I was browsing Walford Web and saw this game. I think a DS version could be just as brilliant:

I will list eight questions and all you have to do is PM me your answers. The goal of the game is to choose the answer you think MOST people will choose and thus earn the biggest possible points total.

Here’s an example: Name a soap pub.
The Queen Vic: 20
The Woolpack: 12
The Rovers Return: 10

20 people answered The Queen Vic which was the top answer. Each poster who said The Queen Vic will receive 20 points and so on. Every poster has earned at least 10 points. Think Family Fortunes. You must PM me your votes or they won’t be counted. The first season will last 12 weeks with a new round every weekend. Voting will close each Friday, with results posted that weekend along with a leaderboard. All soaps are game but you are trying to choose the TOP answer.

Round One

1. Name a soap icon, past or present.
2. Name a soap pet, dead or alive.
3. Name a current soap business which isn’t a pub.
4. Name a recognisable DS soap forum poster. (You know their posts without seeing their username)
5. One word to describe DS soap forums.
6. Name a soap star who has done Strictly or I’m a Celeb.
7. Name a soap character who has died onscreen in the past 5 years.
8. Name a DS Soap thread longer than five pages.

Voting closes Friday at 10pm. PM me your answers.


Please post if you have voted to keep the thread bumped. Best of luck!

Round One Results:
15 entries received. Thanks.

1. Name a soap icon past or present
Pat Butcher- 4
Den Watts: 2
Hilda Ogden- 2
Ian Beale: 2
Ken Barlow- 1
Mrs. Fanshaw- 1
Elsie Tanner: 1
Peggy Mitchell: 1
Dot Cotton: 1

Pat was the top answer. Doctowhofan, Cal, thought it would be a good idea to choose Cockroach but DS don’t agree that 57 years of soap service makes you an icon. Ben96 chose Mrs. Fanshaw, what made him think that was a good idea? Someone has been hypnotised by a silky secret….

2. Name a soap pet, dead or alive
Wellard: 4
Eccles: 4
Lady Di: 2
Schmeichel: 2
Ethel’s willie: 1
Hercules: 1
Roly: 1

DS are well-ard but we also like a bit of eccles cake at our nan’s. Sw had Ethel’s willie on her mind and 0…0 is still mourning for Hercules, alone it seems.

3. Name a current soap business which isn’t a pub
The Arches: 4
The Kabin: 4
Roy’s Rolls: 2
Underworld: 2
The Loft: 1
Shirley Carter Aquababies: 1
The Laundrette: 1

A tie at the top! Danny thought it would be wise to choose a Hollyoaks business while 0…0 decided to invent a business for Shirley Carter, Queen Drowner. Ozboz chose the Laundrette which we never see anymore unless we need a pop-up restaurant.

4. Name a recognisable DS soap forum poster
J-B- 6
Cool_mate: 2
CollieWobbles: 1
Vald:1
Scrabbler: 1
Ianradioian: 1
0…0- 1
Vaslav: 1
Notdebbiedingle: 1

J-B was the top answer but he was too modest to choose himself. It’s ok to choose yourself J-B if needs must. Everyone else must try harder to be recognisable.

5. One word to describe DS soaps forum
Banter- 1
Entertaining- 1
Fun: 1
Funny: 1
Lively: 1
EE skewed: 1
Soapy: 1
Demented: 1
Brilliant: 1
Volatile: 1
Hilarious: 1
Fabulous: 1
Friendly: 1
Eventful: 1
Happy: 1

We couldn’t decide on one word. Sw couldn’t decide on one word and used two. I guess it’s a volatile, demented, hilarious, eventful, lively yet happy, brilliant, soapy and fabulous asylum. There’s certainly lots of soap on the Emmerdaily and Through the night threads.

6. Name a soap star who has done Strictly or I’m a Celeb
Georgia May Foote- 3
Kellie Bright- 3
Antony Cotton: 3
Charlie Brooks: 2
Danny Mac-1
Letitia Dean: 1
Jill Halfpenny: 1
Helen Flanagan: 1

Antony Cotton has been voted a top answer on DS! Danny chose Danny Mac who hasn’t actually done Stictly yet although he’s about to. Are you Danny Mac in disguise? CollieWobbles chose Jill Halfpenny although I suspect many forumers were crawling around in their nappies and sticking crayons up their nose when she won Strictly.

7. Name a soap character who died onscreen in the past five years
Peggy Mitchell- 6
Kylie Platt- 3
Deirdre Barlow- 2
Lucy Beale- 1
Pat Butcher- 1
Nick Cotton- 1
Tina Mc Intyre: 1

Queen Peggy tops the vote. Technically, Deirdre didn’t die onscreen but this isn’t the correct answers game.

8. Name a DS Soap thread longer than five pages
Through the night thread- 7
Corrie Spoilers- All You Need To Know- 2
Stella Week: 2
Corrie- Suspension of Reality- 1
Emmerdaily: 1
Vaslav’s thoughts on Ann Mitchell/Cora Cross: 1
British Soap Awards 2016 Spoiler Thread: 1

Through the night was the obvious choice and best top answer of round one. Well done doctorwhofancal and sam_gee for recognising my Corrie Spoiler thread. No bonus points I’m afraid. The iconic Stella Week will never be forgotten and lewsimacf had the most obscure answer of the round with the BSA Spoiler thread. Remember peeps, the goal is to find the top answer and score the maximum points!

Congrats BadLadAsh

Dullagj I'll have you know that I was not hypnotized, It's common knowledge that Mrs Fanshaw is the most iconic character ever to grace the cobbles.

Looking forward to round 2
