I AGREE with the sentiments expressed by Tony Kelly regarding the “family subjects” now being aired by the soaps (HAS, July 16).
I can only speak from watching Emmerdale and Eastenders; both have storylines involving same-sex relationships.
I would suggest that the explicit scenes shown would be more suitable for airing after the 9.00pm watershed, if there is still one?
I also think most of the female characters in Emmerdale are the most amoral in soap land.
That said, I will be watching the next episodes agog as usual.
Am I a hypocrite? You decide.
Lydia Jackson, Shildon.
