Soap storylines that have never been done before?
I was just wondering, is there anything that soaps haven't done before collectively? This doesn't just have to be storylines, merely plot devices or character traits. What have we yet to see a soap tackle?
Do soaps have an expiration date? When will the day come that every issue has been covered and nothing really feels "original" anymore? |

Has the story on Neighbours been done before? Nasty Dr. Nick lied that Paul has cancer so Paul will be dependent on him and fund his cancer research centre. Paul is getting genuinely sick now because of the chemo. it's twisted but quite good.

They did this on Emmerdale where Sally drugged Ashley and slept with him.

Islamic extremism - sadly a massive issue in the UK today.
I only watch Eastenders and so I am absolutely certain the BBC will never have the guts to create such a storyline. |

I think that is an interesting story to tell. It's been done many times on US soaps, but is always played as the woman drugging a guy to have sex with, and then writing it off as just a scheme; but if you switch the genders, the male character would be accused of rape. Did Ashley recognise it as being rape?
However, after a few episodes (I can't remember how many, but it wasn't a long time) the police caught Sally, as she'd done loads of other stuff as well to their family, it was never spoken about again. |
