[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 375506, member: 673"] [I]Doctors[/I] is the last daytime soap standing and was something of an exception as it was the only UK produced daytime soap for the last 15 years. There’d been a steady flow of them (albeit mostly shortlived and usually on ITV) between the 70’s ([I]The Cedar Tree, Take the High Road, Emmerdale[/I]), the 80’s ([I]Together, Gems[/I]) and the 90’s ([I]Families[/I]). ITV tried a few in the early 00’s ([I]Night & Day[/I], the [I]Crossroads[/I] revival) but abandoned ship after [I]The Royal Today[/I] in 2008. As you’ve mentioned, when you compare a 90’s ITV schedule to one nowadays, those slots that had previously been filled by soaps (both UK & imported) are now filled with talk and game shows. [/QUOTE]
