UKTV: Eastenders Summer Trailer
The above video is a trailer for the long running BBC One soap opera Eastenders showing some of the upcoming drama for over the Summer. The show has been struggling over recent times with cast changes and slipping ratings which will hopefully improve. This trailer does showcase some of the upcoming drama but improving the ratings over the traditional slow period of Summer will be tough. The key to a soap opera is stability with the old favorites and then you add in newer interesting characters some may become old favorites but many will be around for a while and then leave once their story arc is over. The problem with Eastenders at the moment is with so many long running characters having left, their is less connection with the past and some longtime viewers may leave with them. I hope Eastenders picks up after the slower Summer months and, ratings improve for a show with such a long history it would be a shame to see it gone. [Video Courtesy Of The BBC]
