Ooh thanks for this

It's illegal at how much of a stunner Kate Oates. Gorgeous woman.

Only watched the first 10 minutes so far but I agree with SB's comment at 9:52

There are some interesting comments that make me think and many I agree with from each of the EP'S

I would love to know who DTC was going to kill off, but decided not to.

Love Kirkwoods comment at 12:18 that HO viewers have short attention spans. The ds audience don't but they obviously think we do.

I can imagine whilst Daran is saying about Corrie's history Blackburn is just sat there like 'when did this happen?'

Thanks for posting this OP. I've just watched the first half so far, but it's a fascinating insight into the Soaps and I think all the producers very much know what they're talking about. Unsurprisingly (to me anyway) Daran Little talks a huge amount of sense.

Through watching it, i got the impression that DTC really likes the sound of his own voice and I don't mean that in a good way.

It was probably for the best, unless it was Dean

Interesting what Kellie Bright says about approaching the writers/producer about what they feel a character wouldnt do, I've often wondered if an actor had that opportunity in the soap world.

I thought Michael Le Vell might have remembered Baby Jake and raised this after reading the script where Kevin forgets he existed.

I wonder who Daran Little is talking about when he mentions the actor being sacked from Corrie?

Daran has written some absolutely amazing Eastenders episodes this year

I think corrie miss him

The only person i instantly thought of was Martin Platt. The actor was shown the door when he objected to a storyline. I could be wrong.

Fantastic video. Wish it was another hour.

Martin was on screen for more than 10 years though wasn't he?

Me too! I'm wracking my brains now. Someone who had been there 10 years.

Oh, just seen Little-monster's suggestion of Martin Platt. That would make sense. Were he and Daran Little both there around that time?

I disagree tbh. I don't like or watch EE but I thought he was extremely articulate and clearly knows the Soap business very well.

He was fired for an inappropriate rap that found its way onto the internet, IIRC he was called 'The Phantom'.

But the case Darran Little was talking about was because they refused to do a storyline

Seen all the others in interviews of some kind before but Sally Ann Matthews seems lovely in real life from seeing her out of character for the first time here.

Did Birkwood really say that his viewers have short attention spans?
