Message: <blockquote data-quote="soapfan" data-source="post: 113267" data-attributes="member: 354">I think Family Affairs should be brought back to replace the void left by Emmerdale if and when Emmerdale gets axed. Emmerdale is too far away from its 1970s roots, they've no links to that era whatsoever.EastEnders ought to be axed as it was only launched to rival Coronation street, where EastEnders is a load of depressing rubbish no matter how hard it tries against Coronation street, the BBC have allowed EastEnders to go on air without a clue, when Family Affairs in London's West End, had more potential.  Hollyoaks ought to be axed too and and in replacement of Hollyoaks, the effort from Lime Pictures going towards the Brookside spin-off catch up(s) in a series as mentioned on another thread.Family Affairs was the Coronation street of the south. The only mistake Coronation street made was going from 2 nights a week to 3 nights a week in 1989 or 1990, which caused todays situation with ratings wars as the other soaps followed suit shortly afterwards. Having said that, Coronation street has had a good kick up the backside since Les and Cilla were axed. Unforunately Brian Park was allowed near both Coronation street and Family Affairs though.</blockquote>
