There seem to be several people around here who watch many U.S soaps despite living in Britain. I asked this before but I can't remember what was said now

I know there is SB on Five, and General Hospital on some Freeview channel (which I can't get, though I have all the digital channels).

Are there are any other soaps??

A lot of the US soaps have been shown at some point.

There used to be a channel on Sky analogue called Sky Soap that ran Loving, Peyton Place, As the world turns, Guiding light, Another World among others.

Living TV used to show The Young and the Restless as well as The Bold and the Beautiful.

Five used to show The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of our Lives.

So the only ones showing now are General Hospital (abc1) which I'm watching right now and Sunset Beach (five).

Well that's a shame. I'm surprised LivingTV, Five, one of the ITV channels, Sky One etc, don't show anything.

Maybe now we have ITV3 we might get a U.S soap on there, since they showed SB a few years back..

Sunset Beach was at one point the number one rated programme on ITV2.

However even at number 1 the top rating was less that 100,000 and it was probably too expensive and that's why they took it off.

Yeah i agree! There are plenty of channels that could show a good US soap, Passions would fit very well in LivingTV's schedule, B&B/Y&R could go on ITV2/3 or Hallmark, Days of our Lives on Sky One!
