Who said it and what soap?

freshpopcorn

I thought this might be a fun thread. Classic/Common/etc soap quotes.

''You should've stayed at the party, Maxine''

''Hello Dawn''

Both easy enough.

Try and not google them to make it a little harder.

For the first one Richard Hillman in Coronation Street

I don't know about the second though

MsWesterosi

First one Richard Hillman.

Second one Emmerdale? As in Bob's dead daughter Dawn?

Correct about first one!

Second one wrong person and wrong soap.

Aww! lol Maybe I should start watching Eastenders. It's one soap I've never been able to warm to. A bit too grim with very little laughs.

I had a lot of time for it up until a few years ago. I find rver since the Carter family joined it. It went down hill and I'm gone off it.

I hear a lot of people say that. That Carter family are supposed to be dire. My mum watches it occasionally, but she wouldn't be a huge fan either.

"Skirt no bigger than her belt, too much eyeliner and roots as dark as her soul

She loves a drama, that Gail. Loves a drama. Never happy unless she's got someone's hands round her throat.

Both from tha same soap and person.

Ditto. The Carters changed too often, one in and one out. I stopped watching it completely when they killed off Ronnie & Roxy. The storyline was just way too far fetched and they were key characters.

It's Blanche!

She also had one for Roy and Hayley when she said something along the lines of.

There's no man in a frock raising my great grand child.(I don't think they'd get away with it now and Twitter would be out for her)

Norman Bates with a briefcase!

I loved Blanche! She was a legend! Her one liners were brilliant. There aren't enough characters like her anymore (although Tyrone's gran Evelyn is shaping up to be a good addition to Corrie)

Everyone, I think, knows a Blanche type in real life. Sad that comedy in soaps (and everywhere else) - even in the last ten years - has been watered down because people take offence at everything now.

Aww I'm never going to get it - I only followed Home and Away back then, and just dipped in and out of the ''grown up'' soaps.

It won't be Dirty Den - too obvious, so I bet it's that other guy who turned out to be sharon's real father in Eastenders. Gavin something or other? Didn't watch it, just read about it on Digital Spy.
