London Stories
There is a new soap about to hit Soapboards called London Stories. We caught up with Vicky the creator of this new soap to ask her a few questions.
What is London Stories?
It's a new soap i have created based in London. It follows lives of people in London.
What can we expect from London Stories?
I don't want to reveal to much but expect some secrets to come out in the first few episodes.
I hear some of the actors have joined London Stories from your other soaps is this true?
Yes it is true but i am affraid i can't say who right now, but as you know my other soaps haven't worked out and some actors expessed a desire to appear in my new soap, i had to give them first priority they did so well last time, but i haven't just given them parts for the sake of it, i believe my stars can do the roles justice.
You mentioned that your other soaps didn't do very well, do you think London Stories can be different?
Yes i do. I have more time right now, i am busy this week but then i am pretty much free to work hard on this but it does also depend on viewing figures, only time will tell on that score.
When can we expect this to start?
Within the next week or two, i am hoping to slowly start building up to this, in a few days i will officially announce the cast and give audience an insight into the characters, hopefully after that it can all begin.
-
Looks good. I will give it a read when it begins.
-
Yaaay London :p I look forward to this starting :D
-
I should be able to post the details of characters by the end of next week for this, im moving house and i still havent finished doing the character bios yet so im hoping to have them up by next friday then i can start this
-
We caught up with the creator of London Stories again for another quick chat and here is what she had to say
Is London Stories still going ahead?
It most certainly is i have taken a break the last 3 days due to moving house but now i am back to planning again and finalising information.
How much is left to do?
I have two more people to write bios for at the moment. I don't want to bring in to many people all at once and put people off, you see that happening far to much on soaps and viewers just cant keep up with the speed of everything, if i want this to work i have to do it right.
When can we expect this to kick off?
Like i say two more characters to write bios for then i want to get that information up within the next 2 hours i can then start airing the actual episodes tomorrow.
You heard it first folks, it starts tomorrow so on that happy note we did not want to keep her any longer so we sent her off to get writing...keep watching folks not long now
-
We can now officially release the names of the first 7 people that the soap will introduce.

Episode 1 - Scene 1 - Local Shop
Chloe and Ashleigh are in the shop, Ashleigh is in her school uniform and Chloe is looking at the sweets with her daughter.
Chloe: Ash what sweets do you want?
Ashleigh: I want a toy mum
Chloe: No Ash just pick some chocolate or something
Ashleigh: Can i have a toy aswell?
Chloe: After school you can
The scene cuts to Suzy talking to Roxy at the other side of the sweet isle
Suzy: I don't know Rox, in my day you never saw anyone with a child at her age, and if you did it was because you was looking after your brothers or sisters.
Roxy: Things change though Suze
Viewers see that Chloe can hear the conversation between Roxy and Suzy
Suzy: I hope for your sake Roxanne dear, that you don't end up pregnant until you are older, that girl has ruined her entire life.
Chloe: I AM here you know love
Roxy: She didn't mean anything by it
Suzy: I will speak for myself thank you Roxanne
Chloe: And the entire city
Suzy: What does that mean?
Chloe: Well you don't ever shut up, always digging at me about Ashleigh, YES i had her when i was thirteen and YES i know i was a kid and had no clue about the responsibility that came with having a child but i love my daughter and i wouldn't change her for the world and Ashleigh is my life and nothing or no one comes before her, yes i make mistakes with her but no one is perfect...not even YOU so go and did at someone who does neglect their child ok?
The scene shows Chloe and Ashleigh about to leave the shop and Jason working behind the counter
Chloe: See ya later Jason
Jason: Bye Chlo, bye Ashleigh
Ashleigh: Bye Jason
Jason: Why do you always have to start on her hey mum?
Suzy: She messed up her life Jason
Jason: Sophie was 13 when she had Sam and you never start on her do you?
Suzy: That's different
Jason: Why? Because she is family? Don't be so pathetic mum, Chloe is a damn good mother to Ashleigh and she doesn't deserve the crap that you and everyone else 'round 'ere give her
Suzy: Might have known you would stick up for your girlfriend
Jason: For the LAST time MOTHER...Chloe is NOT my girlfriend we just get on well, and you used to like her when i looked after her as a kid, she is no different now why can't you like her again?
Suzy: I never stopped liking her Jason but look at what she has become
Jason: WHAT! What exactly has she become mum? A responsible parent? A loving mother? Jeez you would be complaining to social services if she was abusing Ashleigh :rolleyes: but you can't give her a break for for being a loving and responsible parent.
Suzy: There you go again...defending her...what about me Jason? what about the woman who brought you up? fed you and clothed you?
Jason: I am very greatful for all that mum but i will speak my mind if you are wrong and you just happen to be wrong here.
Suzy: What ever Jason you can do your own dinner tonight...or better still go have dinner with your girlfriend
Jason: I might just do that mother
As the scene ends we see Suzy storm out of the shop and Jason shake his head.
