Crossroads was the first show to put a telephone help line on the end of the programme . Unlike other soaps where ethnic actors were added for simple race storylines, Crossroads added all kinds of actors of all creeds and colours with the basic idea that these people were characters and colour was not the principal reason for casting them. This made Crossroads one of the first soaps to employ many Asian and African actors in the UK.
Yes. An embezzlement storyline was planned. She was syphoning money off from building works and paying for cheap shoddy works, hence the poor quality. She was also fiddling the books with staff pay. They were getting less than the books were showing, hence their poor quality work and reduced intellect. Meg "Turned her back on the motel" because she thought she was about to get busted......
I thought I was quite well acted myself considering the budget had to be stretched over 4 or 5 episodes a week whereas corrie and Emmerdale farm stretched the equivalent budget over 2 episodes a week, bugs me that critics always attacked it for the sake of it when I've seen corrie episodes where cameras hit actors booms where caught in shot, it's very much a product of its time and the techniques in tv at the time didn't allow for the cost of editing but you're quite right it didn't stop millions of people watching, it's just a shame when central took over they didn't have any faith in it
Fantastic series. When I was younger
Absolutely brilliant 👏

Great clip
The other woman in the b/w clip is the actress who played Meg's sister,Kitty but sadly died early on.
Kitty Jarvis played By Beryl Johnstone.
A dead spider in the pudding. Well don't tell everyone lol
Crossroads was tons better then the Eastenders rubbish, Corrie and Crossroads rule.
Bad enough Meg leaving but all her lovely ornaments got burnt - i dont suppose she could get all that many in her handbag on the way out
3:29 ... what did Adam Chance say? ... thats right... he said "suck what?"
She runs a small motel in the midlands, yet can afford a room in the queen mary suite on the QE2.
John Titor That's why the show's budget was so low for all those years - to save up for that one ticket in the distant future! 😁
