I liked it in the old days but haven't kept up with it for years. It all got too silly. Much could be said of Home & Away.
Old but spicey!

As some of you know, I write for a Neighbours website. Like Oldspice, I think its best days are over, and I mainly write nostalgic pieces. I watch again now and it's better than it has been for years, but back when I was a kid I equated missing an episode with losing a limb!

I used to watch it but it's all got too silly. Like most soaps.

Yes, it used to be 18 months ahead, but it goes off air for around four - seven weeks in the summer in Australia. Because the UK doesn't have this gap, we've caught up and are now only around three months behind.

Most soaps got a little too serious and depressing.
