History and profile
In 1999, the magazine was first launched[2] just for one issue to print pictures from The British Soap Awards as sister TV listings magazine, What's on TV did not have enough space to print all the backstage pictures. Its selling figures were impressive and a second issue came out shortly afterwards. Since the late 1990s, Soaplife has made 145 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.
Soaplife belongs to IPC Media's family of television magazines (now Time Inc. UK), which form the sub-group TX. This includes What's on TV, TV Easy and TV & Satellite Week and TV Times.
