CS Soaps - pilot episode

Just have to dream up another blog to shove this one into the shadows. Hmm.

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Well, this blog travelled in some odd directions.

Shall we call it a day now?

Molly, Lucy, no worries. Or I'll send you the box-set for Christmas

Over and out x

CS Soaps - pilot episode

TBH Molly we haven't really progressed from the original synopsis. Some bloggers want a murder, and some have nominated specific characters to be murdered. Not looking good for Goody, must be said. I think she's about to be written out.

Some want it to get all bedroomy straight away.

Most couldn't really care and have switched channels.

CS Soaps - pilot episode

the only thing that concerns me is that we are about to run out of characters altogether

if I am picking up the clues right, anyway. I suppose it COULD be sugar

Actually that happened on Corrie - or was it Stenders? my colleagues in the office talk about the soaps as if they were real life, its very unnerving. So sad that Doug died, they will say mournfully, and all start discussing it.

Who's Doug?

Oh, didn't you SEE? It was on Corrie last night -


(sheesh) (get a LIFE)

Having a butcher around would be endlessly useful. Especially if the murderous tendencies of the blog so far continue to develop.

DC go get your beauty sleep, like you need it catch you later

CK this is getting intriguing

I'm nicely comfortable now, broken leg propped up on a stool and no decorations, what the hell. Go on!

CS Soaps - pilot episode

In the meantime, does this pilot die or can anyone jump in with a plot swerve to save the day?

Okayyyy lunch break over and lets get back to work.

I love, oh so much, having my wrist slapped. Thanks Chrome.

Angelica, Gerda and Rupert are entirely products of my overactive imagination. Variations of this scenario do run from time to time on CS and I thought it would be funny to brainstorm the situation because often people caught in it can't see a way out.

Seems none of us could, apart from murder

I'll maybe do other soap setups because most of us found it fun. When I do, Pete's sake, I live in a world of my own and I don't spot real life when it is happening right under my own nose, okay?

If any reader, and there were quite a few more readers than comments, saw something familiar in this, yay, I may not understand real life but I can write it. That's a definite start!

oh pooh people know me here, it's just flummery.

Good luck to him shifting his nosy old mum away from the curtains so he can take a turn, that's all I can say

Soaps happen in crowded places with lots of minor characters elbowing each other out the way. And this is a CS soap, lots of us peering at each other and trying to work out who is doing whom and why and what the outcome will be ...

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Red, hang on, hang on just one cotton-pickin' minute. Old Goody two-shoes is now a murderous fella?

Got to have an onlooker, they're the ones see most of the game. The oblivious players all have tunnel vision and can only see what they want to see. Where's the overview without Goody?

Let's stick the knife-sharpener on the other side of the street, as a compromise?

(These writing sessions, bouncing ideas around, are exhausting, I tell you)

Cat, we're writing the story as we go. What do you want to happen next?

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Hi Wolfie, I don't have a hat exactly like that but I LIKE it

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Old Goody is the murderer? hmm. She's so fascinated she kills the players instead of trying to disentangle all their bewildering agendas?

Shame on you, she's a harmless old gossip with too much time on her hands.

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Old Goody two-shoes? She should probably be the one murdered.

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Coch, jump in any time, but we need a bigger cast if there are to be murders.

Hmm. Rupert has probably disappointed other ladies in the past, they could try to warn Angelica? He heads in to intercept, murder in his heart, a blunt weapon in his hand?

Angelica should be rich as well as beautiful and exotic. Make her more of a catch.

Okay. NOW we're cooking with gas.

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Z - can't win 'em all. But we could write in a murder, no worries. The potential is there. The CS viewing audience is pretty small, and the writers will do whatever it takes

CS Soaps - pilot episode

Cocheta you are RUBBISH at soaps. Thin storylines can be drawn out for years and you put the whole lot to bed - er, I should perhaps reword that - in a couple of sentences?

Actually the whole lot in one bed would take it into a whole new viewing audience.

Ekself, glad you enjoyed my pain

RE: Christmas

BB - nice. And yes.

Truth is got halfway up the ladder, lifted hand to the hatch, ladder wobbled hideously, and I decided the tree looks fine as it is.

The earlier version is more fun though

Beginning to feel a tiny bit like Christmas

Nope, small house, small roof. I got up the ladder, shifted the hatch and a box fell on my head. It didn't contain decorations.

Just woke up a few minutes ago.

Someone or something had slid the hatch back into place.



The tree looks GREAT the way it is. And I may never go upstairs again.











I really need to work on this imagination of mine. And the whole pathological lying bit.

RE: Christmas

Now as often as not it celebrates the birth of Santa Claus. I just wondered what you saw as the 'real' meaning.

RE: Christmas

The real meaning of Christmas? Define.

Originally it was to replace the pagan mid-winter celebrations and bring pagans into the church.

Boet - I am offering you your life's desire. And you can do a good deed at the same time. Win win.

Z - see? they're famous. And she is an INCREDIBLE cook. She earned her curves, and he died happy.

Beginning to feel a tiny bit like Christmas

Boet, no breaks. I'm like that kind of shark that needs to keep moving or it will die.


I wish! Lazy as the day is long, me. So, you going up that ladder for me or not?
