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.

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: 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?

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.

RICHARD'S CHARACTER TO BE KILLED OFF
Following the shock announcement earlier this afternoon that Wendy Richard was leaving London Stories due to ill health the soap's creator Vicky has decided to kill off the character of Suzy Day. We caught up with her to ask her about her decision.
"I was saddened to hear about the health issues which face Wendy at this present moment in time. She told me she wanted to leave and i respected her decision, but it has left me in the lurch a bit, i wanted to do so much with the character of Suzy day but after alot of thought about it i came to the decision to remove Suzy from the show as i felt the only woman who could play the part was Wendy so i will be writing her out instantly and i can confirm she does die, but how she dies is the secret. I can also reveal that following this announcement i am bringing in a new character that wasn't planned until about half an hour ago played by Ross Kemp"
There you have it folks, one in and one out.

Jason: They are back and forth from the police station at the moment helping with enquiries, dad is there now
Chloe: Should you not be with him?
Jason: If one of them killed my mum i have no intention of being there to support them, i know neither of them were here at the time the police say she was attacked
Chloe: So you think they could have done it?
Jason: They both had reason, why not? You seen the news? Mothers abducting their own children, why can't daughters and husbands murder their mother's and wifes? It's a sick world out there Chlo
Chloe: Oh i know that Jase but seriously? Gerry killing Suzy? are you sure? Everyone knew Suzy were more likely to kill Gerry not the other way around, and Lisa? she don't have the mind to think up something like that does she?
Jason: She was on the streets for nearly 10 years, she could have picked anything up, i don't know her well enough now to know what she is capeable of, all i know is she was not in THIS house the day my mum died
Jason breaks down in tears and cries leaving Chloe to comfort him as the scene ends

New co-writter hired for London Stories
A new writter to help Vicky write her soap London Stories has been oppointed, we can exclusively reveal that the writters name is Tanya, she has written several of her own scripts mainly based around Holby City, namely popular character Connie Beachamp.
We caught up with Vicky to ask her about Tanya's role in the soap. This is what she had to say to us.
I have been contemplating getting help to write the soap for a while now, i knew Tanya writes her own stuff and would be a good choice for the role of co-writter, i still plan the episodes mainly and will tell her the kind of stuff i want to happen, but she can give me ideas aswell, or if she does not like something she can tell me and come up with a way to make it better, i look foward to working with Tanya in the future

Adele replacement rumours!!
With the news a few months back that Adele Silva had quit her role as Lucy Marsden before she had even began filming, we have been waiting to hear who, if anyone would be replacing Adele.
Names are flying everywhere, some rumours have it that Lucy Marsden will now be played by American actress Sophia Bush best known for her role in One Tree Hill as Brooke Davis. Others say English actresses Charlie Brooks or Lauren Crace could take over the role, better known as Janine Butcher and Danielle Jones in Eastenders.
We was hoping to catch up with London Stories writer Vicky or co-writer Tanya but both have avoided the press since the news was leaked hopefully we will be able to catch up with them soon and get official news as to who the role will go to but for now all we have are rumours

DC Ashbridge: We would like to ask you a few questions sir about the murder of Suzanne Day sir is there anywhere we can go for a more *looks at bar staff and then back at Dave* private chat?
Dave: Sure we can go to my office
The 2 officers follow Dave to his office, Dave goes behind his desk and sits in his chair
Dave: Take a seat *points at two empty seats the other side of the desk*
DC Scott: Thank you sir
Dave: Please call me Dave, sir sounds like a teacher *gives a little chuckle*
DC Scott: Very well sir...sorry i meant Dave
DC Ashbridge: Dave, where was you at 7pm on the morning of September the 5th 2008?
Dave: At home getting ready to take my dog out for a walk
DC Scott: Can anyone clarify this Dave?
Dave: Well my dog could if he could talk *laughs* sorry just kidding, maybe my next door neighbour can
DC Scott: By neighbour are you referring to a *looks through pad* Billy Haybridge?
Dave: Yes
DC Ashbridge: You see Dave, we already spoke to Billy and he is unable to place you near the estate at that time
Dave: Well maybe someone else can
DC Scott: We have spoken to most of the people in the area none of them saw you that night until you got home which was after the attack
Dave: Well of course i went home after the attack, hardly went before did i? or else i would not have found Suzanne right? Hang on? did you say you spoke to most of the people in the area?
DC Ashbridge: Yes sir
Dave: Meaning there are some people you have not spoken to?
DC Scott: Yes, we have been unable to get answers from a couple of the houses in the area
Dave: Well someone might have seen me from them houses
DC Scott: We doubt that sir, if no one else saw you why would the others?
Dave: Are you saying you think i killed Suzanne?
DC Ashbridge: You was the only one we can place in the park around the time of the attack
Dave: You do think i did it don't you? I can't believe this, i find a woman and instantly phone both the police and the hospital and suddenly i'm on London's most wanted list :rolleyes: I think i would like you both to leave now
DC Ashbridge: Sir we do have more questions
Dave: Am i under arrest?
DC Ashbridge: No sir, not yet, we have other suspects
Dave: In which case i do not need to answer your stupid questions so please leave
The two officers both leae with Dave following behind the two officers exit the club and Dave goes behind the bar
Dave: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? :angry: :angry: :angry:
Male worker: Urm bottles?
Dave: WRONG!! THEY ARE BACKWARD BOTTLES
Male worker: It's two bottle for heaven sake :rolleyes: chill out
Dave: I DO NOT CARE IF IT IS 2 OR 20, I RUN A BUSINESS HERE NOT A NURSERY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Male worker: You know what, understand clearly, i'm out of here
The male worker removes his shirt and throws it at Dave before leaving the club and taking a card out of his pocket and tapping the number from the card into his phone and dialing the number
