Yes I too think Rhian is correct. They were indeed known as soap operas in the past.
I can see you all are a very knowledgeable lot 
I honestly never knew that, and had often wondered.
There ya go, I’ve learned something new today.
It was because of the adverts for soap that interrupted the programmes.
I knew who Phelan was going to lock up next, but I didn’t know he was going to kill both of them.
And I also know exactly what’s going to happen with Phelan and Anna.
If no-one has heard the news, Todd Grimshaw has been sacked for touching up a woman in a bar. Strange, I thought, as I was under the impression that he went more for vicars.
Anyway, I’m interested in exactly how they are going to write him out. As far as I know, he’s not going to be seen again so building a storyline about his disappearance could be a challenge.
NB: Not a spoiler, as this has been in all the papers yesterday.
I saw something about that in the paper JBR.
They were saying they might have to use a ‘look-alike’ for a while, I believe. 
OH dear the homosexuals are dropping like flies in the soaps first Flynn in Emmerdale and now Todd in Corrie, wow whoever next ?
Yes I read this on the computer.
Perhaps he will be another victim shot dead by Phelan, maybe Todd will find out what’s been going on and tells Eileen (just a thought).
Unless he disappears to see his brother! Eileen might remark one day that he’s gone to the airport at short notice. Just a thought.
Anyone watching tonight’s episode?
I hardly recognised wots-his-name in prison - is it Robert? Michell’s fella.
How come his hair has suddenly gone from black to white in prison?
I thought it was a different bloke until he spoke.
Yes, Marge said just the same a few moments ago.
I can only think he must have been dying it before. 
Same happened to me until he twitched his eyebrows … which were still jet black and I thought, Ah hah! those are what’s-his-names eyebrows.
Forgot to add … wasn’t keen on his new look. He had a lovely head of black hair. 
I wondered who it was when he walked in.
I think the actor used to dye it, but wondered on the new look. Maybe prisoners are all shaved, so they had to get rid of the old look? Bet he wasn’t too pleased!
Just a thought.
I have always liked men with grey hair so, to me, he looked much better!
Yes, it did look quite nice Twink, but it was such a quick contrast I wondered who he was until he spoke. 
Well if men are not easily recognized, just by changing the colour of their hair, do you think all burglars should dye their hair grey and then go back to their normal colour the following day?
…After all somebody could easily pull off their balaclava:mrgreen:
He looked much too old for Michelle. I liked him with his dyed hair best!
