As a society, we're progressing into a new way of watching our favourite shows - with Netflix and Amazon Prime often releasing full series at once instead of on an episode-by-episode basis. While at the moment there seems to still be a room for soaps (Peggy's final episode peaked at 8million last night), how long will soaps last in theory? By their nature, they can't really be released in batches...

No but sometimes I will watch 3 or 4 episodes online on a weekend.

I think the format has to dramatically evolve: more audience participation.

The tradtional just static stare at the screen viewer experience is rapidly dying out.

I think soaps will always be present in some form or another, In about 20 years they may start to move online (possibly where episodes will be shown first) but I think they will still be repeated on mainstream television too. Soaps are like the news, they will always be there and won't die out imo.
