The longevity of the show

[sindikatas]

I also voted for more than 10 years.The show lasted already too long to finish so soon

5-10yrs probably. I think it'll end before the other soaps most likely.

With the way it's being run at the moment I estimate it will last maybe 3-5 years. The storylines being churned out at present just aren't up to scratch and every episode has the same tired and 'samey' feel.

I've voted for more than 10 years - I hope it does!

I said more than 10 years because you may think there's nowhere else to go with the show but they're are so many things they could do with it

[Light of the Bay]

You're right. There is a lot of potential left if the right people are in charge - Neighbours is an example of this; it's going from strength to strength at the moment.

I voted more than 10 years but I wouldn't be surprised if it was moved to one of the other digital channels by then, like Neighbours was.

I voted for more than 10 years. I think it will outlive its Melbourne rival.

Home and Away will sure be celebrating 30 years in January 2018, only just over 4 years away now. And beyond.

I voted more than 10 years as well. The show has to keep evolving to ensure its survival, but at the same time not lose its roots as well.

I think Neighbours will sustain itself despite it's inconsistent ratings on ELEVEN at the moment. It's too popular in Britain for it to go extinct.

but at the same time not lose its roots as well.

I think it's already done that. Who knows how long it will go on for though. Ten years is a long time if you think back to what both H&A and Neighbours were like in 2003. But the format is so open that I can see it going on and on. Whether I'll ever like it again I suppose I'll have to wait and see. If they just build on the current format going forward, I wont be tuning in. It's not my kind of show.
