What would you do if your favourite soaps ended permanently?

I often read on here about pathetic moans about Emmerdale, Coronation Street or Eastenders being moved around for sport and shows like Britain's got talent, but how would you feel if ITV announced Emmerdale or Corrie were to finish soon, or for the BBC to stop showing Eastenders?

When Emmerdale or Coronation Street are moved around, I don't mind as I often find else to watch if the 'replacement programme' is not my taste? (i.e Rugby World Cup).

I'd finally get round to joining the Open University and get that degree in Astrophysics.

hope it gets a good ending, but its really hard to see any of the big 3 ending any time soon, TV without them almost seems unimaginable

I'd think it was a shame but hardly the end of the World - everything ends. It'd be odd not having them to watch (they do take up a lot of time during the weekday evenings) but something else would fill the gap.

It's not really hypothetical for me anyway as i'm old enough to have seen several soaps come,and go - I loved Dynasty and Sons and Daughters both of which were cancelled and I managed to not have a breakdown over it!

I watched dear old Crossroads for about 17 years.....I was sad at its demise. But I soon recovered and started watching Emmerdale and Corrie!

Sunset Beach and Sons & Daughters were sad endings too!

I abstained when soaps started airing. I made a promise to myself that it would never ever ever happen again until the wretched things were all axed.

Can we please all stop talking about my personal life - what I do or don't do in the privacy of my own home is my business and no-one elses. Thanks.

I'm so very sorry JB. I forgot about your delicate and sensitive nature. I think I've worked out what JB stands for as well.

Move on
I hardly watch any of them live anymore. Haven't got the time, I'm sure I'll find another escape

A lot assume it's Joey Branning which infuriates me no end as there is a marked difference between an incomprehensible waste of space and an upstanding member of the community. I'll let you decide which is which

Hmmm, given your current predicament I was thinking J**z Blockage!
Yes, you can be a bit of a Joey!

EastEnders is the only soap I watch I've been a huge fan for 16 years and I follow it religiously.


I'd probably get onto YouTube and watch the whole thing over from the start!

Watch something else or read or do crosswords or something!

The BBC are bound to give Shane Richie another job even if it's just another game show!

It did (Brookside) and I survived as I was wise enough to have shared my loyalty with Hollyoaks and Emmerdale.

Never put all yer eggs in one basket folks!
