All soaps back then knew how to celebrate the holidays. Like you said even Halloween was fun. That warmth is long gone from today's soaps. I would love to see the costume ball as well. I would love to see all the ladies at the ball dressed up as Cleopatra I must say ATWT was in nice shape before DM. The more i see of SBH's run the more i like it.

Kelsey always came across as a bland and underdeveloped character to me. Pairing her with the last Jamie and later with John didn't help. Lorna was a force of nature. Until she was declawed.

That dark over the top stories started in the mid 2000's. Corrie St of 60's thru early 2000 used a lot humor. It's sad to see the show so humorless and dark.

Coronation Street's Pat Phelan murders Andy after he shoots Vinny in shocking scenes 'too dark and violent for pre-watershed' Andy finally did evil Pat's bidding and killed Vinny, but he was then shot dead by the builder Kyle O'Sullivan Rose Hill 21:06, 27 OCT 2017 UPDATED22:28, 27 OCT 2017 Tment lads on tour pierce their mate's nip ANDY SHOOTS VINNY BEFORE HE'S MURDERED BY EVIL PHELAN Get Soaps updates directly to you Coronation Street aired potentially it's darkest ever scenes tonight as Pat Phelan murdered Andy Carver. In some sinister scenes, Phelan finally revealed his bloody revenge plan for Vinny Ashford, but it was too much for some viewers. Phelan wasn't planning to get his own hands dirty, telling Andy to kill his nemesis in order to secure his freedom, so he brutally shot an unconscious Vinny dead. Then in another grim scene, a gun shot was heard with only the abandoned paper factory on-screen, before viewers got a glimpse of Andy's lifeless body. Pat Phelan revealed his sinster plan on Corrie Phelan, Andy and Vinny were in an abandoned paper factory (Image: ITV) He shot dead Andy Carver, who had killed Vinny just moments before (Image: ITV) During tonight's double-bill, Phelan armed himself with a shotgun as he began to carry out his revenge plan against Vinny. A manipulative Phelan convinced a terrified Andy that he would be set free, so long as he murdered Vinny. As Vinny lied unconscious and bloody on the ground, a frantic Andy stood to the side with a gun. Andy is told that he will obtain freedom if he kills Vinny (Image: ITV) But after doing the evil deed he turned the gun on Pat (Image: ITV) Phelan pressured Andy to shoot Vinny, so he shockingly obliged, before turning the gun on his captor. There was then another gunshot, by viewers didn't know whether Andy or Pat had been killed. It turned out that Pat had murdered Andy because he couldn't be trusted to keep quiet. Andy used to be such a kind character (Image: ITV) Vinny lies unconscious on the floor (Image: ITV) Before praying to god, Phelan said: "I'm really sorry kid. I had to. "You wouldn't have been able to live with yourself." His next move was equally shocking, as he dropped the bodies in a river, then planted some evidence in the solicitor's office. He then casually went to the Rovers to have a well-earned pint. Phelan tried to manipulate Andy into killing Vinny (Image: ITV) Pat decided he couldn't keep Andy alive any longer (Image: ITV) Vinny (Ian Kelsey) disappeared from the cobbles over a year ago - leaving Phelan (Connor McIntyre) to deal with the fallout from their scam and with no money to show for it. Having escaped to Hawaii, Vinny thought he was all in the clear. But little did he know that Phelan would discover his real identity, Harvey McArdle, and his poor elderly mum Flora. And sending a thug around to finish off Phelan appeared to be the last straw. The seething builder used his mum to blackmail him to give him money - but when the conman came up with the goods, Phelan ended up knocking him out and took him captive. Has Phelan become too dark? (Image: ITV) Corrie viewers took to Twitter after witnessing the distressing scenes. One viewer said: "#corrie. Tonight's episode is far too dark and violent for pre-watershed." Another added: "This is actually too much, it's a soap not The Wire or something. This plot is disgusting and way too dark #corrie" A third said: "Seriously #corrie... far too early in the evening for two violent murders.

Derrrr Reply Share 0 0 5 MINUTES AGO marrmrrs1 Sack the producers!!!.. This has hit an all time low!... Ridiculous story lines, drawn out for months on end. Full of characters you care nothing about and a complete waste of some talented actors. Phelan could have been around for years!.. Great actor but multiple murderer!!.. Garbage!... Some of the younger cast lack experience and come across as wooden and not likeable.... I could not care less if i see this episode!!!! SACK THE PRODUCERS ASAP!!!! Reply Share 1 0 17 MINUTES AGO Madeinnz I really can't be bothered with Corrie much anymore. Have watched it since the 60s as a child but now the storylines are ridiculously over the top, violent, unbelievable, and there is very little humour to be seen now in it. The beauty of Corrie was the humour, yes there was a bit of drama but it was more short lived and relationship drama i.e. Affairs or other things but if I wanted to see a black murderous drama I would watch one. Corrie is 7.30 pm way before the watershed but yet we had cocaine being snorted the other week and now this violence. Bye bye Corrie it was nice while it lasted.

That's Matt Ford he was on from (1991–1992). Matt was jettisoned for Jeremy Hunter and the college kids at Alden University. A shame they dumped him. Matt had chemistry with Ally. Plus he could've made a great addition to the AU College crowd.

EastEnders spoiler: Ben continues to get close to Luke unaware his dad raped mum Kathy BEN Mitchell is still getting close to Luke, unaware he is the son of his mum’s rapist James Willmott-Brown. 1 By Susie Hill / Published 1st October 2017 BBC AWKWARD: Ben has been getting to close to Luke, the son of his mother's rapist During last week’s episodes Luke took a shine to mechanic Ben after taking his car along to The Arches for some work. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads It turned out to be more than just his car that got serviced as the pair enjoyed a sizzling night together. But with Luke’s family currently plotting to take down Albert Square and his dad wanting revenge on Ben’s mum Kathy Beale, this is one romance that is doomed from the start.

Emmerdale sparks viewer complaints after Robert Sugden's sex scam with Lawrence White Thursday's episodes will now be assessed by the broadcasting watchdog. © ITV BY DANIEL KILKELLY 22 SEPTEMBER 2017 Emmerdale has sparked complaints to Ofcom over Robert Sugden and Lawrence White's shocking storyline twist. Robert (Ryan Hawley) put one of his most surprising schemes yet into action last night, as he tricked Lawrence into thinking that they'd slept together. The ruthless character played puppetmaster by plying Lawrence with alcohol, making sure he got so drunk that he passed out. inRead invented by Teads After helping to get Lawrence upstairs, Robert got undressed, climbed into bed with him and later claimed that they'd had sex. Robert also accused Lawrence of taking advantage of him, pretending that he'd been drunk himself at the time. Digital Spy can confirm that Ofcom has received nine complaints overnight about the scenes, which had a mixed reaction on social media last night. The complaints came from viewers who were unhappy over the non-consensual element of the storyline, as well as the sexual nature of the scenes. However, nothing actually happened between them as Robert is scamming Lawrence. An Ofcom spokesperson told Digital Spy: "We will assess these complaints before deciding whether or not to investigate." Emmerdale has previously sparked Ofcom complaints this year over Aaron Dingle's prison violence storyline, Rhona Goskirk's rape ordeal, and even Emma Barton bullying little Arthur Thomas – but the show was cleared of any wrongdoing in each case. Robert's scheming formed part of an ongoing storyline, which sees him trying to bring down the White family and seize control of Home Farm. Viewers will see the fallout continue in tonight's episode, following Robert's ultimatum that Lawrence's daughter Rebecca should hear what supposedly happened between them.
