Funny how "Sons and Daughters", "Blue Heelers", "Neighbours" and "Home and Away" are not mentioned in this page. The person who wrote this clearly thinks people outside the US do not have their own soaps.

Yes please do so. I accessed this page expecting to see information about the MANY Australian soaps popular in the British Isles. Not a word.-- Dub8lad1 ( talk) 01:00, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
I disagree, 'daytime soap opera' may have a specific meaning in some parts of the US, but that is obscure and would require a disambiguations since most of the world read it as soap operas on during the day. No mention of soap operas screened in Australia from other parts of the world. Not a neutral point of view at all, please fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.174.106.181 ( talk) 08:50, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Neither show is a 'soap opera' in the sense of the others included here (most obviously because both are produced with once-a-week episodes, not multiple episodes per week). I'm planning to remove both unless someone can come up with a good argument for their inclusion here. Gusworld ( talk) 09:18, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Both shows are soap operas becuase they have an ensemble cast and cast members are put on main or recurring status, only soap operas do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.160.15.99 ( talk) 06:28, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
I see a little edit warring going in the section describe how B&B episodes are cut for time/classification. This section really needs sources -- it strikes me as excessively lengthy but also missing some details (why the change happened on that date, which show screened before it, whether this affected the AM repeats of the show etc). A reliable source would also stop arguments over how much time was being trimmed. I'll see what I can hunt down, but suspect this might be better handled by people more versed in the topic (and with access to soap magazines). Gusworld ( talk) 08:52, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
I am happy to provide more info regarding the cuts Network Ten are making to B&B - let me know what is needed. I would prefer the paragraph about the cuts not be deleted, it's important information for the viewer. Boldtalk ( talk) 14:28, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
I once again removed the revised paragraph about the cuts because it's still entirely unsourced. The only reference supplied is an episode number, which is not a source for a detailed description of cuts and changes. There was also some non-neutral phrasing ("refused", "unwarranted"). A reliable source is needed to make these claims: that is, a reference to a specific and reputable publication which discusses the cuts. Original research by an individual doesn't qualify. Gusworld ( talk) 02:40, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Right now, this article has current Australian cast member lists for two shows: The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless. This seems to me to be unsuitable content for several reasons, in rough order of importance:
I recognise that there are contributors going to the effort of updating these lists quite often, but I can't help thinking that effort would be better used elsewhere. Given its topic, this article should certainly be pointing out the transmission gaps between original and Australian broadcast for these shows, but all the extra information on cast members violates guidelines and isn't sourced. Hence I think it should be removed. Thoughts? Gusworld ( talk) 03:07, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
