Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carrie Fairchild" data-source="post: 375108" data-attributes="member: 673">As I said, I’ve never watched it bar maybe the time Stefanie Powers showed up in it, so I can’t comment on the quality of the show but one recurring comment that I’ve seen online today is that the show was a great training ground for new writers who’ve come up through the BBC training schemes. One person even described it as “a training scheme that happened to be televised”. Replacing it with something cheaper (likely another daytime docuseries) will leave a gap. Not that that’s a strong enough reason to keep it going, given the cost.In saying that, 24 years (by the time it ends next year) is pretty good innings for a UK daytime drama. With the exception of Emmerdale (which started in daytime before transitioning to evenings), only Crossroads (which danced between daytime and teatime depending on your region) ran for as long.</blockquote>
