I really feel all the people who have been cancelled. I would hate to be in that position. So this thread is for all people to vent who have been affected by this big mess. We can't go shouting at Heartlands, as for once they had no control over this. But it doesn't mean you can't get it off your chest. So anyone (even none Heartlands folk who just want to show support and encouragement to the cancelled) come and talk x
