I don't think audiences now would have the patience and attention span to watch a soap unfold and be created slowly. It's all too fast paced and storylines that whack you over the head with a 10lb hammer. I think it's gotten how it is in America with the daytime soaps. They cost too much to produce so to create a new one would be risky for any channel. There have been a few expensive bombs like you mentioned and El Dordao. And the big three that are on at the moment seem to be on all the time. I got totally sick of seeing Corrie. Two episodes a night... There is just no need, especially when it's going through a crappy phase. And Emmerdale seems to be on 5 nights a week? Then there are Hollyoaks and EastEnders, I cant see the BBC ever doing another soap.</p></blockquote><p></p>
