The Forests'

The Forests' is a 2011, scripted. medical serial drama by former forum member allthingsuk. Seven episodes were published, sporadically between 15th September 2011 and 15th March 2012, a period of exactly six months. The project never finished its run. Shortly after the final part of the seventh episode was published, allthingsuk announced the project was being suspended, whilst he focused on other projects and his studies. But the project never returned. Instead, a contemporary remake called Emergency Call would succeed it, in August 2013.
===Premise===
The Forests' name makes deliberate use of an apostrophe after the title, rather than "The Forest's". This is because it is set in Waltham Forest, NE London, but also because the name of the hospital itself is The Forests'. In that sense, the borough and the hospital share a mutual relationship with each other, which belongs to both of them, hence the curious apostrophe use.
===Trivia===
The Forests' is the only project with an apostrophe at the end of its title. It is also the only project where every episode is fully scripted (although episodes are not published per se on the forum; they are available externally by clicking on the link and downloading the episode script via the Edge web browser). The project originally began life on the entertainment forum Digital Spy. It is impossible to confirm, due to the forum's age and the passage of time, but it is an informed belief that The Forests' is in fact the earliest project ever published on the forum, apart from Belleview. Beginning on 15th September 2011, it pre-dates the next earliest project - Uncertain Nights - by nearly six weeks.
===Title Card===
The project originally had no title card; one was created for it retroactively in May 2020 by Imago Productions, in conjunction with forum member Jamie. The background image - which depicts a blurred and dramatically angled shot of medical staff milling about in a hopsital ward - was created by Jamie for the successor project, Emergency Call. Imago adapted it for use as The Forests' title card. It features either an identical or very similar font (Yellow Peas Demo), but the title card is bluer and darker. The ogo also has a dark blue shadow.
===Reception===
The Forests' received a very positive reception from the outset, and is a highly-regarded project historically.
===Awards===
At WRIXAS 1, on 5th January 2012, the project won three awards:
*Biggest Shock: The Bomb Attacks
*Best Storyline: Will's Post-Traumatic Stress
*Best Scripted Soap
It won a further award, for 'Best Friendship' (Lisa and Sam), at WRIXAS 2 on 2nd April 2012.
The Forests' picked up four awards in total.
