==Internet and mobile soap opera==
{{main|Mobile soap opera}}
With the advent of [[internet television]] and mobile phones, several soap operas have also been produced specifically for these platforms, including ''[[EastEnders: E20]]'', a spin-off of the established ''EastEnders''. For those produced only for the mobile phone, episodes may generally consist of about six or seven pictures and accompanying text.

On September 13, 2011, [[TG4]] launched a new 10-part online series titled, ''[[Ros na Rún|Na Rúin]]'' (an Internet spin-off of ''[[Ros na Rún]]''). The miniseries took on the theme of a [[Mystery film|mystery]]; the viewer had to read Rachel and Lorcán's blogs as well as watch video diaries detailing each character's thoughts to solve the mystery of missing teenage character Ciara.

In 1996, Canadian artificial intelligence researcher [[Chris McKinstry]] created the online soap opera ''CR6'' (an acronym for ''Clickable Reality''); despite its obscurity, it received some media attention at the time and featured talent such as [[Brendan Fehr]]; at least eight episodes of ''CR6'' were released. It remains an early example of a [[web-series]] but despite the seemingly positive media buzz for the show, according to McKinstry, he lost over [[Canadian dollar|CAD$]]1 million on production and distribution costs, and ''CR6'' was considered a failure; while McKinstry would take his own life in 2006, thanks to the series' historical context, ''CR6'' has amassed a cult following from lost media searchers.<ref>{{cite web |title=CR6 - Lost Media Wiki |url=https://lostmediawiki.com/Cr6_(lost_early_internet_show;_1997) |website=Lost Media Wiki }}</ref>
