To what extent do the producers remove/amend storylines or characters...

I'd like to think that at least one writer frequents this board. I think viewer input should be noted in order that they can get the feedback they require. I know it's the longest-running soap in the UK but as writers come and go it isn't a sure fire guarantee unless they maintain the right balance.

I only watch Corrie and Emmerdale. I gave up Eastenders a decade ago because it was just so repetitively depressing and violent (needlessly so IMHO).

"These days you have to boil someone before you can sleep with them"

I remember a whole family being removed from Emmerdale (the family that were cast via a Soapstar reality show) because they weren't well received by the audience, but I don't know how that reception is determined. Maybe they get a ton of complaint letters from mad people with too much time on their hands? Or maybe they come here to look at our rants. I doubt the latter though, otherwise Sean and Izzy would be long gone!

I am ANYTHING but a pugnacious upstart

I keep wondering about the story lines that just seem to vanish. Beffany's bullying, Billy's brother, Sergeant Troy from Midsomer who thought Liz was Amy's mum (his eyesight must have really gone down after leaving the Police), Mary's motorhome.

And another thing, why doesn't Mr Ecclestone drink in the Rovers or get his paper from the Kabin or eat at Roys or the Bistro

I complete online surveys via YouGov and amongst other things, I've been asked my opinions on various CS characters.
