[QUOTE="Ome, post: 90726, member: 2"] It didn't take long to reach the fire of '86. What I did find was that it all happened within the first half of an episode. Bet wakes up, struggles to free herself from the smoke and Kevin saves her by climbing through the window. So different to how it would play out today. This would usually happen over a full week of episodes and there would always, [I]always[/I] be something sinister behind the fire which would drag on for a few weeks while the audience would know who started it and why. I also felt a real loss when Bet returned and broke down,. not knowing where she's going to live or what she will do for a living. Jack is looking for work in Alec Gilroy's place. I never felt anything from Rita when the cabin was destroyed by the train crash, or anything from Dev or Stella when their workplace was smashed or burnt down. The factory closing down today has tried to showcase how the workers feel by having scams from Tyrone & Fiz, whereas skint (and can't pay the electricity bill) Chesney & Sinead continue to eat and drink in the cafe/Bistro. No real emotions from the characters like we have had with the goings on in '86 I don't mind the stunts of today any more than I mind the twists along the way, but what is apparent is the lack of character emotions today.
