Soaps

Does anyone watch either Emmerdale or Coronation street on a regular basis?? I need a good natter about them with someone and every time I ask people I tend to just be laughed at. Anyone else as sad as me and watch them?? Or even Eastenders, although that one is more depressing it is unreal.

 

Gah! They're all unreal. I can't stand the things, personally. Sorry heather

 

I don't like them much either.
I just find them really annoying and overly dramatic.

 

Oww, you two are boring. I am watching Emmerdale right now and Grayson is framing Matthew for killing Rosemary (even though she is in Miami) because he is having an affair with his wife and they are gunna run off with the baby that Katie is having for them. It is simple really and not at all dramatic

 

...that means nothing to me, not knowing who any of them are

 

OOOOH soapy shows.
a friend came over once turned on my tv to a soapy show and the tv promptly went on the fritz.
no I don't watch them. used to sometimes watch coronation street but that was years ago. It is quite a hit in Canada though. Once CBC took it off the air for a show of something else important and they got so many emails and snail mail letters they never did that again.
British soaps are better than american ones though. Just the accents are harder to figure out.

 

Hehe, i cannot tell the difference between the accents myself but I was brought up watching Friends. And I know Corrie is popular in Canada although they are behind on it. When my great auntie comes over from there she is always complaining as it ruins next months shows.

 

I used to watch "heartbeats" and I still watch touch of frost, midsumner murders, and a police show with a white haired star. can't remember the name for the life of me.
Also Rosemary and Thyme is really interesting.
I do enjoy the british shows a lot. They are more relaxing than the American ones and I understand the humour a bit more. Never could watch friends or seinfeld. they never did anything or say much that made sense.

 

Hehe, Midsomer Murders. There can't be anyone alive in that village any more

And I agree, British shows are better

 

I once watched the Bill does that count

My eldest watches Neighbours like its a religion. But then I used to watch it when i was much younger like school age. Back then it was the Robinsons and the Ramseys.

Max Ramsey
Jim Robinson
Helen Daniels
Scot and paul Robinson
Des and Daphne
Shane

I actually remember that. And those characters.

Bang

Hehe, I never watched Neighbours but I was fairly young when it was took off air. My mates are obbseed with Hollyoaks but I can't get into that one.

 

Hehe, Hollyoaks was filmed near where I used to live. We even saw one of the actors in Nandos. But since I don't watch it, I couldn't say who it was

 

Neigbhours has never been taken off the air its been on weekly for years many years.

It used to be on at 1pm and repeated the following morning at 9.00am in the UK then it was replaced from 9.00am and started showing at 5.35pm and has remained that ever since.



*Reloads Hand Gun Pulls Trigger Once More*
Bang. Bang, bang, bang, bang.
*Falls To The Floor*

 

S**t, sorry, got them mixed up. what was the one that got took of the air, with the fat guy who owns the kebab shop in Corrie in it??

And neighbours and Home Away blag head a bit. The accent is lethal though

 

That was Brookside

 

hehe,, thanks. I knew someone would know. That one I didn't like either.

Speaking of soaps, I am watching Eastenders now. Well, it is on, I actually have some tunage on.

 

My nan used to force me to watch Brookside and Home and Away when I used to go round to her house after school!

I not a big fan of soaps but if Hollyoaks is on I'll watch it.

 

Too many baldies on Eastenders. Ruins it for the rest of us

 

Hahaa. It is soo depressing though. I mean, when was the last time you saw someone smile on that programme.

 

Tonight actually. Mind you it was a baby suffering with wind.

That Ian Beale. I wouldn't get sick of punching his head

 

Hahaa,, Honey's was that? Don't tell me you watch it anyways. or does the missus force you?? My dad always moans about it but gets really into it.

 

I see them all.Usually twice. Actually I auditioned for a part in Eastenders ..............................................Wellard

 

Haha, seriously or are you joshing me?? If so, you so should have got it, let us Northeners show them a bit of class.

 

When I got there they told me they wanted a dog not somebody who was just dog rough

 

Hahaa. poor you, wouldn't want to be in that anyways. We should start our own soap and call it The Northie Moors.
