I have made a new soap called Hinston High set in a normal busy street which follows the lives of its residents and their ordinary lives. Now i have done 859 episodes of the soap and wrote the sypnosis and storylined all of them but now i am thinking of writing scripts for each episode of my soap. So i was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to write scripts. It is not my strong point so if anyone could please reply and help i would appreciate it. Thanks.

Ok here are the 1st three episodes. I will give you the other five if the rest of you are interested. Ok here we go..............
Hinston High- Episode 1
Pat begins to recieve strange phone calls in which the caller is anonymous and won't speak. Meanwhile, Luke isn't happy when Tanya gets drunk at the pub, and Chloe plucks up the courage to ask Greg out on a date.

Hinston High-Episode 2
Greg and Chloe's date proves successful. Could love be in the air? Meanwhile, Harry and Jenna agree to try for a baby before its too late, and Jack and Alicia fail to be pleased by Christina's new boyfriend, Sean.

Hinston High-Episode 3
Greg wants to know where he stands with Chloe after their date, while Jack lets Christina know that he doesn't approve of Sean, and Pat's anonymous phone caller is revealed but who is it?

yeah look's good but do the episodes get longer as you go along or is it meant to be a little over a sentence an episode?

you do need to explore it more in a bit more detail, you dont have to rush those number of episodes! people will read them! delev deeper otherwise its hard for people to understand characters or get envolved

but keep it up! and keep trying! cant wait for another soap rival to Devon Seas!

to be honest....not really i prefer scripts, but its up to you how you write your story/soap

Your right. I think i need to explore it in more detail. I will stop at the 859 episodes and start putting the first few episodes in more detail. Thanks for the advice :)
