[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 353796, member: 33"] Was that Jane Smith? I don't remember much about the character other than she was in the Salvation Army and I liked her very much. When [I]Crossroads [/I]was originally broadcast, Thames TV took it off air for a while because they thought London viewers didn't want to watch a Birmingham soap opera. There was uproar amongst fans and eventually it was brought back. It meant for a while London was some months behind the rest of the country on which episodes was being screened. For example, and Christmas at [I]Crossroads [/I]was broadcast in the spring or summer. Probably my earliest memory of [I]Crossroads [/I]was a special episode which was made to bring London viewers up to date so they could watch Meg's wedding at the same time as the rest of the country. It was filmed in Meg's sitting room, and I definitely remember Sandy and Meg being there and possibly Jill and David might have been there too. They spoke directly into the camera and filled viewers in on how various ongoing storylines progressed and after the commercial break, it went back to the second half of an episode but with a time jump to put London in sync with everyone else. Was that Stephanie De Sykes? She sang a song called [I]I Was Born With A Smile On My Face[/I] which through the power and popularity of [I]Crossroads[/I], made the top 10 of the UK singles charts.
