Yes I guess so and how many new fans do soaps get nowadays I suppose. It's just I got back in to Neighbours 6 ish months ago and found it useful as not good with faces! The old faces made it easier though of course. I was not aware of Hollyoaks I used to watch most of the soaps years ago but that was one I never tried to watch. I feel it is maybe aimed at a younger age group than I am, but I guess the same could be said of Home and Away. I don't really want to watch another soap to be honest was happy with Neighbours (even though Paul never ever learns from his mistakes as most of us do!)
No they don't really have alot at the beginning anymore and at the end the character and actor names are so small you can't read them! I do get the point that the opening credits do need reshooting often depending on folk leaving and that costs time and money, but I just found it useful when getting to know Neighbours again. Marilyn in H&A is already doing my head in it! I get there was some sort of chemical thing happened and it has altered her personality but she is vile.. Can't beat Neighbours I think as I lurk on some of our British soap threads and they seem so poor by what people say...
