Now the cat is out of the bag,
I really finished watching the last Christmas edition and decided I would not watch again. I may weaken.
To me that is the hall mark of a soap when the story line depends on the needs of the actors, not the writer.
I was amused when I came to NZ and found that Coronation Street is still running and 2 nights per week. That died a death in Australia many years ago.
Back in the 80's I would rush home to watch Eastenders then one day the Tv station just took it off air. I was horrified but it taught me a lesson. I have never watched a soap since.
It is always sad when a good series ends but we get over it and it is better than having it drag on and lose all reality.
Yes it did not help that I was madly in love with Dan Stevens
I will have to look out for him. He seems to have been mainly in TV mini series and was in "The Line of Beauty" I am a fan of Allan Hollinghurst and have read most of his books .I think I watched the Line of Beauty. Photos show Dan Stevens was much younger although it was only 6 years ago. I checked and sadly he is married with children
I will watch out for his films.
