"It seems all the inmates are dysfunctional, the show makes Donald Trump and his cohorts look sane"

I haven't wasted my time in many years watching this, and the "slop" on the other side.

I think the last time I did watch this was when there was a campaign to free Deridre Rachid!

What would you say if I said I’ve NEVER seen an episode of it in my 58 years?

Or Eastenders.

Haven’t watched it for a good while. I think the soaps completely lost their way when they became issue led rather than character driven.

When I think back to some of the characters on the Street and the comic talent that has been replaced by dire scripts. It’s a shame.

You would make a very ruthless producer lol maybe that’s what it needs someone like you get stuck in and kill off all the surplus to requirements…

I probably haven't watched it for nearly 50 years. How's that Deirdre Langton doing, has she fixed her neck yet? I take it that 'our' Brian Tyldesley is doing well, he must be pushing 30 now.

Haven't seen it in a while. Is Alan Bradley ok after being hit by a Blackpool tram?

Wokeism got into all of the soaps and ruined all of them.

I gave up on Corrie, Eastenders and the Archers almost simultaneously.

No regrets whatsoever.....the cast had become idiots or very faded old actors, the scripts idiotic and repetitive especially East Enders

I gave up watching when storylines became too ridiculous and characters were less important.

Watching old in 2008 and admiring Rob James-Collier as Liam connor who’s as fit as fuck
