Soap Watch

In the cobbles, earlier this week ITV launched 'Corrie Nation'. It's a new online game which allows fans to create, populate and grow their very own Weatherfield! It is the first social networking game to be created by a British soap! Players are encouraged to complete tasks to gain access new levels and buildings and characters and iconic items in Corrie's History!
In the picture we have Julie Hesmondhalgh (Hayley Cropper), Antony Cotton (Sean Tully), Michelle Keegan (Tina McIntyre) and Malcolm Hebden (Norris Cole) with cartoon versions of their characters.
In other news Simon Gregson got married at the weekend so congrats to him and his wife!

A few weeks ago, I mentioned Eastenders was planning a baby terror plot for New Year which involved Kat Salter and Ronnie Mitchell. Now more details have been announced. Ronnie will steal Kat's baby after her own dies of cot death. During the New Year's celebrations, Ronnie discovers her baby is dead. After rushing to the Queen Vic, she hears Kat's baby crying upstairs and swaps the babies. That's hard-hitting stuff. 

Not much going on in the Dales. They've been filming the Christmas Day episode recently and it's going to be a dramatic one by the sounds of things for Chaz, Carl and Eve! Dramaaa!

Plenty of news from Hollyoaks. Let's crack on. First of all, the fire! Steph died. We all cried. Yes I am indeed back to watching Hollyoaks. I'll give it a few weeks. Anyway, yes sadly Steph died, but the fire wasn't all that great. They jumped all over the place and it didn't work really. Confusing at times to be honest. 
Moving on. Hollyoaks has confirmed that it will air a late-night special episode on 16th December. The episode will involve Claire Cooper (Jacqui McQueen), Andy Moss (Rhys Ashworth) and Anthony Quinlan (Gilly Roach) taking centre stage in the extra episode, which will feature a dark storyline focusing on Darren Day's dangerous character Danny Houston. It will also see the return of Allison Burrows (Kathleen McQueen).
Hollyoaks also confirmed a special stand-alone episode will air on 1st December, focusing on Warren Fox's mystery come-back after seemingly dying in a fire last year. All will become clear in a series of flashbacks. The details of the flashbacks however are being kept under wraps until transmission. 

Who bloody pushed Paul Robinson? Rebecca did! I called that. It had to be either her or Declan. Anyway moving on, Kate will get a new love interest and I'm guessing it's going to be with Detective Mark Brennan, who's been working on the Paul Robinson case. He's just signed to be with the soap another year and also said to be getting a love interest with an established character! See i've put two and two together because I'm clever like that. 
In another Neighbours news, the 2010 series finale is set to be dramatic roller-coaster claims series producer Susan Bower. Apparently, the Scully house will be on fire and a big cliffhanger will end 2010. A number of characters a re leaving the soap and details are being kept secret. The episodes will be shown in the UK in early 2011.
Also, make sure you watch this week, as it's one resident's final days! Sad times are ahead of us. 

The 2010-2011 TV Season - The Event to Relaunch in 2011

NBC's The Event will get a 'relaunch' next year it's been claimed. 

The show was recently given a full season despite low ratings but now in 2011 the show will be relaunched.

Bill Smitrovich who plays Vice President Raymond Jarvis said: "We will finish up with our first 13 and then there will be a break, and then we’ll come back with a one-hour compilation clip show of the first 13 so everybody can catch up with story."


Blair Underwood who plays President Elias Martinez said: "There is the crossfire competition from Dancing With The Stars, football and the number one comedy Two And A Half Men. Then, this is the type of genre show like 24 and Lost where viewership always picks up in the second season because people go back and watch during the summer or get the DVD. That builds an audience. And this show was sold in 200 international markets before it premiered here so there is incentive to keep the show going. We are in a good place."


The Event currently airs on Channel 4, Fridays at 9. Personally, I am hooked on it.
