Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Eastenders seemed down by a lot more than usual to me, they haven't hit the low 7s in a long time on nights when they aren't clashing or dealing with something big on another channel, but I might have forgotten some figures. The ITV soaps never repeat well, for some reason. Some said it's because the BBC repeats are at a fixed time while ITV is all over the place. I think the earlier a show is in the night the lower the ratings may get. Emmerdale comes on when there's still more opportunity to enjoy the day. I guess it could have been something related to story but I don't know what it would be. Supposedly it was great weather there yesterday.

Members BadBoy93 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 its a shame TV ratings are so low these days. Maybe when they get really low,they can transfer the soaps to The Internet and then continue the genre there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) A poster at Digital Spy is saying there's some big Emmerdale news coming tomorrow. I have no idea what "big" means -- it could mean Mr. Lucas from Are You Being Served? is Pearl's new boyfriend, for all I know -- but hopefully it will be a nice surprise. Perhaps they will have an episode where viewers vote on which men lose their clothes... Edited May 22, 2010 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) All the men? If you're into Alan Turner that's your business, but please, take that to the privacy of your own home. Though, if it is something big, maybe someone is getting the axed. When was the last time someone was let go from the show?

Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 That's why I edited that. I realized it would probably end up being Shadrach, Zak, Sandy...by the way, apparently you didn't see the scene in 2008 where poor Alan was in nothing but a slightly loose towel and Pearl walked in on him. That's something which you wouldn't forget. It's from the Daily Star apparently. These are some of the Twitter quotes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 Perhaps they stole from me and DaytimeFan and are casting Joan Collins! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'm crossing my fingers. If soaps have taught me anything, it is to expect the unexpected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 I guess this might be the news. Not that great, although it could be OK... http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/showbiz/821661/Dales-new-girls-Nat-good-for-sis-Natalie-Anderson-will-quotraise-hellquot-as-latest-sexy-addition-to-Emmerdale.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 I do like the fact that Blyth seems determined to keep Leyla/David active. It'll be good to hear about Leyla's history before she came to the village. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 The only thing they mentioned about her past before now was that she had to work and work to send money home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 But is this supposed to be "exciting news?" It has to be something else, something bigger... We'll see... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) It better be something else. Some nobody being cast, DOES NOT CUT IT! If I'm disappointed I'm blaming you, Carl (the messenger). Edited May 22, 2010 by Amello 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 I guess it might be from the point of view of some of those papers. I guess it's my fault for thinking this might be more. If it had been something big it probably would have been mentioned on the site, or by Kris Green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadBoy93 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 If she is a good actress then welcome to the show. Otherwise just some eye candy for the guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2010 Members Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Looks like it's the sister. http://www.itv.com/soaps/emmerdale/newsandgossip/leylassisterarrives/ Their character profiles are interesting. Apparently Declan arrived in 2009... There are also way too many pictures of David with hair that makes him look like a surfer dude. Imagine him as Eli! I'm glad that didn't happen.
