In your opinion, do too many people die in soaps? I know it has to have entertainment factor but it gets to the point when if you think of a characters history, most of their family/friends have died. I know that is sometimes realistic but not when the majority have been murdered/died in freak accidents.

Poll incoming.

Hollyoaks does

[Cal.]

Myra McQueen for example has had a son who threw himself off a cliff, a daughter who died in a church explosion and a daughter who died in a train explosion - this has all happened in the last 6 years. She also has an adoptive granddaughter who was murdered in hospital recovering from being shot.

Ronnie Mitchell has had a daughter who got run over, a son who died of SIDS and another unborn baby who died. Again all in the last 6 years.

Eric Pollard has had a wife who died when a plane crashed into the village and another wife who died when a helicopter crashed into the same village.

Kill them all

Only the trash ones

Hollyoaks and EastEnders do. Corrie/Emmerdale usually tone it down a bit.

[Ashley.]

Hollyoaks is the worst at this.

EastEnders isn't too bad, seven characters have died in the past year but most of them were minor deaths such as Cyril & Carol which didn't happen in the Square.

I think, with Ronnie, it was more "greek tragedy" which is made up of realistic, but very rare events. It's not like everything she touched just wilted, it was all part of a storyline about her downfall. I found it quite interesting.

[Cal.]

Oh yeah - Martha Kane also had a daughter who died in a flat explosion and a son who was skewered by a psychopath on the same DAY.

Hollyoaks does the most. I think more people are dying for the 20th anniversary as well mess

[Daniel.]

Hollyoaks

[Cal.]

Only 2 people are apparently dying for the 20th anniversary stunt, which is strange considering I think they killed off 6 people for their 18th oop.

If Hollyoaks was real you'd know to avoid living in that village because you can pretty much predict that you aren't leaving there alive.

It's basically the Murder House of Chester.

[Calderyon]

Nah, i donīt think there is too much. But i only watch Emmerdale, so. Itīs mainly done for gain viewers, since deaths usually bring ratings.

Bollyhoax needs a nuclear strike though.

[Visage]

Not Corrie, not while Dev, Sean, Chesney, Sinead, Kirk, Tyrone & Fiz are still walking the cobbles.
