Now let us know, which soap are you rooting for to take home this year’s BAFTA TV Award? Comment below.
I can’t believe Emmerdale got snubbed. But then again the current producers have not been well received. From splitting Moira and Cain, and Charity(love Emma Atkins)and Vanessa to bringing back screechy annoying Mandy Dingle and sniveling Jamie Tate it’s been a mixed bag. Not to mention the local Vicar/Pastor having constant sex with several men; killing one of them; burying him on top of a random person in a grave; digging him back up and burying him again. It’s been off and crazy and viewers were not happy.
As good as EastEnders got after John Yorke returned to repair the damage from that dippy Irish producer who was ruining it, Iain Mcleod on Coronation Street took over for brilliant Kate Oates, now at EastEnders, and made Coronation Street even more compelling. They’ll win just for the Geoff controlling Yasmeen abuse story hands down.
And they deserve it for choosing to follow me on Twitter last year LOL.
Congratulations to these soaps! And congratulations to the Brits for actually continuing to tell excellent stories!
