For years it's been Eastenders, Corrie, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks but nothing new and fresh.

Would anyone else love there to be a brand new weekly soap similar to others?

I wouldn't mind seeing something in a daytime slot. We have enough in the Prime Time areas.

I love it if Crossroads was revived, but I'd imagine after 2 failed attempts it's unlikely.

I think if the rumoured Eldorado was to be revived it would work very well in a daytime slot, but then what would happen to already daytime soap Doctors, Unless it was reduced to a 3 episode a week soap and we had 2 episodes of Eldorado a week.

Doctors arrived in 2000 and still going strong. Everything else since then hasn't worked
(Echo Beach,Out of the blue,Night & Day,Crossroads return) with everyone having gone digital i doubt we will get a new soap anytime soon

A 5 oclock soap everynight would be good.

Yeah exactly, but looking at the current schedule's, something would have to be removed!!

I think the best place in the schedules would be for a late night soap - 10pm or something like that. They could also go way more explicit with language, sex, violence etc than any of the others.
