Soap analysis- Eastenders


Eastenders is a conventional British Soap Opera which has been running since 1985. The fact that it has been running for so long without any problems shows it is successful. Its storylines revolve around the lives of the people who live in the fictional borough called Walford in the East End of London, and their lives and how they live within their community which includes a pub, street market, night club, community centre, cafe, a park, allotments and a variety of other small buisnesses.

The programme has come a long way, from having just two episodes broadcasted every week, to four episodes being broadcasted each week today, including an omnibus edition which screens on Sunday afternoons.

This soap is a great example of a successful soap, and how the same character can remain within the soap for many years, and still get audiences after more than 25 years.

We want our soap to have this effect on our audiences.
