Default What area should the next British soap be set in?
If there was to be another British soap where abouts in England would you set it?

Obviously the locations of British soaps are very important as all of them are named after the location.
________________________________

EastEnders is set in the East End of London (really? )

Corrie is set in Manchester

Emmerdale is set in a small country village in Yorkshire

Hollyoaks is set in Chester

Brookside was set in Liverpool

Torbay, blatantly.

Or, as our bloody MP had the cheek to suggest renaming it - Torbados.

Naturally I'll be voting him out ASAP.

Somewhere in London....Maybe in Victoria, set bout a small but posh street, something similar to desperate housewives but the English version, we could have Politicians living on this street as well as a celebrity and a gay couple and a family, a fire fighter and a manager of a big london store.

Moss Side in Manchester. Nothing would ever happen as everybody would be afraid to go out.
