Who things the E20 lot are working? All I see and hear is negativity towards them. Maybe Zsa Zsa is an exception, as some seem to like her, but Leon and Fatboy have not made many friends.

John Yorke constantly brags about E20's "success" and the "life" they've brought to the main show, Santer did too before he left. I don't see it either. Fatboy seems to be the most hated on the online forums, and I can see why. I don't like Zsa Zsa, but if they want to keep her alone, I could bare it as Shirley is there, but the others must go or be saved via some decent writing.

Kris Green of Digital Spy will be interviewing all four producers of the UK soaps for "Producer Season."

If you have any questions you'd like him to ask, you can post them here: http://www.digitalspy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1248693

Producer season has begun!

Digital Spy's Kris Green's interview with Bryan Kirkwood.

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/s2/eastenders/interviews/a219138/bryan-kirkwood-executive-producer-eastenders.html

Bryan Krikwood will first be credited on EastEnders on June 7th, he'll share the EP credit with Santer for the first two weeks.

I quite liked that interview--he sounds like he might be a good fit and help make the show better. We shall soon see.

I wonder why Kris hasn't posted other interviews with the other producers yet.

Funny to note, I hear Phil Collinson started at Corrie on March 1st, the same day Kirkwood started at EastEnders.

Kirkwood will first be credited on EastEnders on June 7th (sharing the EP title with Santer for the first two weeks), but I wonder when we'll see Collinson's name in the Corrie credits, hopefully Kris asked that question to Collinson.

Best part about that interview? Marquess mentioned that Lee Hunter isn't being brought back just for comedy stories. It's good to know that Alex Carter will be used correctly. I can't freaking wait.

And please, Marquess, it is really not necessary to bring back Hayley Ramsey. I hated her when I used to watch, and with Zak going, what's the point? Get rid.

Due to scheduling moves during the World Cup, on May 31st, EastEnders will be aired as a double episode (an hour). This means Bryan Kirkwood's first credited episode will air on Friday June 4th, NOT Monday June 7th, as was previously reported.

So, what interview will be posted later today? Phil Collinson or Gavin Blythe?

I'm guessing Blythe...

I hope it's Collinson. Save the best for last

I'm guessing Blythe, because this way, they'll begin with EastEnders and end with Corrie, while the "other two" get slotted in the middle. :lol:

You know Hollyoaks and Emmerdale are the bastard soaps of the UK press!

Apparently, the next interview (which isn't posted yet) will be with the producer from Doctors, not Blythe or Collinson...

That show sure does get a lot of PR.
