As The World Turns ends in Holland

Dutch television will on Tuesday broadcast the final episode of American soap opera As The World Turns, 22 years after it began transmitting the show.


The soap, which followed the fortunes of the fictional inhabitants of Oakdale, was dropped in the US two years ago because of plummeting audience figures.
As The World Turns was broadcast in the Netherlands on RTL4. In total, nearly 19,000 episodes have been shown on Dutch television.
