Members FrenchFan Posted August 29, 2016 Members Share Posted August 29, 2016 I agree. I try to watch all the daily soaps in English: the 4 from US, the 4 from UK, Neighbours, Home and Away, Shortland Street and I just added Fair City from Ireland. Don't think I will watch Red Rock and River City as they are weekly soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted August 29, 2016 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2016 With the recent news of Red Rock only having a one hour episode per week, it's now much more in line with shows like Casualty or Holby City. So I really wouldn't consider it a true soap opera at all anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted August 30, 2016 Members Share Posted August 30, 2016 Both the now-defunct Glenroe (the Emmerdale of Ireland) and Fair City aired on my local PBS station in NY-Ch 31, which no longer exists. It was also the first station in my area to air EastEnders and on Sunday nights at 7 pm they would also air Japanese soaps, which were all limited series. One of them starred an incredibly charismatic actor who I instantly recognized walking in the theatre district with friends of his a few years after it ran. I stopped to tell him how much I enjoyed his work. He and his friends looked genuinely taken aback, which I guess was to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
