History and profile
When Inside Soap was first published in October 1992, it was a monthly magazine. It went on to be published fortnightly in the mid 1990s, before going weekly early in September 2003. The editor has been Steven Murphy since the late 1990s.
Inside Soap traditionally provides interviews from actors who play characters in the soap operas and outlines current storylines; occasionally past storylines are included in featurettes.
As of 2019, soaps included in its content are Coronation Street, Doctors, Eastenders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Australian soap operas Home and Away and Neighbours. Former soaps that were covered were Brookside, Family Affairs and Crossroads. Readers are invited to email their questions to soap stars and entries are published in interview format. Soap stars' personal lives are also covered, including tips on fashion and where to purchase clothes worn by the stars. A weekly television guide is also provided.
Each year, since 2006 the Inside Soap Awards ceremony is held, where awards are given to the cast and crew of the soaps. The awards are voted for by the readers of the magazine.
