Family Affairs

Since I started watching Family Affairs in November 2004 I've been hooked, I was honestly astonished to find such a fantastic show on a channel such as five. Story lines like Denise's rape, Pete's demise and Chrissy's cancer have kept me glued to my screen for these past 13 months and I for one am going to miss this fabulous soap a great deal when it comes to an end tomorrow night.

Many characters have left Charnham this year and the show has suffered huge losses but still struggled on, August 3rd was a dark day indeed when I was horrified to find Family Affairs had gotten the chop.

While Pete & Eileen Callan, Sadie & Pamela Hargreaves, Dave Matthews, Jake Walker, Lucy Day, Tanya Woods and Conrad Williams were very big parts of the show, It has somehow managed to still entertain me on a daily basis with the 10 new characters introduced these past 2 months - That takes something special that no other genre of television has, something that only soaps have. It seems, with this axing, the great British soap is dying a slow and painful death.

So, to Family Affairs! 2285 episodes on and finally coming to an end, We'll miss you!
