So, I'd say that all soaps pretty accurately represent this, except EE where there should be more representation.
I'd say homosexuality is pretty well represented in Emmerdale and Corrie also. I don't watch EE anymore or Hollyoaks, so can't comment there.
I would like to see more mental/physical disabilities across the board though.
Edit: I was just thinking... what happened to Lizzie in Emmerdale?”

The actress has been very ill, and is awaiting a transplant at the moment, I believe.
