Should the writers of all the soaps be swapped around periodically ?
Every soap seems to have a particular area in which it regularly treads and is too afraid to try other and new things, perhaps with the exception of Home and Away which has done all kinds of plots over the years.
Eastenders- babies, affairs Corrie - old people considering retirement then going back to work and love triangles Hollyoaks and Home and Away - teen love triangles and disasters Neighbours - boring teen stuff Brookside - bombs and explosions In these days of web conferencing, it wouldn't be hard for the writers to swap over every year and bring each soap a mix of stories to captivate us again. |

Does Corrie regularly run retirement storylines? I've been a big Corrie fan for a good ten years now and I wouldn't class that as their speciality! Also swapping writers wouldn't really work imo because surely the whole thing will work better if the writers have a really strong understanding of the Characters they are writing for so as to understand their motivations and how that Character would react in certain situations to make for compelling viewing. Also I can see i leading to a lot on continuity issues a case of too many cooks! |
