MMM....You guys are well ahead of me in your work already. I think that the idea of dead soap stars in parallel with events in the real actor's lives is really interesting and I think this would be a really interesting idea to germinate....

I remember when the actor Bill Owen died, the Sun ran a front page headline that read 'COMPO IS DEAD', which I thought was a bit strange and insensitive. But then, none of the readers wanted to mourn the real guy. It was the idea of him, and his character, that they cared about.
In a similar vein, I think the mirror went for on the front page to announce the decision to kill of Victor Meldrew (must have been a slow news day) with the headline: I DON'T BEREAVE IT
