They are time consuming pish
I gave up completely when they started trying to claim every night for a soap night!
Bring back Eldorado!
Nite nite all
I loved Corrie, never missed it, when the real characters were in it...Hilda and Stan, Vera and Jack...those were the days.
EE was good when Den and Angie were in it.
I watched both for a few years after those days but I`ve got no interest in them noo!
Pish
Hollyoaks isn't a soap
I try to limit myself to only one.
Stenders.
HOLLYOAKS is facing the axe because of falling ratings and failed characters, insiders revealed yesterday.
New Channel 4 chief Jay Hunt - who takes up her post next week - is said to have the teen soap in her sights.
A source told TV Biz last night: "Jay wants to make her mark on the channel when she arrives and Hollyoaks is a definite target for her.
"There has been unease within Channel 4 for a while about the soap's direction."
Panicked chiefs at production company Lime Pictures - which also makes ITV2's The Only Way Is Essex - moved to try to breathe new life into the Chester-based show on Thursday ahead of former BBC1 controller Jay's arrival.
They replaced series producer Paul Marquess, who had been in the job for only a year but had been criticised for axing 11 characters and bringing in new faces who viewers do not like.
Ratings for the show - on air since 1995 - have recently dipped below 1million.
Marquess also brought back villain Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas), who fans had been led to think was dead.
The source said: "Lime bosses are panicking that Jay Hunt will axe Hollyoaks as it is the biggest show they make.
As for the others ,I watched Corrie when the tram disaster was on,never watched it since.
EE and the others ....not a chance.
If they brought back Brookie ,then yes ,I would definately watch that.
I think
