I am a Brummie and remember Crossroads from my childhood, I could never relate to the other English soaps and I think this is the reason why.
It answers the question of why CrossRoads had to end the way it did and why the other soaps have kept going,
Benny was one of my favourite characters and Miss Diana, but without Meg the show didn't have a leading lady. They is only so much you can do in a motel, which was so out of place in the Birmingham I know.
It was a bit awkward listening to the Brummie's accent during the show, but it is what it is and I think it shows a very positive view of what happens to a very strong women.
