The Soaps During Lockdown
I don't know if it's just me but are you guys starting to care less about the soaps during the lockdown? I am a massive Eastenders fan but for the first time I can honestly say that I am not to bothered if I watch it or not. I think it might have something to do with the cut from four episodes to two. It is much harder to keep up with it and what with the daily drama that is playing out on our tv sets, it's hard to take the fictional dramas of Albert Square that seriously. Are you guys finding it harder to care about the soap plotlines during the pandemic?

From my POV, its impossible for me to care less about them than I ever have. :)

It will be interesting if for once they actually mention a huge worldwide pandemic when they finally return.

Words cannot describe how I feel about it this:
https://news.sky.com/story/coronavir...sodes-11982688 How sad and pathetic that the only thing they can find to replace coronation street when they have run out of new episodes is old episodes. When we have discussed soaps and terrestrial tv in the past I have questioned the lack of quality US programming and how much we are missing out on. I can rattle off tonnes of old series they could put on in place of Coronation Street. Why not do X-Files from the start or Heroes or Lost? If it is a questions of the demographic put Grey's Anatomy on, there are 16 full seasons so even if you put an episode on a day like Coronation Street you still got enough to keep you going several months until they can resume filming. It does my head in and it is like they have got tunnel vision for shit. If anything was going to give them a kick up the ass and make them think outside the box and broaden their horizons this would be but all they are doing is stooping to a new low. |

Not a lover of modern soaps personally but sometimes one has to grin and bear it.

Or people might rediscover life beyond TV and do something more productive. Gardening, DIY, knitting, homebrew, that sort of thing ;) Better than wasting an incredible amount of time on all the latest soap vitriol. |

Re: The Soaps During Lockdown
Well they are wrong. We know best :D

Re: The Soaps During Lockdown
I don't see what the problem is either. Soap lovers will expect something similar, even if it means going backwards. I would take that when Eastenders runs out of episodes

Re: The Soaps During Lockdown
have you ever watched Grey's Anatomy?
