Members All My Shadows Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 at y'all pimping EE. Not for nothing, I think you'd be interested in UK soaps, Khan. Very different from US soaps, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Definitely less frustrating. I would probably climax very, very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Grant married Tiffany for the sake of Courtney, but he never really loved her, and they had a very tumultous relationship. I don't think either really loved one another. Tiffany just wanted to feel loved, and Grant never got over Sharon leaving him a few years earlier. Tiffany died when she decided to leave Grant and get away with Courtney, but Frank Butcher hit her with his car... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/m19Zer-UPpE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Really? How so? I admit I would love to know more about the different UK soaps. Unfortunately, no matter where I live in this country, I never seem to get a channel (and that's including PBS) that imports British shows, save for old sitcoms and detective series.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think you said you're in NYC at the moment Khan? The PBS affliate WLIW 21 airs EastEnders, though it's on a break at the moment. I think it'll be back in a few weeks. They're currently airing episodes from 2003. I'll PM you or something when it returns to the schedule. The 2003-2006 era is an era reviled by many fans, but I think there were many highlights from it that often weren't given a fair chance by the UK press.

Members Bright Eyes Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Were they the first gay couple from the UK soaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well, Simon had been beaten by his previous boyfriend, and Tony went on to cheat on Tony with a woman who looked like the lead singer of Roxette if she'd been electrocuted several times.

Members Khan Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 I don't get 21, only 13. :-( Bear in mind, too, I'm a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, especially when it comes to storytelling. The less innovative you are in telling the story (if not in the subject matter itself), the better. IOW, I want a soap to be just that: a soap. Not a film, and certainly not a primetime series. A soap. Wait, Tony cheated on himself? Say what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well, for one, they have an actual budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Sorry. Tony cheated on Simon. I always felt sorry for Simon and Tony always looked like Droopy Dog (of course his father was a leather-clad eye-patch wearing terrorist on Blake's 7 and his sister was a religious fanatic who was hit on by her youth minister, lost her virginity to the local loser while traumatized, then ran away, leading her father to beat the life out of the loser, so...rarely a happy time). I hope you at least get to see some of Carol Jackson, one of the best soap characters ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 And my personal favourite EE character of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Meh. Means nothing. I'm good with just a desk, a telephone, and some black curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Granted, I know less than nothing about the UK soaps, but going on what I have read, I think I'd prefer "Coronation Street" over "EastEnders." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 Khan, if you are able to watch, I can link you to the 60's and 70's Corrie if you PM me. I think you would love that. The Corrie of today is a nasty, mean-spirited, plot-driven mess which rips off Eastenders over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted March 31, 2011 Administrator Share Posted March 31, 2011 Nope, it's not going to be like that. It's not a made up character - yes new, but not made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
