History and profile

The magazine launched in 1999 as a sister magazine to Inside Soap and as a rival to Soaplife which had taken off just months earlier, the same year.

Out of the three leading soap magazines, it is the only one to have featured a celebrity column written by a soap star. Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter (who plays Chas Dingle), Verity Rushworth (Donna Windsor) and Matthew Bose (Paul Lambert) have all written the celebrity column.

The magazine also launched the All About Soap Bubble Awards.

The magazine had a circulation of 68,487 copies in June 2013.[1] Its circulation was 64,376 copies in February 2014.[2] The magazine's circulation was 34,678 copies in the six months from June to December 2015.[3]

After seventeen years, the magazine ceased publication in December 2016.

gollark: If you want to know about what *you* should do, then it's more reasonable to ask about the morality of actions, not people, because the people way runs into accursed counterfactuals very fast.
gollark: For that the purpose is probably something like "should you be eternally tortured", which I think the answer to is literally always "no".
gollark: First, consider for what purpose you want to know whether it's "evil" or not to have been that person.
gollark: I don't believe in objective evil and I subscribe to the view that asking whether something is "evil" or not is not very useful because it's a very fuzzy word/category.
