Re: Soap Characters 70-90s

I used to be obsessed with Families. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Families_%28TV_series%29

That show was better than any of them, particularly the story around Charles Bannerman having an affair with his son's fiancee. When all that came out, it was a brilliant episode.
Jude Law was in the early episodes, but he wasn't great in it, you'd never guess he would be the one to go on to major fame. Anyone else a fan of this show in the 90s?

I would like to know what the characters in Coronation Street used to watch at 7.30pm, on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday?

Gail is one ugly creature she looks like ET after a stroke, where do the peeps in Corrie park their Cars too? cause you never see them outside the houses in the street.

I always liked Trevor in Eastenders he was soo evil he was great.

I agree. I used to work at Granada Studios Tour and saw the cast a lot, she is soooooo up herself she can taste her own poo and those blinks!!!!Urgh!!!!!

I can't stand gail in Corrie. I stop watching when she's in the main storyline. She looks as old as her mother Audry who must be 70 + and still working!
I'd love to know how many bedrooms they have as some houses accommodate loads of people. Like No1 with the Barlows, Peter and Simon, at one point and Blanche.

Patricia from Sons and Daughters... greatest soap character all the way. The biggest bitch ever in soap world yet somehow irresistably sexy at the same time

Re: Soap Characters 70-90s

I've met Paul Henry (Benny) a few times as he used to live near me and we shared the same Pub!
He's a real friendly Guy - Shakesperian actor to boot and also Ronnie Barkers first choice to play Lennie Godber in Porridge

I've always thought Richard Beckinsale, although good, didn't have the right look for Godber. I'm with Ronnie, PH would have fit the bill. I can only vaguely remember him as Benny in Crossroads. I never took much notice of the show but my nanna always had it on. I named her budgie after Benny.

Re: Soap Characters 70-90s

I quite like some of the villains. My all-time favourite has to be Nick Cotton in Eastenders, he's so cruel to his mum, or, as he says, "ma". He's a loveable rogue.
