After Channel 5 won the rights for Neighbours, the BBC also had Out of the Blue, but that failed as well. There was Night and Day, Crossroads and even The Royal Today, but they all failed to take. ITV spent most of the early 2000s trying to launch a daytime soap to rival Doctors. I seem to remember Channel 4 tried a daytime drama about a court house with each episode having a different court case, but I don't think that was too successful either. One thing that might be good is a daytime soap. The only channels that could potentially launch a soap I think are Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV2 or Sky One.
ITV has got its two big soaps, there's really no room for any more on there. It's a relatively cheap way of making drama.
I'm surprised the likes of Amazon Prime, Netflix etc. I don't think it matters if a new soap is not original, as long as it offers something a bit different - like a hospital soap or a crime soap etc. The acting, writing and continuity are not as good as they were years ago. It's hard to launch a new soap in this environment because the remaining soaps produce so many episodes. What you may get is continuing drama (like Holby City) that takes a break during the summer or winter. ITV and the BBC have demonstrated their trust in their flagship soaps by building new outdoor sets, I don't think they have the finances to launch a new soap. I'm sorry but I'm having difficulty keeping up with Coronation Street, and it's the only soap I watch! Viewers tar soaps with the same brush so they will do well do garner a loyal fanbase.Ĥ) Investment. Every trick in the soap book has been used.ģ) Commitment to a new soap. Stay tuned to General Hospital weekdays to see how these stories play out.Can't see a new soap being launched, certainly in my lifetime and on the big networks.ġ) What would the purpose be of launching a new soap? Coronation Street depicted social realism and the working class, Emmerdale showcased rural life, Brookside and EastEnders tackled social taboos of the time.Ģ) What storylines would this new soap opera tackle? Weddings, funerals, affairs, fights, tears, laughter, freak weather storm, explosions, rape, prostitution, LGBT, poverty, running a business.and that pretty much covers the last 15 years. Meanwhile, his girlfriend, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) vows to help Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) get out of his world hacking mess that could get him in trouble with the feds.įinally, Carly Who Needs A New Last Name (Laura Wright) pleads with the city of Jacksonville, FL to let her adoptive mother stay buried where she is and not bring her to Port Charles where she can actually look after her grave. To that end, Nina uses her clout as Metro Court owner to get Victor kicked out of his room for a while so Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Valentin can get in and search it for any clues that will get him access to Charlotte.ĭante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna)feels a little bad about what happened to Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) at Sonny’s hand, but he still doesn’t trust the guy and has a few questions for him. His son is desperate to thwart him and get to Charlotte and now Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) seems to be on board, as does Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers). And he may soon learn he doesn’t have anything under control with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) either. Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) thinks he has everything under control with Nikolas, Esme, and Ava Jerome (Maura West) but that is the furthest thing from the truth.
