Thanks for letting us know!

That person has uploaded a lot of 1998 and a few more from the 00’s. I don’t know why the audience wasn’t invested in this soap? I mean they tolerate Hollyoaks which was ten times worse than this

Hollyoaks of 1998 was likely more appealing to a younger audience.

I imagine being on Channel 5 didn't help - wasn't the channel just starting at the time?

Indeed. Channel 5 started at the end of March 1997. Hollyoaks had been on the air nearly a year and a half at that point and even by 1998 when Mal Young left to join the BBC and Pearson (which became Talkback Thames) turned to Brian Park and Liz Lake, Hollyoaks had established not only it’s young fanbase, but Phil Redmond and long term series producer Jo Hallows had cultivated a beautiful, fun and largely carefree style that the said audience were responsive to- even if the acting was ropey.

Thanks for the extra info. In the long run I think Hallows was the best producer they had.

I hardly go on the Digital Spy soap forum, but I did today and I’m reminded that it is 20 years since Family Affairs aired its last episode.
