So Soaps as we know, go on for years and years.. and years, with Corrie celebrating their 50th in December and Eastenders Celebrating their 25th.

But out of the 4 Soaps which do you think will be the first Soap to be axed?

Everything must end at some point right?

I mean Soaps cant go on forever, just like everything cant.

So what will be axed first and Why?
And when do you think this will happen?

I mean look at Brookside, there one minute.. C4 Axe it the next.


Do you think Coronation Street will make it past 2020?
Will Eastenders Live for another 25 Years?
Will Hollyoaks suddenly come to a stop?
And will Life in the Village come to an end before 2020?



I mean could you imagine looking at a News Site one morning and seeing somthing like 'Coronation Street AXED' Or 'BBC Announces Plans to Axe Eastenders!'


I think Emmerdale may end first to be honest, I dont think its as popular as it was?
But maybe im wrong, could Hollyoaks end before Emmerdale?

Some people still dont class Hollyoaks as a Soap, I do though and its on E4 and those of you who have read the news from the past few months will know C4 and E4 are axing alot of their shows like Big Brother & Friends to make way for new shows.. Could Hollyoaks be in danger?

Thing about Brookside is it was moved around the schedule for C4's new baby, Big Brother, which lead to falling audiences, which lead to the axe, its not easy to say which soap would go first due to circumstances like these

And at the moment Emmerdale is bigger than it's been for a while

So Brooksides axing was due to Big Brother?
LOL its weird reading that thinking how much C4 loved their new big thing Big Brother.. and 10 Years on and its going.

lol indeed, that's how fickle C4 is....so actually, I could say Hollyoaks will go first

[MissKittyFantastico]

Hollyoaks definitely.

[Arneldo]

Emmerdale has no place on this earth,


Hollyoaks may not get the 14 million viewers that EastEnders does, but it is still on of C4's most successful shows .... but, sure we all know how C4 treat there most successful shows ... *ahem*

It isn't really. It's struggling to maintain the 1.2 million audience it's getting, and there are plenty of other things tehy could put on at 6.30pm to get just as much.

Emmerdale won't be axed, it's still doing well.

[Jords]

Emmerdale or Hollyoaks.

[Arneldo]

Emmerdale still has an audience, and a loyal one at that.

Hollyoaks have had some AMAZING storylines. McDean, Hannah's eating disorder, Clare Divine - but recently it has gone down the ****ter, and I can't see it being around in 5 years time.

[Scarlett.]

That's the big thing about Hollyoaks, it's audience are teenagers, and teenagers grow up, meaning they dont have loyal following

[flemin]

Definitely Emmerdale or Hollyoaks. They just don't have a big enough audience to compete with Corrie and EE.

[Scarlett.]

6m/7m is a good audience to get daily (ED)

Does Emmerdale really get that many viewers? For some reason I thought it was dying in the ratings

Nope, it gets a fair share :P it didnt get too many on Thursday due to the hour long EE, but when it doesnt clash it gets around 7m

Oh right.

[Smithy]

Hollyoaks.

Emmerdales ratings have been great this year after the new execproducer.
Corrie...well after 50 years they aint gonna axe their Golden Goose
Eastenders - same as Corrie but for the BBC

[LewisMarvel]

i think emmerdale

[Billy]

Emmerdale regularly gets over 8m viewers.

[Braden]

My money's on Emmerdale, because they will end up only being allowed one per channel

[Ruth*Star]

I see Hollyoaks going, Its only getting like 1 million. Emmerdale has a loyal following, Corrie won't be going anywhere at least for 10 years, and Easties will be on for many years to come.

[Firewire]

Hollyoaks or Emmerdale.

[Smithy]

at no-one voting for corrie

[Scarlett.]

Well Corrie has lasted half a century

[Stacey.]

Hollyoaks...
Definitely not Coronation Street, or Eastenders.
