Next Live Soap Episode?
Is Eastenders, Hollyoaks or Coronation Street going to do a live episode for their 30th, 20th and 55th birthdays?

Hopefully not.
I've never understood the fuss about live episodes. A live episode doesn't mean better stories, or better stunts/ production values.... It only means 'there is a chance that the episode could go horribly wrong and the show will be ridiculed for weeks'. The actual content of the episode gets ZERO benefits from being live. I get that it is 'event television' (aka, a ratings fad) and it is all a bit exciting, but I would be MUCH more impressed if any of the soaps could pull off a story with as many layers/ story strands as the Kat/ Zoe reveal, now that would be something... |

Coronation Street's 55th anniversary is not really a 'big one' like Eastenders and Hollyoaks celebrating their 30th and 20th anniversaries respectively.
The next live episode will more likely be for Eastenders 30th or Hollyoaks 20th (depends which comes first) |

Well EastEnders turns 30, Hollyoaks 20 (!) and Coronation Street 55 next year so we might get a bumper crop of 3.

Hollyoaks doing one won't pay in the same way EastEnders,Emmerdale and Corrie will.
I doubt it will pull in massive figures. It would just be a waste of Money. I can't see EastEnders doing one tbh. DTC made a comment about 'Been there and done that' it seems he doesn't want a LIVE reveal. Unless we just get a LIVE episode for a wedding or something. Corrie might well be the next if they decide too. |

Eastenders aren't doing one for the 30th.
DTC commented on it and said it's been done, they should try and find something new to do. Most people are thinking an entire flashback episode for the anniversary, which would be more fitting for the story. |

All he said is it wont be a live reveal of the Lucy's killer he didn't rule out a live episode in general ( the BBC may force one on him if they think it would boost ratings)
There's still a chance they'll do one but DTC's answer to that question was that he'd rather do something else. |

I'd like to see a live Hollyoaks. It would be a bit of a pain for them to schedule with the E4 'preview' always being a day early.

He didn't rule out a live episode though did he, he just said he didn't want a live reveal so maybe the aftermath will be Live. I really want Hollyoaks to do one because even though it doesn't get high ratings then Corrie, Emmerdale or Eastenders a live episode would get intrest, possibly ratings could go as high as 3m?
I know you watch Doctors do you think Doctors, Causulty or Holby could do a Live episode in the future. ![]() Holby and Casualty could go LIVE. EastEnders got 16.4m,Corrie 2010 LIVE ep got 14m+and Emmerdale got around 9 m i think. Hollyoaks,Doctors wouldn't get close in their 1:45/6:30 time slots. |

Laughing at some of the memebers of Hollyoaks trying to do a live episode. Mostly the Roscoes.

I don't find live eps to be exciting, it's nice to sit through one & look at what mistakes they make but they're not thrilling entertainment. Once they're done once then there's no point of doing another one.

Live eps have been done. Don't see the point of another.
