Why are "Coronation Street • Doctors • Emmerdale • EastEnders • Hollyoaks" written across the top? Why aren't they in an appropriate category? What makes them so special? --19:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.159.142 ( talk)
I notice one of the edit comments says: "EastEnders, Hollyoaks, Corrie, Emmerdale and Doctors are British soaps - not just English!" I beg to differ. They each of these soaps is set somewhere in England. Eastenders = London; Hollyoaks = Cheshire; Corrie = Manchester; Emmerdale = West Yorkshire. The only possible exception to this is Doctors which is set in a fictional place called "Letherbridge" which doesn't seem to have been given a general locale as far as I've seen. -- 82.69.159.142 ( talk) 19:36, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Are these truly soaps?
The fact that the template feels the need to separate them out and call them "dramas" suggests a lack of confidence that they are. If they're not, then what are they doing here at all? 86.165.23.169 ( talk) 20:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC).
Casualty and Holby City are not soaps. Fullstop. End of. (Although the quality of Casualty is little above soap level these days). Casualty and Holby City are both medical dramas, which is the generally held viewpoint of the two shows production teams. -- DrPatrickSpiller ( talk) 12:09, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
As Neighbours is back in production, does it need to be moved from the defunct section? Dunarc ( talk) 21:21, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
