I can't imagine how hard it must be produce a show or write storylines constantly every week whilst trying to keep it entertaining to the point to ensure the ratings are sufficiently high. I'm not surprised the "die-hard fans" represent a small portion of the nightly audience and are the most vocal when it comes to criticising the show. And I think other people who enjoy the show or simply think it's OK tend not to say as much.

I don't like the idea of censoring people so for that reason posters should be able to criticise the show but a lot of these comments are not adding anything new. It seems to be the same set of posters bumping this thread every so often saying the show should go back to it's roots, the crime element, the lack of diversity, insufficient character development etc.

HO has had gay, transgender and all different races of people over it's 20+ years and has never not featured them or treated them as token characters left on the sidelines. They have the same ups and downs and everyone else. Sure it can be as camp as hell at times but that's not a bad thing. Expand Yeah, sorry, you have a point there. I just meant that Hollyoaks is another show which tends to hire people based on looks and is story-driven in nature rather than character-driven, though of course it's a lot more modern than H&A and more inclusive.

I've pretty much written everything I wanted to say in those long posts so I probably won't need to harp on any longer

Some people need to have an open mind and listen even if they disagree. Slade your getting into an area I use to here in America about Die hard fans. Yes every show has them. and when you pick and choose who a "perfect" fan then it creates hard feelings among fans. Who to say what a perfect fan is?

I never said haters can't have an opinion. In fact in my post that you've quoted I said I didn't like the idea of censoring people. My point wasn't that these people were "hating". It was that these opinions are repetitive because the same things are being mentioned over and over by the same people. So it's not the criticising of the show that I have an issue with but the rehashing of the same points.
