It looks like a play now - the Osborne? Bar is so horrible looking and every scene seems to be set there

It was created by yer lad made Grange Hill as a sort of contemporary update on that kinda format iirc, so it’s mad to hear they’re being sidelined
Never been more confident that this was a barleysugar thread

Have you heard of a little soap called… Neighbours
Also, Garcia Marquez wanted to write a soap opera and wrote a script for one. Don’t think it ever got made though.

During lockdown I accidentally starting watching it again for the first time in about 10 years if not more. The ventriloquist dummy was incredible stuff really. Never saw the conclusion of that.
Also Tony’s dad was trying to kill him just to steal his wife, who for some reason seemed quite willing to shack up with his dad instead of him anyway? Very much enjoyed the scene of his dad playing the cello and then dropping dead.
Also they retconned Kurt Benson’s death from 20 years ago to bring him back, but he only came back for about a month, tried to scam Tony and then fucked off again. What was the point??

The ventriloquist dummy turned out to be Theressa and he boyfriend, Theresa was in on it but didnt know her boyfriend was working with his serial killer granddad.
Tony’s dad got together with Tony’s wife when Tony was held captive on serial killer Breda McQueens pig farm. Always bugs me when soap characters dont throw things back in each other’s faces, sure Diane got with Tony’s dad, but in the past Tony had an affair with Diane’s daughter Sinead which is surely worse.
Yeah it was weird they brought back the original star of the show only to besmirch his name. Reminds me of another weird thing when they retconned Rob Hawthorne as not being an evil mastermind, just coincidences he took credit for
