About this listen

Welcome to episode 5 of Besties, That’s Iconic with Elle Savage and Laurence Driscoll. In this week’s episode, we do a deep dive into the tragic world of soap deaths. As kids we met these beloved characters on our favourite TV shows, built attachments to them in weeknightly 30-minute slots, followed their hopes and dreams, and then watched as they died in horrific speedboat accidents in front of us. Let’s unpack that!


Please note that this episode includes discussions of a LOT of death, including terminal illness, suicide, plane and car crashes, and drownings. Absolutely skip this episode if you need to.
