Sure.. I tried a few to find replacements for the boring US soaps. I still love my GH and YR but there are way better soaps out there.

But interesting that one year after Germany did their soap opera verbotene liebe that the they from Sweden did their own. Never heard about it. I just know that Poland did a version of their own of “Unter uns”..

I will check this Swedish version out

Through the years, I've seen Cento Vetrine (Italian soap) meaning "Hundred Windows", and is set in a shopping mall, if I remember correctly (hence the name

 ).

There was also Incantessimo (Magic spell), which is also an Italian soap. That was hugely popular in my country.

Obviously I have watched Croatian version of Germany's Verbotene Liebe. This was Croatia's first attempt at having an ongoing soap opera and it ran for several years before being cancelled. I was into it for a bit, but finally I gave up on. Cast was changing so fast, it was annoying. 

Also, coming from Croatia, we can watch also Serbian channels, so I have seen some of their soap Srecni ljudi (Happy people).

Ugh…. b
BBC has axed “Doctors” which is on the air since 2000. The show started Classics from episode 1 in august… And now BBC has decided coz of the increased inflation in the drama category to cancel it. BUT it will get a proper finale.

Last episode will be filmed in March 2024 and aired in December 2024!

And that after twi of the longest running characters just left the show. Shouldn’t that have helped them to save some money? But hey. They axed Holby and now Doctors

Yes.. U have to get the apps for them.. VRT for Thuis, VTM for Familie and Videoland for GTST.. Then a VPN and a imaginary account set in Belgium (u just have to type in a fake street based there) and one for the Netherlands

There is no other way anymore around it.. U can find Thuis on YouTube with a lot of episodes but not chronological anymore coz it got deleted. A Superfan Daniel uploaded the first 4030 and got even invited to the fan  event and an Article as an honor about him but they gave him a polite warning to delete the episodes and stop uploading new ones. 
 

U can download the episodes from VTM and VRT easily even though it’s all in order there. Videoland I didn’t tried.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking
