Wish they would air the soaps at the weekends too

I wish Corrie, Emmerdale and EastEnders were on at the weekends as well. Would anyone else like that too or am I alone with that thought?

I've never watched one so wouldn't want more of them. Perfectly good tv on today 🎱

HilaryBriss · 17/04/2021 21:13

No, they are on enough during the week without weekends as well!

Christ no. Endless brain rot. I wish they'd cancel them all

No. I enjoy them during the week but I’m glad to have the break from them at the weekend as they can be stressful watching these days! Grin

Think of the relentless schedules the actors, actresses and crew have. If you had weekend editions as well, then they would stay for even shorter periods and more would have health problems. Twice a week half hour each show should be the maximum.

I'm a soap geek so yeah I'd love the to be on at a weekend too!

Saz432 · 17/04/2021 21:44

God no. As if it’s not crappy enough having to churn out as many as they do for the writers, actors and crew. They should be once a week, not every sodding day.

IoIdoIdoOoh · 17/04/2021 21:45

I think they are on enough as it is, if I miss an episode of corrie or emmerdale I barely have time to catch up before another episode is broadcast.
I actually preferred it in lockdown #1 when they reduced the amount of episodes a week.

StillMedusa · 17/04/2021 21:46

God no. When I rule the world the first thing to go will be soaps and 'reality' tv shows! Brain numbing stuff.

Creamcrackersandricecakes · 17/04/2021 21:49

God no! If I had my way they'd all be limited to one half hour episode a week each - they're on constantly!

Smartiepants79 · 17/04/2021 21:55

I think they’re all a load of rubbish. So no. I don’t want any more of my tv time taken up with them!
There’s got to be something else on that’s worth you watching?

userxx · 17/04/2021 22:01

Jesus, don't wish that on us!! Absolute shite, the lot of them.

Woodpecker22 · 18/04/2021 05:57

I am missing the archers since it reduced from 6 to 4 days a week as I used it to go to sleep.

cantbeforeal · 18/04/2021 06:09

Yessss I miss Hollyoaks at the weekend

HardcoreParkour · 18/04/2021 20:47

Yes OP, I'm with you!!

Bluntness100 · 18/04/2021 20:49

No, stop watching them for awhile and honestly you’ll loose all desire to watch them ever again,
