Aura you bleat about how people can't accept your views but you don't show much tolerance for others either then claim you're joking.
I have a fantastic sense of humour but I can't abide constant changing of the goal posts ![]() Quote:
Got to admit, Sean O'Connor seems like an utter nob in the Kirkwood mould.

I am not a fan of Kate Oates and her fetish for affairs personally. Birkwood would be the worst though imo for what he's done to Hollyoaks and what he did to Eastenders, notthat Lorraine Newman or Susan Bower are much ahead of him!

Blackburn got a lot more hate than SOC is getting. Also Newman got a fair bit but I think the cast in EE was a lot stronger back then and she didn't axe many characters from what I remember.
What I find funny is Blackburn was criticised largely for making Corrie really boring, something that SOC is being lauded by for some by making the show more believable. It just goes to show that you can never please soap fans. I can't remember the last time a producer was universally applauded for their work on soap? In fact, its never happened on here! |

Kirkwood was awful... he takes the crown.
Santer and DTC also did a good bit of damage towards the end of their runs. As questionable as a lot of their decisions are, Newman and SOC had to do a lot of rebuilding, it's just a shame a lot of it has been rather slow. |

I'm going with Iain MacLeod, I hate what he's done with Emmerdale with all the crap comedy stuff, focusing on Kerry, and declawing the HBIC.
Now for the US soaps I have to go with Jill Farren Phelps who destroyed so many soaps, One Life to Live, General Hospital, Another World, and Guiding Light. And as bad as I think MacLeod is he can't compare to JFP the soap killer.

Usually when a producer is impending or has just started they are hailed as a savior and universally loved. Then during their tenure they're hated with everyone calling for them to be sacked and replaced. Then after they've gone people look back on their time fondly and suggest they should be reinstated.
That's how it usually goes on these forums. |

Kirkwood. I loath what he did to eastenders and still do. The damage still has lasting effects to this day.
In all the years I had been watching - and I've seen the highs and lows over the years - his era was the show at its lowest ebb. |
