The presenter of that interview said he was Exec Producer of Corrie when Jenny Bradley was introduced, so 1986. Anyone know what his name was? The series producer at the time was John G Temple, and that wasn't him.
That presenter is called David Liddiment. He was EP between 1987 - 1991.

I thought EastEnders had a brilliant episode tonight. I liked seeing all the different relationships in the spotlight, there were some great scenes with strong writing. Billy trying to stop Jay going down the wrong path and reflecting on his own past, Lee's depression and his feelings of self worth as he tries to comes to terms with the possibility of fatherhood. If this is a sign of what's to come from the new EP, then I think there is lots to look forward to.

I really enjoyed watching that soaps secret brands thing, It was really interesting (aside from the boring presenter ) It's a shame the website doesn't have any more of those kind of discussions related to soaps.

I liked how they all had little digs at Kirkwood for the amount of deaths Hollyoaks has, and you could see that Daran Little looked so bored when Blackburn was speaking!

I also really enjoy getting to know what goes on inside an Executive Producers head. I enjoy the interviews where they talk about how they create good characters, good storylines etc.

I really wish there was more of those. Hopefully they'll do another one with all of the new producers

I love them, which is strange because I wasn't so keen when they first joined.

I only watched Hollyoaks tonight, for some reason I couldn't stomach EastEnders.

Hollyoaks was good. I want all of the show's murderers to rise from the dead for a one-off special in which Nico meets a grisly end when they all take it in turns to inflict some kind of pain on her, and then throw her body into a pit of fire to burn.

Both Hollyoaks and EastEnders were good. I didn't really enjoy pantomime Warren in HO but I do like him with Sienna. I really don't know where Mac has got this violent personality from, it's come out of the blue really suddenly.

That would be amazing! All of the people who have been chucked in the lake in the village can rise up from the dead like zombie's and inflict well deserved pain on Nico

Or alternatively Silas can come back again and finish her off

The link is on the previous page, it's a discussion filmed last year between the big four EP's and Daran Little

It's really interesting hearing the perspective of the bosses and the actors (Sally Ann Matthews & Kellie Bright)

I would forgive TPTB for resurrecting dead characters if it was used for that purpose.

As long as we saw Nico's gruesome death on-screen, just to make sure she couldn't return - and TPTB signed a contract, promising never to bring her back. Ever.

I really don't know where Mac has got this violent personality from, it's come out of the blue really suddenly.
I've really started to dislike him recently, he's become a nob.

I would love to see all the past dead characters back just for that reason I agree, that would definitely be an episode I'd watch

I don't know where it has come from, he seemed just a normal family man with a partner who was younger, but now they've changed his personality completely and he seems to just have a go all the time and randomly attack things/people.
