I think for the most part it's been great under Kate Oates. It's the only soap over the past year or so where it's still watchable even during quieter periods. There's usually something in an episode that'll grab my attention, whether it's making me laugh or cry. I wouldn't say 2014 was as brilliant as 2013 was - those siege episodes really set the bar high for me, along with Gennie's car crash - but it was still a really strong year for the show. I like that there isn't really a dominant character or family at the moment. Everyone's getting a fair share of the action and that's the way it should be in an ensemble show. The Alicia/Lachlan story has been one of my favourites this year - Natalie Anderson has been excellent and Thomas Atkinson has to be one of the best younger actors I've seen in soap for years. I'd like her to stick around into 2016 if the stories are there but with it now being two years since both her and Blackburn took over their respective soaps I wouldn't be completely surprised to hear news of her standing down by the end of the year. It'll be interesting to see who would take over from her as I can't really think of any obvious candidates, although Oates herself wasn't that well-known before and has done wonderful things, so an unknown person stepping into the role isn't always a bad thing. Hi there, you remind me of someone else, dare I say who, although I am quite often very wrong, are you OME? |

I agree with TellyAddict. She's been generally good enough for me. Although, with the groundhog day of Blackburn, anything was going to look good.

Sadly Ome is stuck with the Yanky Doodle Dandy crowd. I do feel sorry for him. He was a good Mod.  |

I hate fights, that`s why I love this place. Everyone getting along, and say what they please without the fear of getting publicly called out for it. I like Ome...he is a great mod what I`ve seen of his work. I was only a member since December, so my opinion probably won`t count. |

You make a good point about the internet. I agree this froum is a breath of frsh air. I will be a good boy on here, fresh start and all that jazz. I hope you are enjoying your new role. |

SoapChat has really shot itself in the foot by kicking off then forcing someone to set up a new forum and all of us leaving in droves to them new forum, plus banning some who promoted the new forum. I am glad I sent PM's promoting this forum.
The UK soaps board is now a graveyard forum again, gone back to pre mid October 2014 style of a ghost town forum.
Cookie Crew's loss.

They`ll miss us more than we`ll miss them with our great banter, and colourful signature pics brightening up the place.  |

I am hoping Kate Oates does step down soon after what I have read about this summer. More catastrophes.
Emmerdale Farm definitely ended in November 1989.

For ITV`s 60th year, does Kate Oates have any decent storylines planned this summer? With great actresses like Nicola Wheeler and Emma Atkins on maternity leave, no doubt some plans were shelved.
