About Eastenders
The popular prime-time soap opera EastEnders made its first television debut in the mid 1980's in the United Kingdom. It quickly became a guilty pleasure for many people and remains one of the most watched television shows in the United Kingdom. EastEnders became so popular in fact, that it knocked Britain's beloved Coronation Street out of the spot it had held as the number one rated soap opera for decades.
EastEnders has also won many British Soap Awards such as Most Popular Serial Drama and Best Soap, as well as British Academy Television Awards like Best British Soap. Both EastEnders and Coronation Street currently remain extremely popular among both fans and critics.
The show was created by producer Julia Smith and editor Tom Holland. Some of the characters names and story lines are drawn from Smith and Holland's personal familial experiences, with a little extra drama thrown in there, of course. It is a soap opera after all and what kind of soap doesn't have a whole lot of drama?
