I voted for more than 10 years, because .......

.......i can't see it going anywhere - given how long its been with us [approaching a quarter century] and well it consistently rates.

Just an observation. I love past episodes of the show but it's not those which will carry it into the future. It can't survive on nostalgia. It's todays and future storylines and ratings which will ensure its survival.

I can't see the show ending any time soon but forever's a long time so I hedged my bet slightly and voted for 10 years.But I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts longer.

I said 10 years but like Red, I would not be surprised if it last longer

[Lesley Bee]

I went for more than 10 years, its lasted this long so far, so why not

[MatildaHunterFan]

I voted for 10 years but maybe it'll last more than 10 further ones....

I said over 10 years.

I think these types of shows go on for many years. In the UK there is a show called Coronation Street that has been on air for more than 50 years now. And in America there was one for more than 40 years (ended last year) I think soaps have a long life in them. In saying that, the cast will probably be entirely different in 10 years with characters come in and establishing themselves over the next 10 years. Regardless of this, the show will still get it's viewers.

I voted for more than ten years.. even though I believe it isn't as good as it used to be, I can't see it going anywhere for a long time.
