[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 404474, member: 673"] When you think of British soaps, most people think of the primetime big guns like [I]EastEnders[/I] and [I]Coronation Street[/I] but for a lengthy period stretching from the 60’s to the late 00’s, ITV did something of a steady trade in daytime soaps. Some went on to transition to primetime success ([I]Emmerdale[/I] and [I]Take The High Road[/I]) while others are long lost and forgotten. Like today’s soap [I]Castle Haven.[/I] It was created by Kevin Laffan (who’d go on to create [I]Emmerdale Farm[/I]) and is probably best remembered (if at all) for starring a number of future soap legends including Roy Barraclough ([I]Corrie’s[/I] Alec Gilroy), Kathy Staff ([I]Crossroads[/I]’ Ms Luke), Gretchen Franklin ([I]EE’s[/I] Ethel) and Jill Summers ([I]Corrie’s[/I] Phyllis). Apparently only 15 minutes of the show survives today (from a recording of a YTV screening) as the show’s tapes were wiped after transmission. [ATTACH type="full"]53766[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
