I guess CH4 are about to pull another Brookie

[Denver]

I wouldnt be surprised if they sacked Kirkwood

[Ross.]

450k :skull: surely not

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Its a shame as the show is quite good at the moment and it takes on storylines no other soaps would. Obviously the show is doing something right as it did win best soap this year, but its a shame about the ratings.

I assume most people are watching it on catch up?

Maybe it doesn’t include the E4 first look rating

[Ross.]

I haven’t watched in years she needs a revamp!

[Denver]

I haven’t watched in years she needs a revamp!

It's gone back to the more serious stuff it was lived for in recent times but Kirkwood is not someone that should be trusted and is always ready with silly storylines

[Barry.]

Aww I like Hollyoaks.

[LukeB]

Maybe it doesn’t include the E4 first look rating

Yeah that too

I don't think those numbers include E4 and catch up figures, probably another bull**** story.

[Daniel.]

Shame as it's by far the best

[Braden]

It's quite strange, however. Didn't it win the Best Soap award this year?

Tbf it's a fan voted award and with Hollyoaks fan base being mostly teens it will more likely have been spam voting even though they deserved it

It’s what she deserves for keeping Kieran Richardson employed in an acting role

[Vanessa]

They need to change producer.

[RileyH]

I will NOT let this happen!

[Marsh.]

Execs are injecting cash and demanding bold new storylines in a bid to revive the flagship soap, which has been on air since 1985.

They just recycled an old EastEnders article?

They can do anything precisely because no one is watching.

Best Soap is a viewer vote so the only thing they got was the twitter fans out in force.

They'd be mad to.
It's the best of the soaps on TV.

[Amy Jade]

Last time I watched it it was awful so not that shocked.

Bring Maddie Morrison and Clare Devine back!

[Rob!]

To be perfectly honest, I’m amazed it’s lasted as long as it has.

[Rob!]

Sources say the perception of the show at Channel 4 is so bad that bosses were openly shocked when it won Best Soap at the British Soap Awards two weeks ago.

:joker:

[Headie]

What a coincidence that the viewership dropped when they brought back Stephanie Davis!
