Strange list. I'm over most of those deaths, if not all. Some of the names on the list I can understand, but Rhys Ashworth? Danielle Jones? Gennie Walker? Really?

The title of the article should be rephrased to "13 Soap Deaths I'm Still Not Over". The writer is confusing his personal opinion as the general consensus amongst soap fans.
This.
Another example of quality journalism on DS.

Also, why 13?

Michael Moon for me too!

I had a rather bizarre dream about him not too long ago, where he came back from the dead and demonstrated his new ability to stab himself with knives without getting hurt! Janine was there too so the whole thing was awkward.

Jade from HO will be another one that will remain sad
And me!

BIB - that would make a great storyline!

I'm not over Pauline, Den, Angie, Ethel and Pat. The rest can burn in Hell for all I care.
This is why no one in Walford invites you to read the eulogy anymore!

Meh, it's a crap list. Tiff is the only one on it that I miss, and that's probably only cos of Beaconboof!

In Home and Away's near 30 year history, they picked a guest character who died 24 years ago! I could think of countless people from the Bay who's death was sadder.
The title and content of the article is the teen click bait garbage that DS seems to have lowered itself to these days

Does 'not over' have to mean in a sad way? Because there are a few soap deaths that still make me smile as I was so glad they happened.

I can safely say I'm over all of those listed Bennie's s was shocking, but I couldn't stand the character so I don't miss her.

The only death I'm not over is Robbie Lawson in Emmerdale.
What a waste.

I'll never be over it.

Max from Hollyoaks for me. I haven't watched it since and I still can't listen to that Sugababes song!

Emmerdale's Valerie Pollard. I will never be able to move on.
I agree. I thought killing off Val was totally unnecessary. I thought the character still had a lot left to give and i thought Val bought a lot to Emmerdale.

They haven't just killed off Val either though. Since she was killed off, Eric has become non existent at times. He barely features anymore.

Lou.
Steve.
Den.
Angie.
Ethel.
Dennis.
Pauline .
Pat.
Michael.

Yet the Philth still breathes - there is truly no justice either in this appalling real world or even the fictional one.

Idgaf when Danielle died, she was annoying mouse like character who was stupid enough to not even try to move out the way when she saw the car coming.

They could atleast offer a helpline number to call for those who struggle to cope.

Yeah, some of the articles on DS do come across a bit lazy sometimes. Their movie reviews annoy me the most.

But getting back to the "Soap deaths" article, I think they should've turned it into a poll. Yes, the poll would be pretty extensive, but they did one for "Who is the Greatest TV character of the 21st century?" and it worked fine.

Indeed, the spirit of Tiffany and her Activia commercials live on through Beaconboof .

No doubt The Boofster is sitting in her living room right about now watching old clips of Tiffany while eating through a load of Activia yogurts .
