Tina’s Impending Death

I’m starting to think that Coronation Street might have released the fact that they are planning on killing off Tina McIntyre to far in advance. I know when Michelle Keegan announced she was leaving Corrie the show bosses were planning on letting Tina leave alive then changed their mind. But as far as I know in America we still have at least 2 to 3 months before she out and at least for me I’m not seeing the beginning of the end. It’s almost like Tina has been in a holding pattern since Peter and Carla’s wedding.

I guess it is a blessing and a curse to know so far ahead of time that an actor or actress is leaving. I know murder is different than dying of illness but the death of Hayley Cropper was far better than this has been. I’d like to see Tina actually pissing people off or some sort of indication that she’s leaving.

I hope that Corrie surprises me which I know they can. But I’d like it to pick up the pace some.

Welcome!

Welcome to British Soaps State Side!

I decided to start this blog to reach out to others who are interested in British Soaps that are aired in America. 

The shows that I’ll be posting most about are: Coronation Street and Hollyoaks on Hulu, The Archers on BBC4 (podcast), and Eastenders (it is on my local PBS station but from the episodes are from the early 00’s). I’ll probably post about Eastenders (current episodes), Emmerdale, and other British soaps from time to time. 

Looking forward to talking to this experience!
