[QUOTE="Pamela_E, post: 314897, member: 315"] And unfortunatly those young people 37 years ago are now older people. And young people are just not watching soaps anymore. I love classic Eastenders and the ads are depressing. It's like "you will die soon if you are old enough to like this" :D 37 years is good for a TV show but once an episode has airred it has a life span of maybe 7 days, unlike a drama which lasts for years in reruns or on Netflix. We are seeing in our soaps what happened in the US to daytime soaps. The remaining ones seem to live on a knives edge but a mass cull of others. I think in the next 15 years they will all be gone.
