I'm sorry but I'm not really sure what the difference is between US and British soaps in terms of how they appear...

Could someone post a clip from a british soap so I can see? Or at least describe what makes it so much better? Is it more realistic?

Watch all these clips because each show is a little different, but all fantastic!

This is a montage of all the British soaps from the British Soap Awards:

Okay so that montage looked really dramatic (unfortunately I'm in a public library with no headphones so I had to mute it) and I liked the scenes that I saw.

Overall I do agree that they they have a unique look. I'm not quite sure if its better than the US soap look but it does appeal to me. For example that Coronation Street scene looked very fluid and I actually enjoyed the fight.

Plus the Emmerdale scene was great too visually.

So if ATWT is going for that kinda look I won't be disappointed at all. And if it saves costs and keep ATWT on the air then its a good thing.

I think ATWT needs to bring Mark Collier back though. As much as I hated Mike I think it was because he was with Katie after leaving Jennifer. Plus his whole holier than thou attitude was really off putting. However he was definitely a ratings winner IMO. Most of the couples he was a part of had a LOT of fans.

Anyways thanks once again for those clips!
