Cain Dingle sexy? A bucket of bleach and a scrub with the yardbrush is what he needs

Birdsgottafly · 06/07/2012 23:58

Cain Dingle looks like he needs to be disinfected.

I had a thing for old man Tate married to Kim.

That's not good is it.

I also had a mad crush on Caleb Nicol (aka Jim Robinson) AND Julie Cooper because she was so trashy/evil.

Weekend Joy?

Laptop on in kitchen, making cakes for elderly neighbours (yes really), watching catchup shite, prepping dinner, loading disher/washer countless times

Obviously much tea no alcoholic beverages are partaken

Includes:
EE
Corrie
JK (yes I know My Bad, but sometimes my life looks a bit better in comparison)
Holby
Casualty when they do not cancel it for some sport crapola
Good Wife
Cleveland Show
Embarrassing Bodies
Plus others

So nowt wrong with Soaps for me

I loved Dynasty and knots landing

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 07/07/2012 00:02

Cain Dingle is a dirty looking sod......lovely Smile

Birdsgottafly · 07/07/2012 00:03

Wife Swap, Holiday Showdown.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 07/07/2012 00:03

I adored Dynasty and the Colbys.

I was only a kid when it was on.

Bloody hell the sheer JOY when Joan Collins told Krystal to 'pack you cheap plastic suitcases and get out.'

usualsuspect · 07/07/2012 00:03

Eldorado was fab, but my favourite ever soap was Sons and Daughters

GetOrfMoiiLand · 07/07/2012 00:05

soooons and daughters, sooooons and lovers

Nearly as good as the sullivans.

You do realise that there's very little difference between Charles Dickens' novels that he was producing week by week for the popular press and a good soap like Corrie, don't you?

GetOrfMoiiLand · 07/07/2012 00:06

I watched repeats of Dallas when home ill for months last winter.

It was utter crap. Sue Ellen wasn't as mad as I remembered. And they all had terrible hairdos.

daisyrain · 07/07/2012 00:06

I will never watch anything American.

Just the thought of them nuking us, scares me. Let alone me being brainwashed into the shit programmes, they dish out.

Enough already dude!

I do watch british soaps & films only.

Shane Meadows, Steve Coogan, Simon Pegg, ect ect.

As for the yanks, leave the bastards Grin

Tortington · 07/07/2012 00:07

oh i think theres a little difference between dickens and shitenenders.

usualsuspect · 07/07/2012 00:08

I don't watch EE , I have some standards

I used to love watching Take the highroad though in the afternoons before I picked the kids up from school

GetOrfMoiiLand · 07/07/2012 00:09

I love a lot of american stuff. A lot of their TV is far better than the shite we churn out.

Bollocks to Charles Dickens an' all

GetOrfMoiiLand · 07/07/2012 00:09

OOOH Annie Mack and that Sneddon fucker

usualsuspect · 07/07/2012 00:11
