Into Soap Magazine (stylized as IntoSoap) was a fortnightly British magazine covering news, interviews, photos and gossip from the world of British soap opera. It existed between February 2004 and 2008.

History and profile

Branded as a "glam and sexy new magazine" the first issue was launched on 11 February 2004 and featured the following articles:

  • 2 pages on Kate Ford (Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street)
  • 1 page on Ashley and Laurel (Emmerdale)
  • 2 pages on Dennis, Sharon & Vicky (EastEnders)

The co-owner and director of Into Soap was Nick Cochrane, who played Andy McDonald on Coronation Street for 9 years.[1] The company he formed for the publication of the magazine was Treble Media Ltd.[1] However, due to fierce competition from other publications Inside Soap and Soaplife, the magazine ran into financial difficulties. Despite the selling of the title to a London company and gaining a readership of 75,000, Into Soap folded in September 2008.[1] The closure of the publication resulted in job losses, unpaid bills to staff and photographers and Cochrane having to sell his house after filing for bankruptcy.[1]
