Did not start working as an actress until she was 50.

RIP Liz.

Haven't watched any of the recent soaps apart from Christmas Day EE.

Feels strangely liberating

Also, the soap section looks an absolute mess of complaints and whining, so no point going there!

When isn't it? I've given up trawling through the repetitive threads to find a decent one. Here's hoping the mods incorporate a section on the forum just for moaning after the update because personally it's just becoming repetitive and boring, there's no point trying to read or get involved when you're either going to get abused, negativity or in most cases both.

Ugh I'm angry and even more angry I'm only like 77% drunk

I don't know what is people's problems in the soap forum. It's as if they pick out the worst in everything. I got told I was immature because of Whitney's phone camera and I said it made her bits look fuzzy. EE is sailing along OK at the moment - do they want Kathleen Hutchinson or Lorraine Newman back? Corrie is improving after Kate Oates has taken over, and Emmerdale has the eye candy.

Even on the EE thread for the episodes, people just whine.

Sadly I've already told the other members of the Trinity (Atti and Grad), and Rick, that I'm considering leaving the forum as it's just constant misery. People were moaning about DTC and wanted him to leave, now they want SOC gone. When SOC goes everyone will want him back and want the new one gone. They can't win, but it really isn't hard to turn off. If you're not enjoying it why are you watching it? And if you're going to watch it why waste time moaning? Even if it is your opinion you don't need to create thread after thread after thread after thread saying the same thing, ruining it for everyone else.

Ugh now I'm hungover ranting.

I agree with everyone above that the soaps forum really is a depressive mess. Like Lea says there's no discussion or debate, it's a competition of who can shout the loudest and people are shut down before any discussion gets going. Apparently us who do like it should move to WW, why? We should be allowed to say what we like without those who don't like it shutting the conversation down and turning it into a screaming fest.

Most FM's moaned when DTC was at the helm and wanted a quiet and fun EE Christmas episode, now it's happened and apparently EE has become a parody! Just last night there was a post that said SOC should be put in the stocks and had rotten fruit thrown at him for what he's done, seriously how pathetic and childish is that? He's made the show 100x better and it is far more enjoyable and engaging that it has been for years. He's not going back to the 1980's either, he is taking the show back to it's core values and principles and refreshing them for a modern audience, there is a difference.

I am sick to death of the negativity and personal attacks, and it's mainly because debate and discussion is shut down, not because we can't handle differing opinions. It's annoying when you post a positive post and you get told that you would be happy with anything, it's not true. Very few of the negative FM's post reasons why they don't like EE and don't listen to others at all, it's just thread after thread of misery and negativity and it's taking over. There's also no humour anymore, like Neil said some posters were calling him immature, what is the point? Let people have a laugh FFS, for some it's the only bit of humour they get in their lives.

The soap section really is going downhill and fast, it needs sorting.

I agree with everything you say. Things just get on your nerves there and you've got some of the Hollyoaks fans thinking EE should be like their show....er Hollyoaks is the way it is as their producer signed a death warrant for EE and he will NEVER be sacked as EP of Hollyoaks as Channel 4 have a very useless controller in Jay Hunt who used all the budget to bid for Bake-off. Hollyoaks is just full of twinky boys, gorgeous girls and is just the British Sunset Beach.

I like a laugh, and I know my comments can be a bit crude and pervy (I got told off for saying I want to lick Lee's hairy chest) but life is about having a laugh. Some people are stuffy and uppity and I hate it. Life is meant for living ffs. If people don't like the show, don't watch! I don't like Hollyoaks so I don't put it on.

To be fair, that's the only place I usually moan as it's relevant to that episode. It's just now people seem to think their opinion deserves whole thread of its own and are so over the top in their opinions.

Yep, a lot of good posters are leaving it, and I think more will continue.

Who are all these posters suddenly making negative threads? I've never seen most of the post before.

Exactly, the forum should be fun, where we can all take the piss out of the soaps but not be aggressive or intimidating.

I think that a fair proportion are PbU's and quite possibly our little troll with a few accounts trying to cause disruption

Quite honestly, TTN and everyone who posts on it have been the only thing that's kept me coming back to DS these last few months. Hopefully 2017 picks up.

But if you'd said you'd wanted to stick your face in Lauren's pert boobs, you would've been called "Cheeky!"

This is it - I am a hairy chest lover and so what - I'm open about my sexuality.

Hi Gleeks - hope you're OK.

2016 is defintely taking some big names - Carrie Fisher so tragic RIP to her.

I had a phonecall tonight, my ex (the one who died) brother has spent Christmas in hospital with his pancreatitis. He didn't sound well on the phone and I was shocked. Funny thing is, I had a feeling as I've not slept all over the Christmas period. He's only 29.

There is a woman on Holby with pancreatitis and it looks very painful

He has had this since July, and this is the fourth time he has been in hospital. This has affected his eyes, his mobility and due to abnormalities in his bloods he has been referred to the cancers department. He is only 29.
