Are there just some stories that are just too sensitive for Soap Operas to cover?

• 1.

2. 3. 4. TV personality Anne Diamond, who lost her own baby in 1991, said the storyline was a crass twist to an otherwise credible storyline. It has not done one iota of good in educating a young audience about cot death.
the story in Eastenders is sick to let them say good bye to there son , then months later find it was living in the street all the time bad taste , well I to say goodbye to the show
I think people should boycott Eastenders it's a sick storyline. The fact that we have to wait till spring for it to be fixed. No one should vote for them at the national TV awards this month
5. 6. 7. 8. Soap operas on British televisionhave consistently been criticized for not
Representing ethnic characters.
