Re: Will the nation cope with this dramatic news

Bring back Crossroads I say!

Can't stand soaps as a rule but I was a bit of a closet fan of the above. Let's take a trip down memory lane via some reruns and remember some of the characters from Crossroads Motel and the good folks of Kings Oak.

Phew! I feel so much better for getting that off my chest. I might even wear my Benny hat for clapping this evening.

Yes, OK. I see that, Baz, but if they aren't working will they get paid & this could go on for months.

Yes, I realise that but receiving that level of pay must mean they have money in the bank to tide them over. Maybe though they didn't have the advantage of a good upbringing that taught them to always 'save something for a rainy day'. That's what I was taught and it's seen me manage to get out of trouble in the past. One time being out of work for two years in the recession of the mid- to late-1990s those savings helped me get through that.

Coronation Street could go off? Oh dear, l am sad....not!

Let’s hope if they do, that they replace it with something that doesn’t insult our intelligence....like most Soaps do....

Well I never knew that - apparently Benny has played
Tony Hancock on stage.

Which reminded me of 'the Bowmans'

I hope they have savings then. A lot of actors are used to being out of work, but the casts of soaps are usually fairly safe in a job.

I loved Crossroads & Harpers West One. Those were good.

Yes, Westender, the best one was Amy Turtle who kept fluffing her lines and there were long pauses until she remembered her words!

I'd never heard of Harpers West One until now Tiffany.
Frustratingly there doesn't seem to be any episodes or even clips on YouTube.

It looks like I'm going to have to let that one go.
