A lot was said about this soap when it first hit our screens. It wasn't realistic, the plots where very poor and the acting was woeful. And they where absolutely right.
But something like this would always have taken time and with the amount of money that was spent to create it, it wasn't going to be dropped quickly.
As time progressed the story's have became better, deeper and more life like (well as life like as a soup can allow) and any weak links in the acting where slowly replaced by new faces, and older faces already well known for their acting.
I can see it becoming stronger and stronger and with things such as Eastenders (which has be slammed in the press for stealing some of River City's original ideas) becoming basically silly it will be interesting to see if it could go national.
