[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 435999, member: 19949"] I'm currently watching Russell T. Davies' Nolly for the first time. All I know about Crossroads is the title, so this is something new for me. While watching, I've come up with a few questions that neither the miniseries nor the internet can answer, but maybe you can? How many viewers did Nolly's last episode of her original run have? The miniseries and online sources consistently mention a peak of 15 million viewers for Crossroads, but I can't find any data on the much-hyped Nolly exit episode. Did this episode actually see such a significant increase in viewership, or did the number roughly correspond to the usual figures for the soap? Is it known what the producers' original plan for Meg's exit was? Were viewers supposed to only find out they were watching Nolly's last episode while watching? Did the producers themselves want to announce her exit in advance and control the hype? Did they intend to make it seem like Nolly left the soap voluntarily? Was it planned from the beginning that Nolly's exit would generate a huge buzz, or did this only develop due to the intense media attention? The miniseries mentions that Nolly's exit was intended to be the British version of Who Shot JR?. Was this something Russell T. Davies simply wrote into the script, or is there some truth to the Dallas comparison? During my research on the miniseries, I read that Nolly was a ratings disaster for ITV, failing to even crack the weekly top 50 and attracting fewer than a million viewers when it first aired on TV in late 2023. What might have been the reason for this? The miniseries claims that Nolly was glad her character didn't die, but that neither she nor anyone else in the cast was thrilled that Meg started a secret new life because it was out of character. Do Crossroads fans see it the same way? [/QUOTE]
