Soaplife is a fortnightly UK magazine, released on Tuesday. Storylines of the shows it covers are from soap operas shown in the United Kingdom and from Australia.
Popular soaps featured are EastEnders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Neighbours and Home and Away.
In 1999, it was first launched just for one issue to print pictures from The British Soap Awards as sister TV listings magazine, What's On TV didn't have enough space to print all the backstage pictures. It's selling figures were impressive and a second issue came out shortly afterwards. Since the late 90s Soaplife has made over 140 issues and is the second biggest selling soap opera magazine, behind weekly Inside Soap.
Edited by Hellen Gardner, it offers backstage news and gossip from GMTV's Tina Baker, advanced storyline hot plots, readers' views and competitions.
