Well apart from Eastenders and Neighbours from 2 years ago, there are no old soaps on sky anymore. Why is this? I keep on hearing stories that old soaps are gonna be repeated from the beginning but it always seems to fall through. I think it's probably because they're too expensive to show now or maybe cause all the actors would want royalties and with so many actors and actresses that have appeared in soaps over the years, that could be a problem. I wouldn't mind ITV4 showing Classic Coronation Street.

Sky Soap should return - I think everyone would want to see each soap from the start.

Also, another chance to see shows like Brookside, Family Affairs and Crossroads would be fabulous

I miss Brookie and Family Affairs, and would love to see tham again. Can't stand EE or Corrie or Emmerdale.

Thank God for River City

Their is allways talk about a soap channel but the problem is the cost of soaps which are very expensive, sadly they tried it and it failed allthough it was only on air for 4 hours a day.
