All Soaps: Vintage Articles

  • Members

This is the place where I will post any "vintage" articles (I know, 10-15 years ago isn't exactly vintage!), from UK and Australian soaps over the years. I didn't want to clutter up the main active threads, so I thought one main thread would be a good idea.

If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to do so.

If anyone is interested in a particular show, leave a comment, or PM me, and I'll see if I can full fill your request.

Thanks. John Michie plays the flop Karl on Corrie doesn't he?

Tony Booth again. I hear that name so much. He was, of course, married to Pat Phoenix, and is Cherie Blair's father.

This show sounds dull but I wish I could see some of it.

How arrogant to claim you'll be on for 25 years.

Top articles in this thread really take me back ... The Simon/Tony/Tiffany/Grant story was epic. Years before American soaps would come anywhere close to that level of storyline for gay characters.

Also, Blossom! Alan! Sanjay! Kathy! Grant looking super young.

John Michie does play Corrie's Karl - what a pointless character. I didn't even realize it was him, until you mentioned it. LOL.

I'm sure Tony Booth also appeared in Crossroads, too - the reboot, I mean. Although, I could be making that up?

I don't know why anyone thought a show set in a market would be at all exciting.

I'm glad you like them.

I love that period from EE... or, I just loved the characters. In comparison to what the show is like today, the 90s seem like a fairytale.

    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them.
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together
