  Family Affairs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2000 coinciding with the introduction of the Warrington family, the geographic focus of the series was redefined as being on Stanley Street in the fictitious W15 borough of West London.
Undoubtedly the most significant of these were the Costello family, with members portrayed by such television veterans as Kazia Pelka as highly-strung mum Chrissy, Kate Williams as dependable gran Myra and Gary Webster as the mild-mannered dad, Gary.
Family Affairs also went to unprecedented lengths in its treatment of the controversial issue of child abuse; in 2005 the soap won its first British Soap Award for a storyline in which young Chloe Costello (Leah Coombes) was sexually abused by a family friend, Bradley Foster (Harry Capehorn).

The desire to dethrone an elder sister or wipe the smirk off your baby brother’s face may be less a function of your natural ranking in the family and more a reflection of how effective your parents were at making you feel loved, comfortable and secure within the family hierarchy.
In a cooperative, democratic family, the birth order differences are often less dramatic,” says Dr. Stein.
Parents may falsely think that they treat all their children identically, but it’s not unusual for parents to impose high expectations — and anxieties — on a firstborn, while subsequently making the conscious decision to enjoy and have fun with their last child, whom they spoil and indulge.

One of the most extraordinary elements of this new book is an online “factbook” of family life that Bronson has compiled, and now made public.
“I wanted a clear and realistic picture of the state of family today, which meant also comparing it to what family life is like in other countries and what family life was like in our past,” he writes.
It’s very easy to drill down to the actual sources and be on your way scrutinizing data.” Although it’s a few days past Thanksgiving, it looks like Bronson’s hard work is something a lot of us should be thankful for.

Although this isn't the best of the three that would make up my complete list of good soap operas, I would say that it is the only one still in production.
What it takes to make a good soap opera is writing and although there are daily flaws in the writing of Family Affairs, over all it wins.
It wins not only because the cast and the players are so heavily embedded within their part [hell they make five episodes per week they can't help it] but because of the perspective from which the writing takes place.
