I didn't know about it until Stan Stennett said about them being in the script it has a ---- optional cut ----- line above and below the bit that can be kept or lost, supposedly without losing any key plot.
Lew Grade said 'make me an American style soap' and Reg Watson went off and created one with lots of beige sets and plots that would make the cast of As The World Turns think 'really'? 😗
Crossroads is never crazy. Ever.
It is quite amazing the way its recorded 'as live' with some scenes having "optional lines" which will be kept or removed depending if the time is under/over running and they're told a few minutes before that scene starts which version they're doing. Nightmare.

Always amazes me sometimes how it can be!
We used to reside in London with her friend in 2007/8 and she would oft pop in, a talent even then.

@crossroadsmotel.bsky.social is dealing with nasty attitudes towards a black family. Their neighbour is a right little squirt when he wants to be. More and more snide and weasly for a while, and now is full-on F*rage. Awful.
Sometimes #Crossroads is just fab.

April 4th 1988, three episodes of Crossroads are edited together to give it a bumper goodbye at 6-15 pm. Jane Rossington appears on Wogan over on BBC One and talks to Terry while the last fifteen minutes of Crossroads airs on ITV.

Yeah you’re right to be jealous
The paintings of 'Jill and Sandy' made by Rex Spencer, set designer, from real photographs of Jane Rossington and Roger Tonge. They were given to Jane in 1982, but later stolen from a storage unit.
Completely natural arrangement of characters. #Crossroads
Nice to see the inside bag covering the Sainsburys logo rather than tape over it as they usually did. 😆
Noele with John Bentley as Meg and Hugh in Crossroads, their first 'engagement photo' in 1965 and then nine years later for their third time lucky for the characters...

Classic #Crossroads. After the success of Arthur’s last phone call, they’ve given him another!
