitely like they weren't acting on there
We don't need explosive funerals, strip away all the unnecesaieies and you can produce some of the finest 'drama' for years to come

He definitely did deserve that
Alan did too though, the longest serving actor of the soap
I have to admit, if Clive died now though, I can't imagine we would get anything near the quality we got like Clive did a few years ago
It just gets merged and turned into some big slanging match with some younger characters and a big secret revealed. It's like they don't think we have the maturity to sit through an episode without those kinds of things
