Soap Origins
1. When and where did soap operas begin?
In the United Kingdom, soap operas are one of the most popular genres, most being broadcast during prime time. In comparison to US serials which frequently portray romantic storylines in sumptuous and glamorous locales, most UK soap operas focus on more everyday, working-class communities.
The most popular soaps are Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Doctors, and the Australian produced Neighbours and Home and Away. The first three of these are consistently among the highest-rated shows on British television.
The 1986 Christmas Day episode of EastEnders is often given as the highest-rated UK soap opera episode ever, with 30.15 million viewers (in 2007, the UK had approximately 54 million viewers). The figure of 30.15 million was actually a combination of the original broadcast which had just over 19 million viewers, and the Sunday omnibus edition with 10 million viewers. The combined 30.15 million audience figure often sees it attributed as the highest-rated program in UK television for the 1980s, comparable to the records set by the 1970 splashdown of Apollo 13 (28.6 million viewers), and Princess Diana's funeral in 1997 (32.1 million viewers).
Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale are popularly known as the "flagship" soaps, as they are the highest rating programmes for ITV and the BBC respectively. Poor ratings for a UK flagship serial sometimes brings with it questions about the associated channel. The soaps are so popular they are not routinely scheduled against each other. Episodes of serials have clashed only on isolated occasions when extended episodes have been screened.

Hollyoaks Notes
Media Notes
• Nikon sponcering Hollyoaks, promotion for their camera for teens to buy.
• 2 shot – “Paul” dominates the frame. Inside a house. Lighting – window light shining through. “Mercedes” negative body language, hair covering face, looking down, softer focus.
• Estab. Shot, kitchen. “Mercedes” again, continued story. Dominating foreground with “Jackie” in the background. Lighting changed again, artificial.
• “Paul” watching “Mercedes” and “Riley”. Proving the point of obsession. Music sounds like heartbeat – creates tension.
• Office. “Jackie” in an office (blinds, desk etc...) sneaking around, crawling, looking for something. Editing is letting us know whats happening, find something in desk. MCU reaction shot.
• ECU of phone showing 5 missed calls from “Jackie”. Over the shoulder shot.
• 2 shot. “Paul” dominates the shot again, he is above “Mercedes” in the shot. Can’t see much of her face, vulnerable.
• “it’s Mercy, she is in danger!” in a hospital, leaving. Cuts to next shot
• “Jackie” runs towards a door, behind the door “Paul” and “Mercedes” possibly being murdered. Cliffhanger

- Music is non diegetic and sounds like a heartbeat. increases tension and adds to the atmosphere of the scene(s).
- fast editing shows the show for the next few weeks within a few seconds.
- ends on a cliffhanger to draw in more viewers.
